Fix for PoE2 Crashes on Gen 13/14 CPUs

Hey Exiles,

If you're using a 13th or 14th-gen Intel CPU and experiencing random game shutdowns in Path of Exile 2 without any error messages, I might have a solution for you.

After tons of crashes and testing, I found that using the Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility to lower the performance cores (P-cores) resolves the issue. Once I made this adjustment, the game ran smoothly on DirectX 12 with all settings on high.

If you’re dealing with crashes, give this a try—it worked wonders for me. Hope it helps, and happy grinding!

You can thank me later, Exiles. 😉
