POE 2 0.3.0b patch crashing high end pc's

Hi all, if you have the freeze problem try changing renderer from Directx 12 to Vulkan. That solved it for me.
I'm having the same problem!
The game crashes, the map restarts, the connection drops!
Sometimes the entire PC freezes and the only way to get back into it is by restarting!

Was crashing after ~1 hour of gameplay in campaign, reached maps and now crash ~10 minutes. Can barely get through 1 map. Crashes with no error message, game freezes and stops responding. a couple times it would pick itself up and keep going for a bit if Im patient but it would always crash soon after.

My specs:

Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF (3.40 GHz)
GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
OS Windows 11 24H2

Using m.2 SSD.

Never had issues in 0.1 or 0.2


Found a workaround to stop crashing. Just found specific settings that seem to work for me.

Vulkan
VSync off
Upscale NIS
All detail settings low (8x filtering)

Performance is not optimal, choppy and lower framerate than I could get, but it works and its playable without crashing :D
Saw on chat in twitch, someone said to: go to Settings> Display> Graphic Driver>
under custom settings for applications: set POE 2 GPU preference to High Performance. it worked for me. i also deleted 3dcache and in device manager systems devices > high precision event timer "disabled". it froze 1 time and shut 1 time too. play session was 8 hrs today. been smooth, of course turn a lot of setting down.
Just purchased POE2 and I'm experiencing the same issues as described. I can't get past the character selection without experiencing a crash to desktop with no error message.

Between this and Helldivers 2 I'm starting to wonder if anyone is testing anything before it's released.

I changed today from dx12 to vulkan and tested for hours and solved it for me!
Ty guys!
I'm getting whole game crashing, black screen of death, game pauses and forced to quit. I re-installed the entire game today, still crashing. At one point I got a window saying something about my GPU... I'm stuck in the third act in the same area because the moment I encounter anything lightning the game can't handle it. I've tried to play every which way I can with changing the settings.

Found this in another thread, fixed it all for me. Performance isn't perfect, but no crashes and it is playing way better.

I have a brand new pc, not even a month old with a RTX 5070TI in it and for the past 1-2 days I've had some SERIOUS issues in certain maps, severe stuttering and lagging so hard it makes the game close. IDK what's going on but they need to fix this, literally makes it unplayable, i just died 3 times in an Abyssal Corrupted Nexus map that i literally spent all day mapping too. I think its the game and not my PC because every other game runs fine. I played the whole campaign till now on max graphics optimized by the NVIDIA app just fine. Something they did in these last few hotfixes messed something up is my belief.
I just encountered this crash after upgrading my ram to 32gb i also have the b760 MSI mobo others have listed, buts its a common mobo.

I was instilling my amulet at the time and it appears to be gone ; ;
