POE 2 0.3.0b patch crashing high end pc's

We need some kind of response from the Devs. We need to know if anyone is working on this. I can't play the game at all.
Don't know if it will help anyone but file check on steam found one file needed fix and after that game runs ok.
Same, constant freezes and crashiing, my hardware and internet are great - Only have problems when POE2 starts
Hi,

changing the channel count to "medium" (sound options) fixed my problems.
Dont ask me why, but works for me.

Cheers
Are you folks talking about the crash that happens when:

- game pauses suddenly and stalls.
- after awhile, the loading gears / fiery sparks appear in the background.
- loading sparks gone and goes back to last recorded moment it stalls.
- your explored map status resets
While the snow remains,
veiled in the haze of evening,
a cold leafless branch.
Flowers are only flowers because they fall,
but thankfully the Wind.

For me its exactly this issue. Never crashes, but suddendly "freezes", I hear the sounds, loading gear, everything goes to normal after 15 seconds and Im usually dead.

I did a files check too, 1 file failed to validate and has been reacquired.
It looks like it worked for me. Played for more than 1 hour without crashing.

To files check on steam :

In your steam library, right click on path of exile 2 > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files
After today's update, I can't play at all. It freezes at the loading gears, and I need to force a restart.
