Deadlock Detected

Game is freezing on a constant basis, unplayable. This league is clearly over.
Past 2 days, roughly once an hour I get this fucking freeze where the entire process just won't respond, can't close or anything. It's always forcing a hard PC restart.

I've noticed it happens more when people join my hideout to buy stuff but whatever. Doesn't happen in maps. Had same issue in POE2 and it got resolved at some point, disabling core 0,1 here didn't help. 7950x3d with 4090

+1 deadlock here, getting the same error for the past couple of days.

When I do load into the game or make it to the beach (just trying to get the Gauntlet MTX), I get insane lag spikes.

Posting here just in case a fix comes up
+1, this is driving me crazy. This error only appears in heist, and I can't figure out the pattern. Sometimes it happens in the first seconds after entering an area, sometimes when opening a locked chest, and sometimes out of nowhere.
For me, it shows up in the log file as [CRIT Client xxxxx] Deadlock detected with timeout 10000ms; running graph nodes: Simulation
I've tried almost every suggestion in this and other threads with this issue, but nothing has worked.
The 14-page thread remains unanswered, and the "known issues / FAQ" was last updated on March 17th and contains no information about the deadlock problem. We need someone from GGG to at least respond, saying they're investigating the issue or taking some action.
+1 some maps I am losing 3 to 5 portals to deadlock. I know you guys are busy but please respond. A simple "we are working on it" would be great.

Most of these deadlocks happen right after I log into the game, and they're even causing my Windows to freeze up completely.
Getting deadlocks now.
Was playing all league with no crashes up until last night (4/14/2026).
Now constantly crashing. (4/15/2026)

Nothing has changed between last night and now, No patches.

+1 deadlock here..
At league launch everything was fine, then 1 day logged in and I get constant freezes and deadlocks. Unplayable.
Just started getting the Deadlock Detected message. I have not had this issue until this weekend.

GGG pls fix!

Any suggestions from GGG to fix this issue? It seems to be getting worse.
Yeah it's constant today. No point doing maps as you most likely will get the deadlock message popping up.
when will a fix be given? How can GGG ignore so many people complaining about this problem. Is it not possible to fix for them? or we as small minority facing this problem dosent matter much?

Any response from GGG is appreciated.
