Of course it's on GGG's side, we don't have this issue on any other game.

Because other games don't utilize some features in your system but PoE 2 does? And using them triggers certain conditions that leads to lock ups. So many users have hidden problem and kernel-level design flaw which is a root of the problem, not the game itself.

Just read how ANY user mode application interacts with your hardware, what is HAL, ring 0, ring 3, interrupts (1), system calls

Your user mode applications SHOULD NEVER EVER lead to Bug Check screens or even locks! If it happened, there is something definitely wrong with the UNDERLYING sub-systems like HAL / drivers / etc or interaction between them. The application may crash, hang, eat all of your available resources but if operating system let the application affect the critical levels (ring 0 or even lower) - it's not application's fault.

Still getting this and it seems a lot worse since the patch. I've tried most of the fixes except the CPU limiter and rolling back Windows.

The only thing I've found that's any use is setting CPU affinity, this at least makes it possible to kill the application rather than force shutdown.
