Hard crashing PC locks up
" Trying this out, now. Will update if/when I crash. Weird side note, the game seems to be using less memory after making this change. Could just be a placebo. (this is for POE1) Last edited by DomzyPrivs#5120 on Dec 21, 2024, 5:26:06 PM

I uninstalled the GPU drivers using DDU and reinstalled them without connecting to the internet.
Added all folders related to the game to Windows Defender exclusions. Disabled core isolation. Reinstalled the game. Ran PoEUncrasher. Switched from DX12 to Vulkan. Played for 6 hours without a single freeze; everything worked perfectly. Let’s see how it goes moving forward—honestly, I’m not sure which of the steps actually did the trick! 😊 |

I'm done with the game for a while. Constant freezing and PC crashes. Just in the last thirty minutes it's crashed twice on an ascendancy run, and both times I lost every reward. I have the game on the lowest settings, I have a 4070ti, a i7-13700KF, and 64gb ram, and my computer is constantly above 50% CPU and 98% GPU while playing. That's not normal. That does not happen in any other game, including games that are way more intense than POE2.

" This didn't work for me. Hard froze my computer again after ~30 minutes. So far the only thing that works for me is to set processor affinity AND use BES to limit the process to 90% | |

Hey everyone, I put together a new video showcasing over 25 different fixes including KappsUnCrasher and ProcessLasso.

Game is going to fry peoples PC. My PC is far above the recommended specs and this freezing and hard locking my PC is just silly. I don't trust the game for now, until they fix it. Leaving 2 of my cores open to save the hard lock is just a putting a band aid on a wound that won't stop bleeding. I have to replay the entire area again.
I understand this is EA but this is something that could cost me a lot of money and time personally and I am not willing to keep "testing" their game which was paid for to play early. Please take these post seriously GGG......wrecking peoples PC's is something that should have been caught before release of EA. |

For Intel users (specifically 13th and 14th gen users) suffering from this issue, I have the solution for probably a large portion of us. The windows version is completely irrelevant. I learned this in the dumbest way possible. I had a lot of friends begging me to attempt to play marvel rivals with them, upon downloading the game a large notification came up on the launcher that informed 13th and 14th gen users that if they are unable to load the shaders without their game crashing, they should download Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and set the Performance Core Ratio down from 55 to either 53 or 52.
I originally ignored this, attempted to download the shaders, and the game crashed. Afterwards, I attempted one final time and my screen froze up exactly as it did after loading instances in POE 2 maps. I immediately downloaded the Intel tool, changed my performance core ratio to 52, and the game ran as smooth as butter. The next day, I figured I could try POE 2 again and boom. It's running perfectly smooth on max graphics. I have minimized, opened up other applications, and streamed the game without a single crash for the last two days. I wish I understood more about computers because Path of Exile 2 absolutely melts your cpu whenever you are loading into new areas (albeit for maybe two seconds). Please if you are an Intel users try this and see if it works. You may have to reopen the tool every time you turn on your PC but once it is on, you should have no issues. |

" Unfortunately there's a decent chance this may not be the same cause as for others in this thread, and probably means your CPU got impacted by the Intel 13th/14th gen issues. Once it starts triggering, you'll get random process crashes or weird issues, most frequently when CPU usage is very high (such as during a loading screen). For my 13900k, underclocking helped but ultimately weird issues would pop up more frequently and I had to eventually RMA it (or in my case get annoyed after doing this twice before and just buy a 9800X3D instead). For those with 13th/14th gen Intel chips, really important to update your BIOS before this starts happening. If you don't get issues in other situations, great. But if you start getting random weird program crashes, or odd issues (in my case GPU drivers wouldn't install anymore), you may have to warranty the CPU. |

I've had a few times where the system, and everything on all 3 monitors, was frozen.
By waiting a few minutes (real minutes not the it's not happening fast enough kind :) my system recovered without needing to power cycle. I'm wondering if that is just me or if anyone else also experiences this.
