Hard crashing PC locks up
|
I was looking forward to play PoE2 with my wife.
While I have absolutely no problem with my 23H2 PC, her rig with 24H2 also hardlocks during most loading screens. I refuse to implement workarounds, especially since she isn't a technical person, who isn't bothering with running BES/Lasso on every startup. We get it. We know that the 24H2 update is fucked. There's a reason why the rollout has been stopped/halted several times. We also know that other devs faced this issue in the past, and eventually found a solution (with Microsoft) in a relatively short time. What I'm gathering after WEEKS of posts and hundreds of pages combined in different threads, is a company that doesn't bother giving a community PSA's out, that isn't a singular default copy-paste and common sense response. It gets even more frustrating if you hear from OG PoE players that this issue apparently persisted for MONTHS with an outstanding fix. I find this kind of behaviour towards their userbase absolutely shameless, and shows that the priority doesn't lie in giving people (who paid for it!) access to the game. I might look past the fact that this is an early access title, if there would be at least a basic form of communication. All I can see right now is a company, telling people with that problem to get fucked and that they update the issue when they feel like it (or more likely, wait for a Microsoft fix). I had a lot of fun. Same did my wife watching me play or switching sessions. But we won't be returning. A gentle "Fuck you" goes both ways. I don't even care if this post gets removed. This will just show me that you police your forum more than your actual playability and communication. |

" Please consider writing a review on Steam. One voice is still one more voice. Also I'm 100% sure that this problem is not isolated at Windows 11 24H2. I'm on Windows 10 22H2, I crash. Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam. I cannot send/reply to direct messages because my in-game character has not finished Act 1. What to do: 1)Write a short review about the hard crashes in notepad. 2)Copy and paste it to steam reviews, put up a negative review. 3)Copy and paste it to steam discussions, put it up there.

" Yeah i had to do that.. even tho i really enjoyed the game itself. it's good to remember that we can edit the review at any point. so players don't feel like it's a one chance to give the game an rate. I guess it's just one more way to be heard, wich we can and should be using to give this problem the attention it deserves. Last edited by drx#8804 on Jan 8, 2025, 6:40:21 PM

This bug persists as of the 0.1.0f Patch.

Well I had to go ahead and leave a negative review on Steam until they fix this. I'll update the review if/when they actually fix this issue.

Disabling processor CPU0 and CPU1 will stop your computer from fully locking up when the game is crashing.
>Task manager >details >Right click Path of Exile >Set affinity >Uncheck CPU0, and CPU1 |

" Please stop |

" Yes, but that is a pain to have to do every time you launch the game. I have also found that if the game freezes on a loading screen after you have done that, you can change the priority to realtime to get it to get past the loading screen, then change it back to normal after. I decided to install linux on my PC to dual-boot, specifically to play this game. It's sad that it runs better on linux with proton than on Windows. Now I can literally just boot up and play the game. The only downside is the launch options I need to use prevent overlays like Exiled Exchange 2 from working. |

Current patch game will not longer launch it freezes 100% of the time trying to open. Using the apps that allow my computer from crashing. Last night before my last login I didn't experience but maybe 2 crashes in several hours. But as of today with new path this evening the game will not even open. It just basically freezes and says the game stop responding it closes.
