POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

"
hey, the only way to get their attention is downvoting the game on steam, that way investors will understand something is wrong and make ggg work on this and talk to us...SO PLEASE EERYONE DOWNVOTE THIS GAME ON STEAM...LEAVE A HONESTY REVIEW ABOUT WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUG


Sadly they already have the bag, they don't care anymore :(
Rollbacks don't solve anything. I am on Win 10. I crash. I am not sure but from the people I've talked to I've managed to pinpoint why rollback placebo happens:

You get the same benefits of clearing the entire cache. Which actually do delay the time between crashes.

I am not sure about this explanation though because I haven't tried it myself.

My friend who has a netcafe has this problem on some of their machines. It drives them crazy because these PCs are literally the same: Built with same pieces, at the same time, using the same OS, in the same place. The only thing we know is that the electrical outlet is not the problem's source because their own PC had this problem so they swapped in a working PC with theirs, and it worked.

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.
Guys,

I got Win 11 24H2 build and my games 2 or 3 times per 1 teleport freezed my pc to hard reset button.

But I found one solution and now my game is not freezing whole PC and i think maps loading faster.

Windows -> Settings System -> Display -> Graphics ->
1. Disable HDR mode
2. Disable Optimalization for Windowed Games (I'm playing on windowed mode)


Even Microsoft writing about this "feature" here > https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-24h2#3466msgdesc


"After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, you might experience issues with games if you have AutoHDR enabled in your device. You might observe that the game colors are incorrect in certain display configurations. You might also observe that some games stop responding. "

Good luck :D

This is not a Win 11 issue. If you had read the thread, you would have known this. The thread is filled with the exact same info you provided with people stating it does not work.

Dear GGG,

I love your game. And enjoy blasting on my ranger.

However, the technical performance of your game is horrible. My pc (cpu: 7800x3d, gpu: 4070ti super, 64gb ram). I have tried all the various fixes including a clean windows install. Nothing helps:

I have:

- continuous lag spikes/stuttering
- game and pc freezes often and requires a hard reboot of pc

I hope you will fix the game. I do not have any issues with other games I play. And I have these issues both in win11 23h2 and 24h2.

I am actually considering playing on my +10 year old i5, 2080rtx pc as it can only be better.

Further, I wish you would actually adress the issue instead of hiding.


Make sure to review the game appropriately on steam until this issue is addressed.


I'm seeing an increase in recent Steam reviews about this so that's good. I'm upvoting all recent reviews that mention the crash whenever I have time. I encourage others to do the same if you can.

I added a new build to PoE Uncrasher that should avoid false positives from virus scanners, but it requires .NET 9 to be installed on your computer. I don't remember if this is something that tends to be installed by default nowadays. But if you have issues with it getting flagged as a virus, that can be used instead, it just might prompt you to install .NET 9 if you don't have it already.

i dunno who you are, but I love you. I've tried everything but just this fixed the problem!
