POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

They're pushing 24H2 out as a mandatory update in the near future so this is not a fix in the slightest. Also, tons of people have tried this and it hasn't worked for them up to this point (including me) so, while a nice temporary workaround for some people, it hasn't worked for most people based on the nearly 4500 replies in this thread.

Hi guys,

Im happy to report that at least on my end this bug is 100% resolved now by rolling back the most recent windows update. I used to crash ever 2-3 maps, now I've been mapping all morning and no problems.

Type in Recovery in your search, and select the January update. Remove it. It takes about 15 mins.

Enjoy.

This doesn't work for everyone, if you take too late to backup, you don't have that option anymore. And people are not willing to clean the entire PC to a fresh install for a game crashing.

My only solution is still poe uncrasher, atleast I can play all day with no freezes until they fix this somehow.

PLEASE stop suggesting rollbacking to 23H2 as a solution.

1/ It's not widely available, Microsoft only offers 24H2
2/ Some people can't rollback as they've been for longer than 10 days in 24H2
3/ The fault is within this shit game, not Microsoft

Full PC crash with the new PoEUncrasher version running as admin, worked fine for hours and instantly crashed, we need an update on this, it's ridiculous.

I will not "stop suggesting". I prefaced by saying it worked on my end. it is one of the solutions. yes, it is a GGG issue.

It's not a solution, it's a workaround.

The best solution is not to play until fixed, as the game hangs constantly and it is annoying, the game is very raw, the problem here in 24H2 or X3D I do not know, but the developers could at least do testing and posted ways to solve, but after almost 2 months, no answers.

Well we paid for early access so we kinda throw our money for nothing at this point... if the game release and no fix before the release ... we would have paid for nothing since the game is free (yeah we still have ingame curencies, but on a game we would still not be able to play)

on Bazzite it works perfectly solid as a rock. no crush for a week as suggested by a user a few days ago I tried Bazzite and after trying everything, finally you can play without fear of crush.
Warning: I'm not saying to install a Linux system to play poe. I'm just saying that there is another possibility. it's not a placebo, I have a month's experience with win 24h2 and 23h2 with a PC 7800x3d - 4070s.
Warning (2) it might not start at the first try because the game doesn't create an .ini file but it's an easily solvable problem. this is not just a problem of ggg, but of Windows and its latest terrible update.

It has been 46 days now.

Still not a single attempt at communication on GGG's side.

Still not a single attempt at fixing the issue...

That's why, once again I ask anyone who encounters this problem to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam in a detailed and informative manner so that others will be made aware of the issue.

+1 Only poe2 is freezing the computer. No other software on my system have issues. Cpu spikes and alttab issues? meh, this teaching me to stay away from ggg and other early access games.
