POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Hi,

I tried many things. The only and final solution for me was using the "PoEUncrasher" from Bithub (made by Kapps), mentioned earlier in this thread. I play now second day without a single crash.

Even PoE Uncrasher can't fix it anymore for me.
I had 3 freezes in row today and on the third one PoE Uncrasher just couldn't recuperate the process.
GGG needs to be held accountable for this, i wish i could refund the game because it has litteraly become unplayable but no idea how to present this to Steam Support.

Did you run it as administrator?

Yes always, it says to do so even on the cmd when the issue arises.

You guys don't understand how uncrasher works and why it's so unreliable. Here is the source code, read it carefuly. There is literally nothing behind it, just an automation.

Well guys it's the weekend, so they won't bother to fix their 24/7-always-online-basically-a-live-service-game until at least Monday. Then it'll definitely happen because it's at the top of their list! Right???
I think I found a real permanent fix!

I ended up deleting all the folders inside both "ShaderCacheD3D12" and "ShaderCacheVulcan" (just in-case) in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile 2.

Loaded up the game (this will cause it to create new files and folders inside those ShaderCache folders) without using an uncrasher and going between waypoints to see how it goes and haven't crashed and/or freeze since then!

My guess that maybe one or more of the files were corrupted for some reason that even Steam couldn't fix?

Nevertheless, it worked!

Hope this does for everyone.

The gaming is saved!
New solution:

Socket Cast on freeze with Cold snap.

When the computer freezes during load, cast on freeze will cast cold snap which has the ability to consume the freeze.

Haven't had a crash since august 1968 using this method.
