POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

Updates on the 30th of January:
- New NVIDIA driver
- New Windows 24h2 update

- Same old crashes


So, nothing changed. Absolutely unnacceptable, GGG.

same issue: trying a map, enter portal and ... kicked to win.
in logs KERNELBASE.dll error

Honestly it kinda annoys me to see any updates to the game at all being worked on that are not directly resolving this specific issue. This should be the single top priority to fix and all their resources should be fully allocated to fixing this right away.

Yeah, Win 11 24H2, newest Updates, Nvidia Driver 572.16 on a 3090RTX I never had any issues with, running on a 9800x3D.

Path od Exile 2 is the ONLY game with crashes. So no Update did help, still same old story.

Here's a weird one. Was in my Nvidia control panel and noticed my PhysX settings were set to CPU instead of my GPU for some reason. Could that possibly have anything to do with the crashes, anyone else checked theirs?

I have changed it back and going to play for a bit and see what happens.

I'm not really clued up on all this sorta stuff though so don't actually know what will change..

People need to stop tinkering with settings that worked forever. You're only going to create more issues for yourselves. It's not your settings, nor it is your PC, it's only that one game in an ocean of non-crashing games.

please fixx GGG so many ppl have this problem. You're just going to lose players every day who will probably never come back. It is unacceptable that you do not answer the question even if you are not able to fix the problem. We want an answer, how long will it take? If we can do something on our end to improve our gaming experience?? There are dozens of questions I have and it's just a shame to answer thank you for your patience

For me, downgrading the Windows from 24H2 to 23H2 fixed the computer freeze issue, although the game performance is beyond terrible on 7800X3D / 4080 Super... brand new GPU(less than 2 months old) with 3 fans and constantly on 80 degrees like.. come on

Hi, I changed my PCIE speeds from PCIE 5.0 to PCIE 4.0, no crashes so far

After days of random crashes during load screens and scouring the internet for suggestions, the only thing that has reliably worked for me has been to toggle the "engine multithreading" setting to off before loading a map. I have had zero load screen crashes since I started doing this. Once I'm in the map, I turn it back on because performance with it off is terrible.

Disclaimer: I have crashed while running a map when the whole map is exploding (ie. graphic intensive)...but at least it was only the game crashing and my computer didn't lock up.
