POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

BES works for me.

I set a -5% limiter on the CPU with that app and haven't had a freeze in POE2 or while 8-boxing D2R ever since.

Can we get a update from a staff in regards to this issue?

PEOPLE ARE STILL CRASHING AND FREEZING.

PLEASE STOP TREATING THIS ISSUE AS RESOLVED.

I CAN BARELY GET TO THE MAIN MENU WITHOUT CRASHING.


Yea naw they have it listed as "recently fixed" in the "known issues" now. Apparently if you are still crashing then you are f'd. Cuz they seem to think the problem has been dealt with. I just had a weird crash type thing happen today after a windows 10 update.... Monitor went black and then gave me the "no signal" msg. Could still hear the game making sound for a second, then nothing. Had to hit the power button on my pc but didnt have to hold it down like a real freeze. PC did the normal shutdown process and rebooted just fine. Kinda spooky thou. Dunno if I should be playing until they get their ducks in a row at GGG. Wonder if tencent knows about all this. Someone should @them a link to this thread on X lol.
eh non ca n'est pas réglé et je me fendrais la gueule vu que maintenant on ne peux pas contourner la 24h2 que le 4 mars tout les gros streamer plante et que ca plante le jeu en masse qu'il prennent ca au sérieux , entre ca et mettre le lancement de la maj 2 jours seulement après last epoch aui a du revoir sa sortie j 'ai bien envi de le desinstaller ce jeu de merde même si j'ai laché 400 euros de pack a sa sorti

Been AFK for a while and came back today to try it out. The game still freezes my whole PC... The recent fix that listed in the Known Issue thread did not fix this issue.
Not going to bother with the game again until this is fixed universally. Plenty of better games that don't freeze my PC as though it were 1997.
PoE2: A good, giving game
Just move on with your life, this is never going to change.

GGG does not care for their community nor do they respect player time.
Just had another crash, pm'ed my info the GGG, but 544 pages and no solution doesn't bring me much hope.

Ilove the game, but I haven't had an issue like this in almost 30 years, back when I still used a Pentium Computer.

Once this gets solved, IF it gets solved, I would like to know wtf the issue was. Heck they could probably write a whole documentry about it.
Haven't played this since the second weak of early access and I'm never going to touch something that makes my brand new PC consistently lock up. This is beyond unacceptable.

If this isn't going to be resolved I'm never playing a GGG game ever again. Feels like they just stole my money lol.

And for the people who still seem to blame the consumers, you are braindead losers if you think a 4070 super, 32gb ram, ryzen 5 7600 PC should consistently lock itself because GGG can't make the game load properly. You don't release a game regardless of early access, beta or whatever and have such a critical problem and not fix that in 4 months. That is simply utter incompetence.

544 pages ? Holy hell, this is bigger then Scam citizen.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?

There's no question that this is either incompetence or straight up ignorance of the problem. Astonishing that people are sort of making excuses for GGG's response, or lack thereof, to this issue in these threads but you honestly just have to ignore those people because engaging with them isn't productive and just gives them a reason to continue to marginalize your bad experience. I'm glad I didn't spend more money than I did on this game (even though I paid $100 like an idiot, instead of $30), although some people really got it bad an paid up to 1k. As of right now I have less than 3.5 hours of playtime. I have more PC hard lock crashes than I have hours of playtime. :)

I'm sure your system runs literally any other game perfectly. I'm in the same boat, along with all the others who still experience freezing and have simply stopped bothering to check these threads. There's been no major developments since their last "fix" and I don't expect any coming updates to directly affect the issue unless GGG specifically claims it will. And I'm certain they (GGG) have no reason to not remain silent about this. As I said the "regulars" seem to have stopped posting in these threads.

Honestly? Best solution, and the dumbest possible thing ever for someone to do, is to just buy a cheap laptop and see if the game runs on it. Return it if it doesn't. That is, of course, if you're intent on getting your money's worth out of the EA period. At this point I don't expect GGG ever to fix the issue even past release. They seem to be just sort of waiting for the "dead weight" of the community to become silent and move on to other games.
