POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

This feels terrible, I just want to play the game but it keeps on crashing. Done all suggested solutions to no avail.
Decided to try and play the game again after getting those nasty PC freezes in December 2024.

They're still there, and PoE2 is quite literally the only game that does that to my computer because anything else I've played doesn't freeze my entire PC.

I'm very disappointed to see that this issue still lingers after half a year since I first saw it being reported.
hello GGG The staff:
Please take a look at this BUG Composition:
Video address 1 https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1egEVzZEfJ/?spm_id_from=333.337.search -card.all.click&vd_source=7b3838b16e142babfa64ff959c338ec0

Is there still balance to speak of?

Can damage be stacked infinitely? Your game testers are too incompetent.
So, am I getting this right: they don't even acknowledge this as a bug anymore?

This should give you an idea of what's happening over at GGG:

High priority issues:

Ascent to Power quest text in Cruel Act 2 is misleading.


Clearly there are more important things to worry about.
Just wanted to let you guys know, Microsoft wrote back to my bug report, that the bug will be fixed with Windows 11 insider version >= 27785. As I always suspected, this issue was indeed a bug in the Windows 11 24h2 CPU scheduler. Here is the official answer by MS:

"[...] that the bug you have signaled has been correctly solved, and it was tied to an erroneous approximation of the cycle counter when the frequency of the CPU was going more than 4 GHz, which is the maximum amount representable with a UINT32.

Windows Insider versions >= 27785 should solve the problem."

Have a nice day.

You cant break your PC if it is set up properly, you just have to reset the PC if it hangs in this case

This is not a bug in POE2 as already said from the beginning

And you have lots of workarounds for it, as explained before in this thrread.

thanks for the replies :)

but just for OTHERS IT is a poe1 and poe2 problem

i read all in this post, and there is no unique and stable way to have a safe poe
some lagging/crashing/fps drop or need poeuncrasher
on windows (every version) even linux
personnaly i begin to have lot of crash 2 month before the EA on poe1
so its code optimization prob :)

but GGG just add content and not optimizing code
maybe a day?
