Loading screens crash my PC

Same problem.

Ryzen 7 5700x
RTX 3080 8GB
48GB DDR4
Windows 11

I've had frequent crashes during area loading as well, since early access started (had no issues during closed betas).
I'm running Windows 11,
RTX 4060
Ryzen 5600x
Acessing the game through Steam.


Things I did that may have had an effect:

* Turn on admin mode for the game seemed to decrease frequency of crashes (can't confirm effect, though)

* I noticed on Windows event viewer error logs related to 'GameInput' Service, so I uninstalled it and turned off any support on Steam for controllers for PoE2. So far, haven't had this type of error occur.

* Changed to windowed mode, running with no crashes for several hours. I did this to test if I'd be able to close the game when it crashed.

* I noticed as well that sometimes the screen resolution looked maladjusted when starting the game, so before loading any character, I resetted the resolution to 1920*1080. It changed by itself to a custom resolution sometimes. Never had crashes after doing this and running again on windowed fullscreen.

Alt-tabbing seems to increase frequency of subsequent loading crashes.
Edit: Also, if the game doesn't freeze in the first or second loading screens, it usually doesn't happen at all.

Edit 2: finally I crashed even in windowed mode.

Updating my previous post.

I tested Dx12 and Vulkan, some other graphic options and none of it worked.
Also could not find other relevant errors in the Event Viewer.

Still crashed after today's patch.

Same issue here.

If you haven't already, I suggest checking out the other two threads about this crash, each with over 100 pages of comments by now.

But it couldn't hurt to get another thread going to put more pressure on GGG to address this...

As of Patch 0.1.0e it is still not fixed.

It has actually gotten worse since the latest patch.

So "for now" here is the "fix" according to Pirate software and shroud. I haven't had any crashes/freezing but the stutters are still there nothing well fix that with the memory leaks in game confirmed by Ziz. Enable vulkan and turn shadows to high, 8x anisotropic filtering, no upscaling NIS. When the game launches go task manager details and set POE affinity cores and uncheck 0-1. Also select your gpu instead of auto for physx in the nvidia control pannel. I haven't froze all week since this fix but at the cost of my games visuals and performance. 4080s/7800x3d/24H2 windows 11. 70-100fps 3440x1440 all other settings maxed.

Tried, does not work.

Seems to be getting worse again with the crashes.
Still no fix
