I have been suffering with the very same issue i am not gonna try to change the update nor go after band-aid fixes if the only game im having this problem is PoE2.

3060 12gb
16 gb ram

This is a Nvidia issue, I have a RX 6800 CORE and I have no crashing issues.

Seems everyone with this issue is on Nvidia.

I've been crashing frequently and having signficant fps issues. None of the fixes I"ve found have helped. Game runs fine until I get into combat. 100+ fps down to 35-40.

This is not just happening in windows 24H2. I never bothered with that update, run 23H2 and I get constant full computer crashes. Others do to even with Windows 10.
I don't crash but the moment my cpu reaches 100 % utilization the performance tanks. ryzen 5600x nvidia 3060. seems that this combination of nvidia gpu and ryzen is predominant here. I have no issues in other games.
same problem, game froze my PC 3 times during teleports. I don't even know if it is safe to continue to play like this.

Hello!

There seems to be an issue with Win11 update 24H2 that is causing constant crashing, especially while changing zones. The crash conditions always feature a CPU usage of 100%, and leads to a full system freeze. I have one other friend who is also experiencing this crash, who is on 24H2. Several of my peers are running 23H2 or below, and are not experiencing the same crash.

Through my online research, it appears that NVIDIA drivers are not the cause, and there is a broad range of players with different hardware setups seeing this crash. Renderer does not appear to make a significant impact on frequency of crashes, though in my personal experience, DX12 crashed significantly more often due to D3D12 errors. Vulcan had less crashing in my case.

Please see more reports on this Steam community discussion for the game.

Users facing this issue appear to circumvent the crash by disabling Multithreading in game before zone transitions. Some other users report success by limiting CPU threads to the PoE client .exe in task manager.
Same problem with me...please GGG fix your this
Just automatically updated my windows to this version!
Before updating - 0 crashes in POE 2
After updating - screen freezes, 100% usage of cpu every time, low fps
Please ggg do smth
