Early Access Bug Reports - POE2 Win11 24H2 Crashes - Constant crashing, >100% CPU usage, and more - Forum

It's been like this for months, even for PoE 1 on 24H2. For me it freezes the whole PC at least once per day and I'm able to play the game for a while after restarting it.	Posted by khanjui#7233 on Dec 9, 2024, 6:44:16 PM Quote this Post

Since new update I’m having the same issue on both of my pc machines. Whenever I am loading into town or a different area my game will freeze and brick my pc. Please fix this asap. Thanks!	Posted by ThosGaming#0689 on Dec 10, 2024, 6:10:44 AM Quote this Post
Having the same issue. 3080Ti Ryzen 3700x 32Gb DDR4 ram Apparently it really is a CPU issue. Newest windows update did nothing. I am having to deallocate two threads through task manager to be able to handle the crash without a manual restart to the computer. When is the fix coming? No other games have this completely gamebreaking bug. Having the game freeze after like 10-20 minutes of gameplay.	Posted by DoSSism#5017 on Dec 10, 2024, 10:06:03 AM Quote this Post

Same issue, Windows 24H2, 7600X3D, 4070TiSuper. Occasional crashes, always during a loading screen. CPU jumps to 100% or whatever the number close to that before freeze. RivaTuner stats freeze in the upper corner, mouse might move with some stutters and after a few seconds whole computer locks up and requires a hard reset.

" The_Lobster#7668 wrote: Okay, just a heads up I was able to get some stable play in. I frankly don't know what setting I change that resolved, but I did the following: * Turned off NVIDIA Reflex * Turned off Engine Multithreading * Went into Windowed Fullscreen Mode * Lowered various video settings (though I this was to combat lower performance in town) Hope that helps someone! It hasn't frozen or crashed in at least 40 minutes of gameplay. I'll update if I do run into another crash though Just wanted to come back and update. Today I re-enabled Engine Multithreading and the freeze happened again with-in 30 minutes of play. That appears to be the root cause for me at least. I know other folks have reported that it is happened even with Engine Multithreading disabling.	Posted by The_Lobster#7668 on Dec 10, 2024, 2:45:24 PM Quote this Post
100% this is happening to me.	Posted by LoveDJ#5706 on Dec 10, 2024, 2:49:53 PM Quote this Post
Having the same issue for POE2 and POE1. EDIT: As of 12/17, no hard crashes since 12/10 after following a recommendation to disable Engine Multi-threading in settings. I will update this again if a hard crash occurs in POE1 or POE2. Last edited by solidgone#4130 on Dec 17, 2024, 8:13:17 AM	Posted by solidgone#4130 on Dec 10, 2024, 2:51:20 PM Quote this Post
