I have to quit POE2 until PC crashes are fixed. Where's the communication?

I'm with you, and this needs to be solved like WELL before any other fixes. Things I've noticed:

-It seems that if I have YouTube in the background it almost guarantees a crash.
-First handful of days after launch had zero issues (my personal experience).
-Turning off multi-threading seems to fix it, but definitely overburdens one of your cores.
-Fresh reboot lets me play the game pretty smooth without crashes, but successive plays seems to "prime" my system for a "heavy stun".
-One of the only scenarios GGG has not been very clear or transparent about that I've ever seen.

At this point, I'm scared I am going to damage my system, and I can't afford to replace anything currently.

Yeah I think I'm going to have to join you on this one. My latest PC freeze today had me looping in the BIO's. I had to reinstall windows 11 to get it top stop. The constant freeze's are legit breaking my PC and it wasn't cheap, I'll revisit at a later date, this is not worth flushing $2,000 worth of hardware.

LOL no game has the ability to effect your bios to make it boot loop.... and it wouldn't do anything to the master boot record to stop windows from working. Like the most likely thing is the CMOS got cleared while holding down the power button but that could always happen, and instead of having to reinstall windows you just would of need to swap the legacy/UEFI setting and your windows drive would have shown back up.

Thats not true in the slightest, its not the game crash that messes up the MBR its the forced power off of the computer due to a hard lock. This can lead to drive corruption which can absolutelu cause the MBR to become corrupted

You need more technical education

I’m experiencing the same PC crash issue on Windows 11 when playing Path of Exile 2. I have to shut down the PC manually.

LOL you're trying to tell me windows is actively writing to the MBR normally or the SSD has the MBR stored in it's buffer AFTER windows has booted and he loaded a game????? Only things in the buffer or stuff being actively written have a chance to have data corruption. HOW IS LOSING POWER GOING TO EFFECT SOLID STATE MEMORY SECTORS THAT'S NOT ACTIVE IN ANYWAY. You think it's releasing a tiny emp or something?????? Next you'll try and tell me he was partitioning the drive while playing the game and changed the table unit size. Some piece of the hw failed it's not just randomly loosing the allocation table, either way the entire drive would be borked it's not coming back it's not just corrupted data. He wouldn't just able to wipe/part and write windows to it.
