[PoE 2] Crashing when ENTERING Trial of Sekhemas For the 1st Time

Crashing when traveling to the trial for the first time... what the hell PoE?!
CPU Usage out of control, Still cant enter Trial Of Hekemas. I paid money for the game, and I am probably going to stop until it stops turning my brand new PC into a heater. Maxes out CPU and gets very hot. Also, the crashes...i handled the odd ones here and there...but now every time entering the trial. Done for now, fix this ......
To this day I also crash when entering the arena of the first boss fight in Sekhemas. I was able to do the trial just fine before the last big patch in january.
Honestly this issue is bricks the game - I am in end game and I cannot complete assension quests due to the trail crashing EVERY time I enter the boss stage.
I can spend a new token and start a new trial, reach the boss - CRASH!!
100% of the time since the last update.

PLEASE fix this!
I have same problem , can't assend :(
I have had the same problem from the beginning, and the support team answered multiple times via email that they cannot help me and are sorry.
I have gone into the boss room like 15 times now just hoping it wont crash, i guess the bright side is that the instance seemed saved so i can go back in at the boss room but doesn't really matter if it crashes as soon as it tries to load in.

Any word on this at all would be nice.

Edit: I turned on DLSS and it worked not sure if its related at all but try that maybe.

any solution,same issue for me ,i tryed with vulkan or direct x , playing on low, but nothing works,everytime i enter the boss room,game crashes
This same issue is happening to me but in the Jungle Ruins of act 3, I need to get into the map to continue the story, but I crash as soon as I walk 20 meters into it. Started happening after the last patch around April 14/15.

Others are having the same exact problem but for The act 3 Matlan Waterways, & I've seen quite a few having these issues in the Manor during act 1. I've tried all the typical "fixes" and changing the in game settings/instances nothing helps.
ok,i found the solution,for me at least, I totally uninstalled the game, then I install the game,and magically, when entering the boss room i could play normally.Hope it helps someone.
