PathofExile2.exe Is consistently locking up (freezing) PC forcing a hard shutdown

the PathofExile2.exe is constantly locking up my computer and from internet searching and forum scouring multiple people are experiencing this since launch day.


Having to hard shutdown because of full blown lock up is outrageous and can cause great harm to the OS state of functionality. How has GGG not resolved this issue with a hotfix.

My only workable solution is to set the cpu core affinity to not utilize CPU 0 and CPU 1 in which this only resolves the issue with a hit or Miss probability as the issue still happens just a lot less often.

GGG please talk about this on your next upcoming changes/fixes post.
