Multiple PC Crashes After Most Recent Hotfix

Multiple PC freeze/crashes after this latest patch, no other changes other than last patch. No issues prior to hotfix.

Crashed twice within 10 minutes of gameplay. Once on Monk after casting glacial ability on rare mob, second time on casting lightning (possibly lightning herald) hitting a rare mob. Seems to be happening right at the beginning of the animation (impact on mob).

I'm also experiencing a significant amount of game freezes after the most recent hotfix.

Sometimes it's as if time freezes in game and i can still press ESC to open and close the ESC menu but no options work to click on except to close the game.

Other times the game just complete freezes and crashes to desktop.

In two different breaches since the patch I have had the "time freeze" issue. And on several occasions, once just sitting idle in my hideout I had the freeze and crash to desktop.

I also experience two crashes that actually showed an error window indicating something about the terrain since the hotfix.
i cant even play now. freezes a few mins after opening the game.
Same, game was running fine for me until about a week ago, now I free on majority of the time when I reach the character screen.

For some reason each time it gets even worse...

They should be focusing on this hard crash issue instead of balancing the builds people like to play...

Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.
I cannot send/reply to direct messages because my in-game character has not finished Act 1.
What to do:
1)Write a short review about the hard crashes in notepad.
2)Copy and paste it to steam reviews, put up a negative review.
3)Copy and paste it to steam discussions, put it up there.
This game might be completely broken. They are unable to even attempt to fix some major problems without creating new ones. I would rather deal with the crashes for a couple more weeks and have them just communicate that they are setting the crashes as #1 priority and are taking a little extra time to make sure they get it right.

Don't give us "hotfixes" that don't actually fix what you claim it does while adding new problems. All the time right now should be focused on fixing some core issues with game stability. Don't even think about balancing anything right now.
