Maybe possible workaround for gpu crashes nvidia

So i have been playing poe2 since launch at the moment i had the following system

i7 4790k
Gigabyte z97x socforce
crucial ssd
2x8gb Ram ddr3
Gigabyte 2070 non super.
Windows 10
Directx12 in game

Never had any problems with crashes always used the latest gpu driver and nvidia app i also did use the nvidia overlay to show me temps and fps

Recently i upgrade my system to the following

i9 12900k
2x 32gb ram
Msi edge wifi z690 ddr4
2x 980 pro 2tb m2 ssd
Windows 11 24h2
Directx12 in game

When i changed to this system i had instant application crashes and freezes

So i read that many people had problems with 24h2 so i went back to 23h2
Also i read that many people had problems with the newest nvidia drivers so i reverted back to 566.36 with nvidia app and overlay.

Still had some freezes, where it probably reset my gpu cause i noticed that the overlay went away and later came back, but it kept me in the game.

Still bothered with it i did some extra digging, and found out someone had luck with the 560.94 nvidia driver, so yesterday i did a ddu of the old one in safe mode, than installed this driver and physx sepperatly(not sure if needed) but without the nvidia app so no overlay.

Well i hadnt had any crashes since, poe2 flags the driver as old, but so far so good i did not had any crashes yesterday evening, normaly this would happen a few times an evening, at i think when the fps drops, so lots of flashy stuff.

Just wanted to share this it might be some could try this.

I am not certainly sure that its the drivers work cause i also got a poe2 update yesterday but still wanted to share.

Btw the game is great! i see a lot of people complaining but its early access so yeah some things are to be expected.

Tnx for the hard work!
