Consistantly Crashing Since 0.2.1 Update

I'm having an issue since installing the 0.2.1 update that makes the game literally unplayable. I crash and get rolled back in every activity I load up and that's if I can even get pass the log in screen without crashing. I lose so much progress to crashing that I don't want to load the game up any more. It wasn't happening at all before the update and nothing else changed on my pc but installing 0.2.1. Also I have already tried troubleshooting in every way possible and the crashing still isn't fixed. I just want to play the game I enjoy but safe to say I'm done with poe2 until they fix this ongoing issue. GGG... I can't comprehend how you completely bricked the game with 1 singular update but fix this please.

Disable you antivirus. It should work

+1 Bump.
I'm on Series X and don't have "anti-virus to disable". Game has been a nightmare since 0.2.1. I literally have NEVER had a disconnect thwt resulted in a map being failed, loot lost, and EXP lost. Now, it's LITERALLY every time I play. Such a waste of fucking time.
So fucking done. See ya next league. Maybe

This is literally the only game that crashes my computer. I've had to do a clean install of windows 3 times since this game has come out because of all the hard crashes corrupting my system

files. The crashes have now creeped into just regular system functioning.
Found a solution that was working up until this most recent patch;
I'm using process lasso and after burner to cap my graphics card and CPU usage.

I had HWmonitor recording gpu and cpu usage/temp and power through these crashes previously. I had found that after limiting CPU affinity, that GPU power/temp spike were causing a full system crash. Once I got that under control it had been fine until this most recent patch. I did lower my GPU cap even more, and I last 1 full minute longer in game before a crash. Though I'm sure having to hard restart my computer x3 every night for the past week has made things even more unstable.

This patch crashes my whole machine despite all of the precautions I take.

I know for a fact that my hardware is not the issue. I use really demanding 3d/animation software on a daily basis with ease. I Don't know how many more clean installs of windows I have in me. I have a lot of programs and plug ins I need to download each time I reset.

Please fix this soon GGG, I really want to support you guys and continue to play, but this really makes it hard for me because of all of the time I sink into trying to troubleshoot, when I have very little free time as it is.
