PoE freezing between all campagin and maps

PoE freezes but the mouse remains movable. The freeze lasts about 4 seconds, then the screen goes black with the GGG loading wheel in the center. After that, the game resumes, but my map overlay resets.
If it happens while I'm in a map, it disconnects me.
My connection is stable with no packet loss.
Please help — it's extremely frustrating.

I have the exact same Problem and i dont know if that has to do with the Server Issues or is this a Graphics/Driver thing ?

Same here, tried different drivers - no change.

i could fix this specific issue by just switching from dx12 to vulkan, i hope it helps you guys also :)

exactly same problem...

I have this problem as well. I initially assumed it was a server issue, but now after some tests I know it's not the case.
This issue happens almost like clockwork around 25-30 mins of game time, and it also happens while playing POE2.

It does not happen when I play standard PoE 1 (I just tested, played for an hour with zero disconnects). I switch back to Mercenaries League and I get disconnects every 30 mins or so. Something that has been ported from PoE2 into Merc League is causing these issues.

If anyone else has these problems, I encourage you to time the space between disconnects, see if there's a regular period that they happen.

This is right before the crash
