POE 2: Frequent Disconnects When Many Effects Occur on Screen (Possible False Anti-Cheat Trigger)

Hello,

I believe I have identified the cause of a recurring issue that keeps kicking me back to the main menu. I have tested many different settings, but nothing resolves it. The problem occurs 100% of the time whenever a large number of visual effects appear within a single second. When I perform many actions very quickly, the game freezes for about one second and then disconnects me straight to the main screen.

At first it almost feels like an anti-cheat system is triggering, as it looks exactly like a forced kick. However, I am not using any macros, nor am I spamming clicks at high speed. The issue happens simply when my character casts multiple lightning bolts per second, which consistently causes the freeze and subsequent disconnection.

I am currently playing a Lightning Huntress, and the game has become nearly unplayable because of this issue — during normal gameplay it can happen up to 3 times within 5 minutes.

Lowering graphics settings or disabling effects does not help — even on the lowest possible details, the problem still occurs.

Could you please investigate this?

All drivers are up AMD 9 7900x3D RTX 4070Ti 64GB RAM M.2

Thank you in advance.
