Hardcore death due to game crash - ugh!!

Crashes seem fairly common at the moment (happening to me and some of my friends maybe once every ~5-8 hours of gameplay). When they happen, PoE2 does a good job of protecting you - The game will pause in the state it was in for later resumption, no dying, cool!

... Except you are placed in the exact state you were in after a very lengthy and unpredictable load time, into often dangerous situations.

Not realizing this, I loaded back in after a crash, went to the bathroom, came back and was dead - I was in a boss fight. Not cool. For softcore it's annoying but whatever, for hardcore it's quite devastating.

The fix - when resuming player state into an unsafe area, the game should be paused until the player clicks a resume button.
