path of exile 2 crash on shader loading

I have had issues with path of exile crashing and have found a pattern. It's always when shader bar is full, sometimes it used to live through a shader loading session, and then it sometimes worked for a bit, when i got to late game i found that when i entered a map i hadn't opened before i would crash about 5 times in that map before it got stable. Now i can't even open poe2 after i tried to fix the issue, when i start poe2 it lingers for a bit with full shader bar and high drive load.

I have tried everthing related to crashes on the forum. Cleared shader folder, make exeption for the shader folder(improved performance a lot when the game was still opening), validating files, tried many driver versions for gpu, and probably a few more.
