AMD driver timeout during mapping which freezes whole PC

got the same thing I cannot play CoC comet or my game freeze then I get the GGG gear reload happen alot.. I had to switch to CoC arc to make the game playable

9950X3D with 7900xtx, vulkan is unplayable for me, latest driver adrenalin driver installed

This is the precedence root cause to my crashing issues :

Could we get a hotfix for addressing this issue? :
Owners of AMD Graphic system, could enjoy the game as is used to be :)

I have the same issue although i'm not playing CoC yet i get driver timeout and the Game as well as my PC freezes, it seem to occur only on certain Maps as well as in Campaign in certain areas, Digsite map is a huge problem. Already deleted shader folders, reinstalled the Game, reverted GPU driver to an older version but it doesn't help, it sure isn't on my end.

same here with Cyclone CoC FR :(

same problem : latest driver ; latest win update : playing spark : random game driver crashes : 7900 XTX , 9800X3D

fix would be great

Same here and GGG thinks AMD has to fix drivers and issue is only with their game. I play other games too and no problems. Downgrade version just for Poe2 makes no sense. I rather not play this league. Funny thing is that game crashing more with Spark builds than it did with plants druid.
This tells me its game related and GGG doesnt know how to fix, probably heavy shader issue.

I have same with CoC Comet+spark 7900xtx
if I replace comet with Arc - Im good to go.
hope it will be fixed next league at least

7900 XT. I have the same issue. 50/50: Computer reboots or the game freezes for 5-7 seconds after using the Comet skill if there are many other spell effects on the screen, mainly during boss battles.

Description
Just made a new build with spark to trigger CoC and CoA with Adonia's Ego. In hideout there is no issues or freezes, then I start mapping with this build and after 10-15 seconds in fight game just freezes, AMD shows driver timeout issue and whole PC is stuck.
First time it didn't stuck, but decreased my fps from 60 to 20, I jumped to hideout and it again became 60, jumped again in map and in fight it drops to 20. Restarted game, then received PC freeze. Removed all cache and tried Vulcan instead of DX12, thought that it may fix issue, but it started to load so long, that I tried to switch back to DX12. Unable to do it through settings, game just stuck with deadlock. Opened config file for Poe and changed there. Tried another map and got whole PC freeze again. So specific map is not an issue, I assume it could be Commet triggering on CoC or CoA that causing such case.
Game file is verified, no issues found.

same here, funny got exactly the same pc build, only 64 gb of RAM
but i feel the problem is in the comet skill, only but only happends when i use comet, no other skills have issues just the comet one.

makes me sad a bit because it looks damn cool.
dont need the dmg boost.
i just leave it out for now until i read some patch fixed it.

any good alternativ spells to put in?

I tried with the new drivers (26.1.1), it’s the same issue — I crashed halfway through the first map. I switched back to Arc instead. I also tried with DX12; Vulkan still seems dead for me.
