Deadlock Detected

I have been playing Mirage for a week now and all of a sudden it crashes doing anything

Same error "deadlock detected" and extreme 8GB RAM usage on a login screen without even doing anything, just afk.
Vulkan/dx11/dx12 - all the same.
It started since last small update of poe, not right after league start
ggg pls fix

yes the ram usage increases massively right before deadlock detected

hellooooo,

it just started today... updated everything.. wtf is going on WHO IS DEADLOCK and where can i find to beat him/her up

Can confirm, started today, happens regardless of chosen renderer. Linux, latest stable Proton 10, standalone client. With Vulkan I don't get past the login screen; with DX12 and DX11 I get past character selection to the instance loading screen with the gears animation, and then there it stays until it issues the deadlock error after 10k msec.

*Edit:* Oh, forgot: packcheck reports all good; renaming/deleting AppData/Roaming/Path of Exile/ and/or Documents/My Games/Path of Exile/ doesn't help; clearing all Mesa caches doesn't help either.

*Edit 2*: Retried with a new, pristine Wine prefix, reinstalled PoE from scratch, and went through all Proton versions provided by Steam, plus the latest GE-Proton. No dice, deadlock every single time regardless of renderer.

*Edit 3*: Two days later, and the problem has disappeared for me as mysteriously as it appeared in the first place. Nothing at all changed on my end, not even my IP address, router has a few weeks uptime... I dunno. It wasn't a client hotfix either. This certainly supports the theory that the issue is in reality *server*-side (although I'd tried all gateways with no success.)

for anyone still possibly struggling try updating your drivers and if that doesnt work delete this folder C:\Users####\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2

I updated my drivers and was still crashing but when i deleted the folder it worked just fine no idea why but it worked
______________________________________________

Worked for me.. you will need to remake your UI/keybinds

I recently encountered this problem. I reinstalled the game on another ssd, I'm using a filter downloaded directly from Filterblade, and I also turn off MSI Afterburner while playing. The error recurs, but infrequently and not systematically

I delete all my custom filter in :
C:\Users\Users\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile

I wait 15sec, the pop up deadlock appear but the game loads and works.
I just slide in corner the pop up.

Same here. The popup occurs every start now for me. I slide it to the corner and just play.

I am getting quite a few deadlock while the game is running in the background. Playing the game doesn't cause it. But when I tab out to another window and poe is running windowed borderless then there is a chance that I get a deadlock.
It's especially worse when I tab out before a loadscreen or when my internet connection isn't very stable. I am playing on 2 different internet connections and one is less stable than the other. So I can for sure say that this is a factor for me.
I haven't tried switching graphic modes or anything. I suspect it's more a netcode thing than a graphics issue.
