Ritual deadlock detected

Hi,
ever since I started using mirage mechanic a few hours ago(with ritual) I started getting the "Deadlock detected" message which has been reported many times. I'm using steam version and the game became unplayable - getting dced 3-4 times a map which also cancels the mechanics I'm farming(ritual in this case). Tried everything that was mentioned in previous threads(except for fully reinstalling the game since there was only 1 report I saw which mentioned this helped). Before using the mirage mechanic I've never gotten the bug. If anyone knows of anything that may help(except for the list below) I'd be happy to try it.
What I did already:
- deleting PoE folder from My Games in documents files
- swapping to Direct 11/12/Vulkan
- restarting PC
- verifying integrity of the files
- downloading the newest drivers as well as downgrading the drivers
- stopped using filters from filterblade
- settings on lowest quality

Update - it got so bad that it closed my steam and forced me to restart PC because my system literally stopped working. Idk what you guys did this league but this is just sad.
