PC Freezing/Crashing

[Dubstep]

Each time I try to load into a new area my PC needs a hard restart everytime. Just wondering if others are having this issue. Only happens with POE2.

I also got the same problem with my pc. I read somewhere as a workaround; if you limit the cpu for the PoE2, it fixes the issue. I tried it yesterday and I had no issues at all!

The application name was BES - Battle Encoder Shiraze, you can google it. Just set the target -5% limit, then you are good to go. Yes you lose %5 of Cpu power for the PoE2 but, it is better than disabling the multithreading or resetting your pc for every loading.

The root cause of this problem is Windows 11 24h2. But downgrading is a bit pain in the a** right now.

My specs are 9800x3d, rtx 4090 and Windows 11 24h2.

Game was running alright till today, had a couple loading screen crashes which required a reboot, but today i cant load the game past the character select at all, hard reset every attempt

EDIT: Disabling Steam in-game overlay seems to have fixed the issue for me... for now...

Always disable.

Having this same issue. Either during initial character login loadscreen, or randomly during a area loadscreen.

Ryzen 9 5900hx bios 331
RTX 3080 16gb driver 566.36
32gb ram
Windows 11 pro 24H2 build 26100.2454
Game installed on Drive 2 1tb SSD

So here is what has worked for me so far. I am on a 7800X3D with a 4080, and on the 24H2 with the latest updates as of 12/10.

1) Use Program called Process Lasso to do two things to PathOfExileSteam
- Set CPU usage rule of 95%
- Set CPU Affinity and uncheck CPU0 and CPU1
**Set it on CPU Affinity Always and make a profile for it, this way you don't have to
keep redoing each restart
2) Disabled Steam In-game Overlay (If you aren't on steam, idk, disable any overlays)

I will update if I need to adjust more.

GGG did address this issue and are working on it.

EDIT: Game will still crash occasionally btw, just your PC shouldn't freeze up and either the game will close on its own or you can kill it in task manager. Sometimes it might crash on startup this way too, just keep trying, it does work eventually.

I'm having the same issue as everyone here. (5800X -3060Ti - 32Gb RAM). I tried this Process Lasso thing but can't seem to make the CPU usage rule of 95%, any quick tips on how to apply this?

Right click the process
Select CPU Limiter
Going from top to bottom in boxes: 95 > 0 > 1 > 10
Add Rule

I had some crashes to desktop; no error codes just "poof, here's your desktop, Dozer!" Then it dawned on me, new Nvidia drivers. No issues since.

= Win11 - all update
= No overlays running
= Only Steam and Discord
= Intel i9-9900k
= EVGA 3090 TI FTW3
= 32MB Ram
= Samsung SSD 970 PRO NVME

Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I can see on the graphs that 2 out of three times on loading screens the CPU hits 100% and crashes again. Somehow the rule doesn't work, I even tried to make it more strict but didn't help. The only positive is that now I don't have to hard reset my pc, I can just close the process for POE2.

I might have to wait for the patch, or refund it, this is simply a bad experience.

Did you disable steam overlay and also do the affinity step in my previous post? Game will still CTD sometimes on launch, and occasionally on some loads. But it shouldnt crash your PC now.

Vulkan solved it for me

I was ok until Act 2 now its unplayable for me got 3 characters to 30 but now it just crashes every 2-3 minutes

[End of Days]

Vulkan made no difference

If you mean a hard crash of the entire PC have you used a monitoring program to check if your CPU temperature is getting over 90c?
