Crashing at load screen AGAIN

[Daeta]

Did this day one for me but i fixed it by not updating to windows 11 vs 24h.
it worked great for a week and now all of a sudden its doing it again. game just closes out completely after choosing a character to log into.

Yeah same here, at this point just gonna have to wait for an actual fix which who knows when that will come out. All you can do for now is limit the cores poe2 uses so your whole pc doesn't freeze, that way you can atleast end the game in task manager.

i have turned off the Steam Overlay for this game and i haven't any chrashes anymore.

Thankfully it doesnt freeze the whole computer. its just shutting the game down

Yep seems to happen more frequently after the recent update.

I can load into every single other character I have except the one that I actually want to fckn play. its so annoying

If you have a Nvidia card - try running using: Vulkan / Nvidia DLSS / Nvidia DLAA

Mine only crashed (frequently) when I switched to DX12 and no upscalling, using the aboive I haven't had a crash.

Personally, I was on 24h2, and the game would crash a few seconds after launching. I formatted my system to install an earlier version (23h2), and at first, it worked. Yesterday, I was in the middle of playing, changed maps with my character, and boom! The game closed again.

I’ve tried installing the game on different hard drives, both faster and slower ones, but nothing seems to work. The game keeps closing a few seconds after launching (which doesn’t even allow me to adjust the settings).

It’s infuriating! ...

Yeah I'm getting same, I could make it to the main menu sometimes and other times, I'd load my only character and it would either drop to desktop, or just reboot PC..

Ryzen 9, 3060 RTX, 24H2.

I was thinking of dropping to 23H2 but I see no reason when it's only this game that I'm having the issue with.

Temps are fine also, 37 - 64 under load.

Hi
I have an even bigger problem with POE2.
Whenever I play POE2, my entire internet crashes every time after a while.
So nothing works anymore and this globe appears in the taskbar instead of the Internet monitor.
If I then terminate POE2, the Internet activates itself again after about 2-3 minutes.
This really only happens with POE2.
Not with other games like D4, POE1, Once Human, Dayz ect... only with POE2 and every time.
Sometimes only after 30 minutes of play, but sometimes after 5 minutes.
Sometimes it's 2-4 times a day and then again just 1 time and the rest of the day it works.
I've been playing without POE2 for days and didn't have the problem. As soon as I play POE2 the problem occurs again.
So it must be due to POE2, but I can't explain why and where the problem is.

It has been said, for thousands of times, that 24H2 has nothing to do with it. It's a coding issue. Maybe 24H2 has been reported more because more people just so happened to be on it when it was noticed. Downgrading is just placebo and resets whatever variables trigger the freeze (a cache, custom config, etc.), but if it happened once, it will happen again.

The most "reliable" fix is reducing core affinity by 2 cores and *always* turning off multithreading in game options before going through a loading screen, but even that is not yet a 100% proven workaround.

This has to be fixed by GGG. The question is, are they actually capable, because for sure they know what the issues is by now.

Same, game is crashing on all chars now.

Turn off steam overlay. No crashes anymore for me.
