How to fix hard crashes?

[xSOLID_BRAVOx]

My game has been hard crashing my PC (5 times in the last hour). I've looked at some fixes as I've read the main POE2 forums but nothing is helping.

Running
32gb ram
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT
WIN 11

Welcome to the club.

There is no fix atm, just bandaid solutions that can help for a bit but nothing solid.
I recommend not playing and just wait for GGG to do something about it, if they ever will.

I'm in the same boat, I bought the game and haven't even been able to get past the character selection screen, it just hard freezes my PC and I'm forced to restart. The only "solution" that worked for me was to turn off multi threading in the graphics settings, but that makes the game run horribly.

My specs:
R5 5700X3D
4070Ti
32GB RAM
Win11

So you did the multi thread/free up 2 cores/poe2 uncrasher/role back to 23H2, bandaids? And non worked?

If so then you might just be out of luck.

I've only had it crash once when I was going through cruel, I think I took a portal after getting the ring for the hooded man in act 1, whole laptop froze, I went bio and came back to the windows login screen, it must have blue screened. But i'm at like 80hrs now and it hasn't happened again.

I downgraded from win 11 24h2 to 22h2 yesterday. And it solved my entire problem. I haven't had any crashes since then. Game ran smoother and no crash during load map. Win 11 24h2 is fockin ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I would recommend you to downgrade if you were playing in win 11 24h2

I haven't had any kind of crash issue until after the last patch. Who knows what is happening at this point? The hardware is good. The fixes seem to be akin to voodoo. One works for one person and not another, etc..

32gb
7800x3d
rtx 4070 ti super
Windows 11 (latest version)

It ran great prior to the patch and now I get what I would call intermittent crashes.

If you're using Windows 11 24H2, disable core 0 affinity via task manager as soon as you launch the game, or use process lasso to auto disable, tends to fix most of hard crashes. 24H2 broke plenty of games and programs in general.

+1 This! also 23h2 works great!

use poeuncrasher

[Маша]

I was trying several suggest methods, not tried poeuncrasher, will do.

but I'm angry on dev team who don't wanna listen us,
imagine how in future they will ignore everything if they can't react on criticals now

I don't have hard crashed, but a lof of game crashes.
GGG should prioritize stability now, the game content is good already.

Downgrade to 21h2 today, still crashes from time to time, but not as often as 24h2.

Will try 23h2 tomorrow.
