Hard crashing PC locks up

Having to hard reset my computer 2 or 3 times a day because of this is painful.

Use PoEUncrasher until they patch this and you're fine.

lol move the goalposts to fit your narrative if you want. It's quite clear to me that putting this info inside the Known Issues thread as high priority is clearly an announcement that they're looking into it. No update since then means there is nothing further to announce. People have lost any critical thinking skills around here.

The single sentence at known issues is deflecting the blame towards Win 11 24H2, which has been proven to be not related to the crash; given the fact that we have ample reports of Windows 11 23H2, Win 10, Linux etc. also crashing. This is also not "communication" but rather "declaration".

Not a single apology.
No estimated time until fix information.
Not ONE warning on how this is dangerous for customer's computers.
Not a single mention of reparations.

Not even "we are still working on it" declaration... Naturally no mention of which potential sources they have eliminated.

Yeah these are not important things to communicate with your customer base who have paid at minimum 30$, most probably 100$ and from the badges I've seen upwards to 2000$ (really?)...

Furthermore, I ask anyone who sees this message to please give a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.

lmao dude wants reparations

Well it is actually the norm. When your game has a bug that does not allow paid customers to play it for a long period of time, you make it up to your players. Generally this is done via providing MTX currency.

Unfortunately for GGG the issue has gone far too long and the vacation bit soured the situation further so the amount they should give based on other similar cases has become an incredible number. It is their decision to either face the music or just downplay it.

In my opinion they will decide to try downplaying it but then this PR nightmare will never end for GGG. "Important people"-we all know who- at Tencent have been asking questions and putting pressure on Sixjoy.

On a side note it is good to know that you agree on the other points I have made.

Yeah, only an idiot would disagree that this should've been fixed before they all left on vacation but it's clear the issue may be more complicated on their end than it may seem to us. I couldn't play this game at all the first few days because of the crashes. I've since used PoEUncrasher ever since it was released and haven't crashed once. I'm now on 150 hours played.

Nevermore would I ask anyone who sees this message to give a positive review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam.

bump

Still no fix.... GGG shame on you!

Anyone still experiencing this issue, go into your Task Manager>Processes and Set the Affinity of PathOfExile to NOT use CPU 0 and CPU 1. This will allow your PC to have enough resources leftover if PoE Freezes to close the game or cause it to crash the program instead of your OS.

I have been doing this for 1 week and have had 0 hard OS freezes requiring a restart.

You have to do this every time that you start the game. You can add args into steam launch to always launch with the affinity set to this but don't ask me how.

It's amazing to me that people do this manually each time instead of just using PoEUncrasher which does it for you automatically.

It's amazing to me that people dont think downloading some random exe from github and using it on a live service game isnt a recipe for getting permanently banned

it might be fine but unless the developers specifically say it is OK to use youre just asking for trouble

It isn't a recipe for getting banned, why would it be?
The only thing it does is change the process affinity, which you can do manually.
If your argument is that it may be doing something else, the program is open source, you can check the source and compile yourself.
That said, I don't use it, I just set affinity manually. But I see no problems in using something like that.

And there's no need to "ask developers". GGG has no say in you choosing which cores in your processor you want to use in the game.

Ive tried POEUncrasher - Still hard locked my computer (had to reset)

Ive tried disabling cores between loading screens - Still freezes the game on almost every map loading screen (doesn't hard lock the pc, but game is unplayable due to constant crashing and restarting)

Ive tried disabling all other processes except POE2 - Still hard locked my computer (had to reset)

I was on the verge of reverting back to 23H2 windows 11 update, but due to seeing people on the 23H2 windows 11 version still having issues with pc hard locks, I decided not to revert back.

I shouldn't have to spend hours of my time troubleshooting my computer, and my windows, and my specs because the game is horribly coded and is faulty. At this point, its not a game I am even attempting to play anymore. I really should be requesting a refund on Steam, but $30 is just not worth the effort for me.
