Is there any proof of this or just hearsay?

You can check both threads for actual reports.

You can also use basic electrical and computer engineering knowledge (which I have provided, but am sure you can find by yourself in online resources, in libraries, or ask ChatGPT if you don't want to bother)

Even if the entire development team is on vacation, the support team can put up an information or apology message instead of removing people's posts.

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

Done.

I think many who have left a negative review thus far intend to change it once these and related issues are fixed.

It is mind boggling why GGG haven't intervened ahead of this issue. Good will goes a long way.

good-faith software used by a good-faith user having a problem where it uses a System API in a way it should not be used.

Oh really? Is that your concept? There is NO "good-faith software" and "good-faith user" in terms of security and stability. This is the reason why the user mode applications limited in their rights despite being "good" (or "trustful") and the using root or Administrator accounts are very bad practice and not recommended. Every single application is a potential bugfest which may lead to system crash and / or data corruption. We already passed these times with MS DOS, Windows 1/2/3/95/97/98(SE)/ME.

That topic was about detecting hardware damage. You said to people who were concerned about hardware damage to use chkdsk /f.

I corrected you:
1)chkdsk /f does not check for hardware damage.
2)chkdsk /r does check for some of the hardware damage.
3)If one has a SSD and not a HDD (most people in year 2024) then using that SSD's SMART software is better for checking hardware damage.

As I already told - you can't read. I'm not even talking about understanding, but you literally can't use your eyes. I suggested to use chkdsk /f ... read letter by letter... NOT TO FIX PHYSICAL DAMAGE, BUT TO FIX LOGICAL FS ERRORS like your Windows ALREADY does if dirty bit set on. It happens each time the system didn't finish CACHED WRITES and the data was lost, for example in sudden power loss or BSOD. You can fix dirty bit manually using fsutils. Nothing less, nothing more. It has nothing to hardware damage. If you UNSURE that the dirty bit was set properly or your Task Scheduler didn't complete boot-up tasks you can initiate the check manually by using chkdsk /f or autochk by setting the dirty bit on. In 99.99% cases your OS does it AUTOMATICALLY without your interaction, because it is STANDARD PROTOCOL from the Microsoft. If you have actual hardware damage, using chkdsk is bad idea in general, neither /f, nor /r

1)NVIDIA drivers cannot fix the bug on PCs with AMD GPU.
2)The bug NVIDIA refers to is not this problem. The problem they are fixing is another crash. The game is a crash-fest.

1) I know. This is the reason why I DID ask the AMD users to make some research and find information on the ATI / AMD forums. Oh wait, you can't read.
2) NVIDIA Representative (pidge2k) created new thread inherited from the user's one (xploid) with the question about PoE 2 crash, not Ubisoft's issues (m_w_h). I suppose you never used Reddit before.

Why are you so obsessed with Blizzard and not Square Enix?
When Ubisoft encountered a crashing problem like this they kept on communicating despite the fact that the problem was on Windows' side.

I don't give a crap about Blizzard and the other ones, but assumption that GGG paid me or other users (like IT guys above) to "deflect" this shit is complete and utter nonsense and delusional. The only thing that I can agree with you is that GGG should interact with their playerbase and help to fix the issue by interracting with the industry (Microsoft, driver / firmware writers, etc.). I already told why it is happened and I have some information that I cannot post here becuse it will break GGG rules 100%, but I can provide it privately. As nobody PMed me, so people don't care. Sure, babycrying on forums is the "our" way, indeed.

ou deny the fact that NVIDIA acknowledged the problem and promised to address it in upcomming driver package.

One point, does NVIDIA write drivers for AMD? or I don't understand something

You're understanding correctly. And it is good question. So we have to expect some fix for AMD users from... AMD. Everyone who have access to the ring 0 level are potentially responsible for this issue.

BUMP

Dear journal,
2032, still full system crash on loading screen.

So, PoEUncrasher (v1.3) active, Win Game Mode off, System/Graphics to Performance in Windows for pathofexilesteam.exe/pathofexile_x64steam.exe and limiting FPS to 100 ingame seems to help.
System/Graphics to Performance setting also fixed NVIDIA APP recognising PoE2 properly. No more PoE2 crashing.

Ahahaha, still saying its fault of windows 20 hvk version XD...

How long we will have to suffer this + plus forcing to shut down all the time PC i dont think that it is healthy for PC hardware, its almost 3 weeks and nothing, hello there POE2 Team are you doing something 3 weeks ....... nothing

I struggled with that issue too, always had to do a complete shutdown and start pc again. But strangely after i installed a Nvidia hotfix drivers(566.45) it fixed the game for me, meaning no crashes/lockups anymore.

just get it fixed already. ppl quiting just bcs of this stupid problem, how can u have experience over a decade and still make this kind of problem, u cost us time and bad experience because of this stupid freeze
