POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen
" You think that after 500+ pages of replies in this thread and 400+ in the other, something as simple as changing the renderer fixes the issue? With that said. Vulcan is indeed better and you should use it regardless. |

Just your daily reminder here that GGG sucks and that I wasted 60 euros on a broken game that I haven't been able to play properly since the 1st week after launch.
FIX YOUR GAME GGG and give me my money back. |

If you still have crashes in PoE2 and you're under Windows 10, the problem is elsewhere and looking at temperatures and testing the PSU is the first things you should do. This game drains a lot of power so if you have an old PSU or have a 500-600w PSU with a recent CPU and GPU, it probably won't do and will degrade. Also if you have an RTX 5080, update your drivers as the first release was buggy and caused crashes.

I don’t think that’s the issue. I have an XPG 650W PSU, which is more than enough for my setup, a 3060 12GB and a Ryzen 5600X. Never had this problem with any game, including POE2. Played over 600 hours without any freezes, but since Monday, it’s been impossible. The game just locks up my entire PC, and I even stopped playing this week. Pretty sure it’s not a hardware issue, just speaking from my experience.

" It's not a product. It's early access, otherwise known as an alpha/beta. Where your money went is in to a type of crowdsourcing to help develop the game fully. You can't sue because the law presumes you read the EULA and knew that, especially for a game that's F2P later this year. |

ok big post coming here, I posted in the other big thread here about how I somehow completely fixed my crashes, I was crashing all the time mostly on load screens but now I played 4 days straight without a single crash at all, I will try send my dxdiag.txt to the Timothy_GGG guy who asked in start of this thread as well, because I am not sure exactly what step fixed crashes for me but maybe it can help :S
anyway my specs : 7800x3d cpu rtx 4060 ti gpu 2x16gb ddr5 6000 ram 1tb nvme disk win11 23h2 with all updates+cumulative 23h2 update (avoiding 24h2 for now to be safe) nvidia driver 572.47 here is links to my two previous posts and the steps I took: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-post/25987661 https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-post/25988985 it was maybe not even one of my bios changes but possibly clearing shader cache and installing the ryzen chipset drivers, or a combination! not sure but what I can say is no crashes now for many many hours of gaming over last 3-4 days, and before it would crash all the time mostly on load screens, never 30 minutes with out a crash for example, if anyone with similar system as me still is crashing can try basically: download the latest amd ryzen chipset drivers from the amd website, (the installer will check current compnent versions, I had some not installed/out of date) remove any manual overclock/core behavior settings for the cpu in your bios,(even if other games work perfectly), enable SMT/hyperthreading if you currently have it disabled in bios as well, set "CPPC" to "Driver" or similar option if possible, this might be worded slightly differently on other motherboard BIOS, (CPPC thing not sure if that is relevant to be honest, but in combination with the ryzen chipset drivers in theory it should be better than default/letting windows handle core scheduling) if on win11, then use windows 11 23h2 version with all the latest cumulative updates for that specific version, force block update to 24h2 if you have to (I had to, but not sure if 24h2 would work fine for me now, just to be on safe side) clear all shader cache(both dx12 and vulkan shader cache to be safe)+cache from both the game itself and windows own shader cache, windows shader cache/directx cache you can clean fast from running start -> disk cleanup, and the poe2 cache if using standalone version like me I think is here: C:\Users\*YOURUSERNAMEHERE*\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile 2 and then just delete the ShaderCacheD3D12 and ShaderCacheVulkan folders there might need to enable show hidden files in windows explorer if you cant see the appdata folder, not sure ! so maybe a lot of these steps are unnecessary but what I can say is that one or a combination of these steps I did completely fix my crashes, now 4 days straight not 1 single crash even on load screen, game settings is vulkan renderer, 1920x1080p windowed fullscreen, no image scaling, adaptive vsync on, dynamic resolution and all similar stuff disabled, engine multithreading enabled, rest of settings dont matter much I think, so if someone wanna copy settings or something try look at those posts or something and I will now also send my dxdiag to GGG and maybe it helps maybe not, good luck!

Dude, the thing that fixed your crashes was most probably the change to win 11 23H2, the rest of your actions are most probably doing shit to fix this.
I did the same thing, went through all hardware/driver/os/software tests possible, tried optimizing/automating process cores affinity, etc, some alleviated the issue but did not fix it - THE ONLY THING THAT FIXED IT, was to make a new partition, install win11 23H2, blocked all updates and VOILA - no more crashes... The fault is somewhere between Microsoft/AMD/GGG and probably that's why we don't see any fix - Microsoft is the most to blame here for sure. I also tested it by reinstalling from scratch fresh 24H2 with all updates and the issue occurs again. Fyi I'm on 5800x3D with a 4080 " |
