POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

infinite loop since yesterday

tryed dx12,vulcan no change, disabled multi treading going from 60 fps to 10-20 fps so not playable at all :S

all was fine before patch 0.11g so what next to try ????

ryzen 7 5800x
rx 6800xt

Infinite loading screen since the last patch. never occured before. Stuck in Dreadnaugth. Char is lost in time lol.

Hope they fix this quickly...

Apparently I've made it to the NVIDIA problems camp, and cannot play the game anymore. Hopefully, the fix Jonathan mentions in the recent announcement stream will fix this however it hasn't stopped me from trying a variety of different workarounds people have tried.

Client.txt error everytime I try to reload

2025/03/30 09:33:59 4896046 93b1b556 [CRIT Client 2780] [RENDER] Shader uses incorrect vertex layout (shader: 0x00000018 mesh: 0x00000008)

So far I've researched and tried many different things without success.

- PoeUncrasher

- Windows compatibility to Win8 on the executable

- Disabling overlays (Steam, NVIDIA)

- Changing graphics settings in POE2 (DX12, Vulcan, DX11)

- Disabling multi-threading option in POE2

- Removing CPU0/1 from the affinity

- Running BES and reducing the CPU -15%

- Running older NVIDIA drivers (back from Nov, Dec, etc. - Jonathan mentions this in the stream, and it doesn't seem to fix it for me which is troublesome)

- Updating BIOS and chipset (MAG Tomahawk B650 in my case)

- Ran file validation on POE2 file through Steam

Still cannot get the game running for more than 30 minutes at a time. Anything I haven't tried? Let me know.

*** No, I have not tried downgrading from 24H2 to 23H2 ... yet ***

rtx 3090
9900kf
Still having issues with stuttering, high cpu usage, freezes and infinite loadings.
When will you fix this?

Nvidia and others are being uncooperative based on the last dev interview:

This will at least accelerate the process.

Did anyone try going back to an older NVidia driver and did that fix it?

So, checking back after playing for several weeks without a single crash.

So, it looks like its it is fixed for me. Thats awesome. Also, the game just runs much much smother than before. They have done a lot to increase performance over time while this was going on.

Overall, im quite happy with how the game runs right now. There is still the occasional, drop to 50 fps, but they are far apart.

They mentioned the 24h2 freeze during the QnA. They said they have done improvements to the code so that the crash simply don't happen to most ppl anymore.

They still don't know what causes the freeze though.

Can you drop the link please.

I stopped tracking the situation knowing it's VERY difficulty to fix but it's interesting to check their thoughts about that. Also I'm not surprised they implemented workaround and not actual fix. At least it helps in some way. But it means the problem still presists and may appear in the future for some users / some configurations.
