POE2 Win11 24H2 Crashes - Constant crashing, >100% CPU usage, and more

As soon as it first started happening shortly after the 24h2 I have never played it since. Built brand new rig every zone would hard freeze into complete power off.. cycle wasn’t worth it after 5-10.. had a sour taste about this game after that experience. Will come back when it’s fixed on all sides. Really disappointed with the lack of communication, I get it it’s the holiday new year is right around the corner but I don’t think people need like full daily updates but it would be nice to have GGG start to explain what’s going on what they are seeing and the roadmap for what to expect bad or good. Stay safe everyone!

Just started getting the crashes after getting into end game. During the acts, no prob, but now I've crashed 3 times in a row after maps. Seemed to get worse after the newest Win update. Always in loading screen.

I'm experiencing constant lock-ups, sometimes three times in a row. The temporary fixes are ineffective—DX11 causes the game to chug, reverting Windows has no impact, and disabling cores 0 and 1 doesn’t prevent the game from freezing. Based on what I’ve read, this seems to be an issue with Intel processors.

Specs:

- i7-9700K
- ROG E-Gaming motherboard
- RTX 3060 OC TI
- 32GB RAM
- Game installed on an NVMe

When the game doesn’t freeze, I get a smooth 150+ FPS with no lag or stuttering. However, when it does freeze—usually when going back to town or changing locations (loading screens)—my CPU usage spikes to 100%, the FPS drops to 23, and the PC locks up completely, requiring a full reboot.

Please FIX this!

Have a laptop that is on 23h2 almost identical specs AND 0 CRASHES
24h2 on main pc crashes almost every other zone, gonna install 23h2 and hopefully it fixes it

To anyone have this crash, i too used to have this too, i use win 11 with 24h2 update, tried to roll back to 23h2 but it only let me tab out so i dont need to hard reset my pc. try everythings like reinstall window, game, setting ect, no work.
At the end i copy some needed files to usb and hard reinstall win 11 ( here i mean format all ssd and fresh install) and install without internet ( you can search google for how to do it when it ask you to connect internet), update and install all driver, nvidia app, then install game again, and SUPRISE i didnt get freeze anymore (there is still sometimes it freeze but when i tab out and wait 1-2s and back to game, it running again)
It still have some bug like sometimes when afk too long and tab out wo browser, it logout me to login screen, or even worst - it auto shut down game. But still, not freeze is good enough for me

why make a new thread there are two huge ones already with GGG reply on them..
