Game freeze with map reset

Bug Report ID: #87031794

As title, game occasionally freezes completely for 10-15 seconds, then once it becomes responsive again it seems to redo/reload shaders and the map/minimap is reset. Checkpoint and mechanic indicators are still visible. Haven't been able to pinpoint a cause, will investigate further with hardware monitoring.

same here...

i saw this on the last patch notes:

In order to work around a common crash that was occuring on nVidia hardware with recent drivers the game can now recover from "Device Removed" events. When this occurs the game will display a loading screen (and pause) while it attempts to recover. This only applies for this specific type of client crash, not all client crashes.

so it's not a poe2 problem but more like a nvidia driver problem?
& i couldn't find anything on internet.

but its weird i did not have crashes before 0.2

the reload thing happens all the time however oO
worst is after minimap is fog of war again ;D

bump, getting same exact issue as OP. Trying to look for a fix.

OS: Windows 10 22H2 19045.5608

Same issue, didn't get it before 0.2.0 but do have Nvidia

I'm having this issue as well, accompanied with CPU utilization spikes. Sometimes the entire system hangs for 2-10 seconds. Sometimes game crashes with it, but not always. System freezes happen even when the game is paused/in town and minimized. I have tried everything i can but nothing has affected it. Tweaking settings, new nvidia drivers, disabling CPU 0 etc.

I was using the recommended NVIDIA drivers from last December that didn't supposedly have any issues so i doubt it's a driver issue. I also updated them and was still having the issue.

I had zero issues like this before the 0.2 patch and now the game is nearly unplayable because these CPU spikes are happening every 1 to 5mins. I'm kinda scared that this could be causing some damage to my cpu because of the constant spiking, so i hope GGG responds to this quickly.

Specs:
Windows 11 24H2 (26100.3476) <- haven't tried to rolling back to previous version
CPU: i5-8600K
GPU: 1060 6gb
RAM: 16gb

Yes very old system, but last patch it was working very fine with 50 fps boosted to 120 with frame gen from lossless scaling software(and no that's not the problem, i have tried with and without). Building a new setup this year when i have the time.

+1 - Really sucks, but if it truly is nvidia issue, we all better get used to living with it being like this

This happens to me too. Seems like the game is going to crash. Then I get the loading cogs on the screen, and I recover but then the map is unrevealed. Checkpoints are still functional, but I have to rediscover everything. 3080ti with latest Nvidia drivers.

I have exactly the same problem...
