BUG Frequent 20-30 Game Freeze + map reset (multiple players affected).

I was chasing an issue related to FPS degradation (thread here - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3842642/page/2) that I thought got an interesting reply from Nvidia when I ran into this exact issue.

I posted this somewhere else, as well as sending in a support request to GGG and Nvidia. From Nvidia side they're chasing the GPU boost clock exceeding specs (I think it's a red herring but I'm waiting for feedback from the laptop Mfg), but the client.txt output it seems to be like the engine stops recognizing the GPU and it needs to restart it.

I'm unsure if this is solely related to Nvidia, the laptop 4070 or if it's a general game engine issue across all gpu's and API's. I've only experienced this in DX12, I've not tried Vulkan. And despite the GPU boost issue mentioned by Nvidia, I've not experienced this kind of crashes on ANY OTHER GAME - even when setting them to Ultra+++ settings.

Here's the other thread where I reported this: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3836453

I've now downgraded to 571.88 using Nvidia's procedure for driver deletion and reinstall, and while it looked like the issue went away, I was able to reproduce the issue (activating a breach triggered the soft-crash). So it's definitely not driver related, but something to do with the game engine's handling of DX12. My next step will be to swap to the latest Nvidia driver and switch from DX12 to Vulkan, and verify if the issue still happens with that API.

Same issue as this thread https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3839584/page/1#p26371827

Just tried some hours running 576.88 and Vulkan API and no cog of death issues. Performance is lower than DX12 yes, but no freezing at all.
