POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

i read all post since begining and no real solution (else we all know how to play safe :D )
bad optimisation is since poe1 few month before poe2 EA launch

so just put bad review on steam and wait, since last interview its the only real impact that GGG teams take care

but the siad the truth too, that debugin their instance crash is easier than player crash

but question :p
how about all DXDIAG we send? GGG you could buy 1 or 2 hadware config and play ur game to debug it

ibeetween end december - juanary before some patchs playing with poeuncrasher was ok
but they said microsoft and nvidia prob but linux player and AMD card crashing too so ...

I tried 1 time after this season release and i still crashed with a pc lock.
This weekend i tried it another time because i read that some of the people in this thread didnt have the issue anymore.

And now i was able to play without a crash. (10 hours played)
No stutters anymore also, not even when using a portal.

Nothing changed on my side, nvidia driver is still on the 18th march driver and im still on the win 11 24h2 update.
No apps to park core, no changes to my ingame settings.(directx).

So no idea why it suddenly works, but it does.

(Ryzen 7700x - 4070 - 32g ram - win 11 - 1440p highest settings with dlss graphics mode - no frame gen.) Steady 144fps while levelling.

freeze happen again,

came back after 4 months, i played for 2 days no crash so far and game runs better than before, in some areas there are drop fps and input lag but it doesnt freeze my pc anymore.

Today I had problems with the game: The screen went black and I had to restart. I tried disabling the overlay and switching to Vulkan, but to no avail. The gameplay itself is fun; however, the programmers seem incapable of delivering a stable product. What good is a great game if it keeps crashing? A waste of time! Maybe I should delete everything and forget about this company.

this is not fixed regardless of what the dev posted on this thread. this is the ONLY game that taxes my cpu like this. Going to town, loading zones and certain monsters just send the cpu to 100%. It is rediculous. its been months!! I have a feeling it has something to do with shaders from what I have read. I already sent my dxdiag in December so dont ask again....

Issue still persists. CPU reaches 95-100c when loading into maps and randomly during maps for 5-10 seconds for no apparent reason, leading to freezes and annoying hick-ups. I've never seen my CPU above 80c in Riva Tuner on any other game EVER, even in very demanding UE5 games like Once Human and other ARPGs like Last Epoch or Diablo 4.

Tried lowering the settings, undervolted my CPU by 50mV, turned of my CPU 0 core, tried Vulkan and DX11, cleared my cache, no changes. My CPU runs up to 100c in those situations even if I cap my fps and my CPU is only at about 40% usage, which tells me it's definitely an issue with the game.

I love the game, but I will not play it as long as it's actively frying my hardware.

After taking a break from the game for the past few months, I have returned. At first crashes after every minute of starting the game with a new character. Even two freezes. I didn't give up. I did a reinstall of Poe2, then updated everything and now also after a couple of GGG patches - zero freezes and crashes. Not after a few hours of play but after a week and less than 40 hours.
I can finally enjoy the gameplay.
Thank you GGG!

Edit.
Now a little more about problems. I'm lvl 59 and so some hours behind me. Not a single freeze. Maybe 2-3 crashes. Instead of freezes, the creators introduced the 'gear' solution. - It is enough to do nothing, so that in a moment the game 'returned' to the state before the freeze. No core blocking needed. The rest of the problems are mainly server problems.
Thank you GGG!

After so long without freeze I had one just now.

After months without a freeze, just had one. Crashed my entire PC. Overall, the state of the game is terrible.
