HCSSF Level 78 Witch Death Due to glitch

First time posting.

Put 21 hours into HCSSF witch. Got her to level 78. During that journey i've had situations where the spinning cogs appear, screen goes black, game seems to freeze but it usually comes back. Never been a big issue. Being an infernalist, the minions tended to give me protection. It's not an internet issue as my other connects are fine.

Today this happens while I'm in the middle of an abyss fight, game it comes back, i click ESC to pause the game so i can work out what to do and the fight continues. It's a black screen, i can see the health bars of the mobs but i can't do anything.

It's all over in a few seconds and I'm dead.

I've loved this game from it's release but this is a death blow for me. If there is a good chance that something like this can kill me, how can i trust it wont happen again. To get to level 78 you have to be careful and patient and I was.

I know there is a warning at the beginning of the game saying death in HC cannot be reversed but is that set in stone. What other experiences have people had?

I have the same issue screen goes black then the spinning wheel most times I come back and the worse thing is I've lost the fog of war.

That is all the areas I've explored are gone - its like I haven't been there.

However if I'm in a breach etc I'm dead.

This has been happening since the beginning of POE2 patch 1.0 and happens several times a day.

Interesting. I've only started seeing it in 0.3.

HC is a self-inflicted mental prison that you're free to leave at any time.

for me this happens on DX12

Played all the leagues now. Anything other than HCSSF is unsatisfying. Of All my HC deaths this was one of the few I just shook my head. Wasn't my fault like the rest. Guess like all other deaths, learn and if it happens again shut the game down. And then hope....

Fortunately I'm sane enough to not play hardcore characters, but I'm experiencing the same bug which once lead to my death as well. Issue here is if you wait for game to come back, screen remains black for few more seconds when game is already on-going and you don't see what is happening and where are you, etc. It is an easy death in many cases. It is much safer to let it crash, restart the client and then game will remain in paused state as long as you not perform any action. Just don't do anything until screen will show up and you will be fine!
btw. I though in 0.3.1 those crashes eventually got fixed, but unfortunately not it seems
