i am having the same issue with the system freeze. 7800x3d here. I really dont get how this isnt fixed already, ive seen tons of people who cant even play because of this issue. hopefully theres an official fix soon.
The Windows 24h2 update was causing the issues for me. I got around it by disabling multithreading but then i was left with terrible frames. I restored my windows to 23h2 and that solved all my problems in poe 2 Specs -7800x3D -3080 -32gb ram
@@rabidjester8642 yeah i wont be reinstalling windows just for this game. lol ive got plenty of backlog to play til they fix this. if not i'll just refund it. I just feel bad for all the ppl who cant even launch it because of the issue and cant play at all. I see they havent even mentioned it in the latest patch notes and are going on holidays now. kind of annoying tbh
It's a pain in the ass, but there is a way to play to prevent it from freezing your PC ever again. Keep in mind, I have literally tried everything. I've used BES, I've rolled back windows updates, I've limited cores, switched to Vulkan, edited recommend settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel, everything. Some suggested methods will make the freeze occur less, but only temporarily. This is the ONLY thing that worked for me and that has been working for days. Before you load into a zone go into the in-game settings and turn off Engine Multithreading. It will kill your FPS, but when you load in the zone, pop Engine Multithreading back on, and voila, FPS restored. Keep in mind, to prevent freezing you will have to do this prior and after every loading screen. It's not ideal by any means, but it's the only 100% solution as it currently stands.
For context, the thread on GGG’s forum on crashes is over 180 pages long in just a week. There is ONE response acknowledging the issue. No timeline, no “we are working on it”, nothing. There’s at least 3 other threads on top of that.
I thought I was bugging yesterday after I purchased the game, it's a total bummer and feels like I just wasted my money so I'm not playing this until it's fixed by the developers.
I had the same problem... sometimes my game worked for 10 hours straight and all of a sudden it keeps crashing 3-4 times in a row. Every single time i had to turn my pc off manually. I wouldnt say this methode is the ONE you need that your game doesnt crash anymore.. but as he says in video it helps in the way the only the game crashes and not your whole pc. So for that I can say this helped me a lot! Thanks and greetings from DE
holy hell this was a fix. I have had so many crashes everytime I play poe2, did this fix and 3 mins into game get a crash but only crashes the game. thanks boss for the vid.
Just here to throw my hat in the enormous ring that is this embarrassing problem for POE2. I can’t even load the game anymore without my entire system crashing. One time I had to re seat my entire graphics card just for my pc to recognize it after a crash. I’m too scared to launch the game
It's annoying that it still crashes, but it's nice that I don't have to hard reboot my PC every 15 minutes. I got a few blue screens because of how much I had to hard reboot, I honestly don't understand how this made it to a public version of the game. Quite pathetic on the developer's side.
It's great that turning off those cores on the processor helped me, yesterday the game didn't crash or freeze even once, thanks for the help. Too bad this can't be fixed on the PS5, my friend's game crashed about 20 times yesterday
Bonjour je suis aussi impacte par ce freeze d'écran , alors j'ai fait la manip de la vidéo. Mon jeux Freeze quand même , mais sa me Bug plus le pc. donc quand le jeux freeze un coup de gestionnaire de tâches et reboot jeux.
I managed to do this via Task Manager in admin mode (Go to the Windows Start menu, type Task Manager, right-click it, and select 'Run as Administrator'). Then, in Task Manager, go to the Details tab (located below 'Users' and above 'Services'), find the Path of Exile process, right-click on it, and adjust the priority. You don’t need tools like Process Lasso for this. Additionally, in the game itself, switching to Vulkan seems to help, and enabling NVIDIA Reflex in-game also appears to make things run smoother-at least, that’s how it feels for me.
Alot of people in the in game chat are saying if you have this issue to revert your in game graphics settings to default and if that doesnt work to reinstall gpu drivers. Buddy had this issue all week and just reverted his in game graphics settings to default and hasnt crashed all night!
The issue didn't get fixed for me. Yes windows didn't crash but it took a while for me to even be able to do anything with my PC. Maybe this is a fix for people who still wanna play and not brick there pc. But it's next to unplayable when this happens everytime you load in to the game. It is crazy that this game can even be released as an early access with this issue
This works amazing for me. Thank you! / Just had it happen and only crashed the game after downloading lasso and turning off the two cores for POE2. Saving my new PC's hardware!!! TY
ISSUE: Switched to directX11 (bricked) FIX: Start POE2, control alt del (task manager), right click POE2, set affinity, untick 1 or 2 cores. (as mentioned in video) OUTCOME: instead of inability to get to a menu (stalling / bricked), the game recovers - gain access to options
Okay, but keep in mind, the game still may lead to the freeze, because vulnerability is not fixed yet. NVIDIA promised to fix it in the upcomming January driver package.
I don't know if that's a real fix, but i often encountered crashes when using the town portal. I could fix that by not instantly clicking it as soon as it's finished forming.
I’m having an issue (on pc through steam) where my game will just crash/backout to desktop every time I try to move between locations BUT ONLY IF I’m using my controller as input. The game never crashes if I’m using M&K. I know this is a slightly different problem but please let me know if someone finds a fix, I can’t find anyone talking about this same issue.
Thanks for the tip. It helped me keeping my desktop alive, at the very least. But playing the game is a big no, no. Just tried getting to play the game but can't get through the main menu into a map.... Just crashes none-stop. That's it for the game for now then, I guess. Annoying but hopefully next year they have some kind of patch to fix it
@@FusionGaming101 Yesterday after I downloaded this software, I played for 10hr. straight without a single issue, which is really good considering I got 74hrs. in total.
I tried this CPUs affinity off 2 cores, but there si a problem. When i close freeze game, then i open it again game freeze imediatly after logging into the game. Only solution iis restart PC and then it's working fine for some time. Restart PC is necessary.
I'm not crashing but I am having major fps and stutter issues. Tried about every "fix" out there with no luck. Game gets unplayable when mobs are spawning in late game maps.
Same thing with the about 50 times hard resetting here xD I was really hoping this patch fixed it so I didnt have to do something like this. Though im sure the 7800x3D will be fine.
thanks a lot. its unbelivable that this issue isn't addressed yet. it so common its rediculous. But this workaround seems to prevent the system from freezing totally.
it seems to effect different CPUS differently, because i have a i7 10700k and i just had it happen for the first time after like almost 150 hours of playing and hasent happened since. and when did it happen i just sat there for like 3 minutes and the game automatically closed eventually.
Tried it, had some big hopes that would finally fix the Issue, yea.. Started PoE, checked out CPU 0 & 1 like in the Video, and right after i selected my Char, the Game & PC freezed, so its not really helping :D
Damn, it`s 2024 and the last time I saw such a bad gaming performance was in Last Epoch. Stopped playing it after 1 hard week. Now with Poe2 it`s the same. With my hardware I can play anything in ultra settings, but in Poe2 the game stutters and crashes every 30 min. It`s unplayable and since days I try to fix it. And now my whole wifi is broken and does not work well. I have the feeling that a virus is on my Pc now and slowing down everything. It`s a shame, such a good game and this bad performance. No excuses for that. I will try your advice but I`m really pissed. Edit: I tried yesterday, did as you described it. Logged in and after 5 sec it crashed again hahaha this was the fastest crash so far. Anyway, we all have our own individual pc set up and problems. Good luck all to you mates
I dont have the pc lock up where i need to restart the computer, but it freezes and the game exits probably once every 20 to 30 minutes. It's extraordinarily annoying. Far more upsetting that ggg has basically not addressed it though. Insane that a company like this can't even come out and say "we are aware of this game breaking issue and we are working on it". The only response to the problem was basically blaming windows 11. Guess what? I have played about 20 other games on my pc over the past couple weeks and not one of them crashes. Some people will say "well, it's early access". Exactly. This is when game breaking bugs get fixed and the company acknowledges them.
Yeah this is better than doing it in taskmanager. It shows all 8 cores instead of just 4 and you can save it so you don't have to do it every time you restart the game
You dont need any program to disable cpu cores, you can do it from task manager, i did it but it still crashes, best option for me was to uncheck enable multithread ingame.
The thing is that its doing this also in helldivers 2 for me. Everything is good in Marvel Rivals but PoE2 and helldivers 2 CPU goes from say like 25% BAAAAAM up to 100% on loading screen and crash the game and PC. it is something with 24H2 windows update that have some corrupted files mby? starting the get pissed of at this shit
roling back to windows 23h is a none sense NO other game does that on 24h windows. GGG need to stop playing with useless nerf for now and work for real on the game itself... geez this situation is pathetic
@@thedaeron3877 They have other issues that cause crashes, but some of the major ones happening now are caused by windows. It's not an argument and is a fact that rolling back to 23h2 can fix a lot of problems for people that are suffering seemingly random crashes after updating to 24h2. (For those looking for more information, you can look into multithreading issues on 24h2.)
we shouldnt half to be pro IT players or computer geniuses to play a simple game. Havn't to download files changes core adjust computer setting etc etc should not be a "US" issue to resolves and find work arounds to be able to play a basic ARPG. I play games with much greater requirements to play the games and have zero crash or issue with those games. ALL the people who scream its "Early access what you expect" are the real problem because they arn't pushing problems to get GGG's attention to get the game working properly they are just brushing it off as EA blah blah. Yes it's early access BUT this is a critical game functionality that HAS to be fixed above all priority's to even be able to play the game properly.
The higher end pcs seem to be experiencing the crashes. The older pcs seem to be working just fine 🙂. Guess pcs have gotten to technical for the windows programmers 🤷
Yea it help me, Can use Ctrl+Alt+Del and end game and start over, No more need to turn of power. I find other place on the web. To add this to steam apps poe 2 properties --> general --> Launch options -noasync -nologo -waitforpreload Still need to turn of 2 Cpu. Have help with my crash for 4-5 hours now and zero crash. So have to wait and see if it fix the problem 100% like it say on the web. Kindly.
its probably 24H2 windows version that have some corrupted files that fk everything up. i would like to rollback to 23H2 but i can't cuz i just built my PC and microsoft refuse to add a fking button to rollback anytime. FUCKING PATHETIC
the disable of 2 Cpu cores is a small fix for crashing, but tbh.. GGG needs to look over how their program code is generating maps/loading into maps, cause it only happens for me when loading in and out of maps, so it shouldnt be Super hard to diagnose what the issue is... but the game is still so new they havnt optimized it for anything yet and people screaming left and right for buff/nerfs of skill/classes spreading their focus out to less concerning matters.
@@-MohammedElSyed- You say that, but yet, not many other games are crashing like that... Wonder why... cant just blame it on Microsoft for screwing up their patch, cause there is alot of other games that was not impacted by it in such a way it hardcrashes your PC
Did you test all those thousands of thousands 3D programms to make such statement? I didn't. But what exactly I know, if user-space program hangs your entire rig, the problem lays WAY deeper than you can even imagine. On the ring 0 level or even below. Basically it mean any malware can do the same with your PC if the author of the malware decides to. The vulnerability should be fixed by the OS / KMS / UEFI devs.
Bruh, it made it muuuuch worse. 7800x3d CPU --- It froze my pc as soon as the game started. You can set it manually through task manager as well, you don't need to install that crap*
Why are they releasing the game with this going on anyway? I have played it twice and both times it's crashed / ruin like shit. I paid £25 for the game not for a broken piece of shit.
You can also download bes cpu limiter and limit it to 5% and it won’t crash anymore at all as the reason it crashes is because it pushes your cpu to the limit. It will also make it so your cpu doesn’t get really hot
this isnt really a fix . the problem on there in an they should fix it . the problem inline with the windows update . an the game . same thing happen happen with all other games that have this problem. the main problem is it on the lower end of there to do list
I'm gomnna tell ya , that shit will fuck up badly my gaming laptop. Really hope Nvidia will fix these constant crashes with new drivers. BTW as the game is excelent, the optimization is one of the worst i ever seen. I know is just e EA game , but WTF ..
why do i have to go thru all this trouble just to play a game? F this, fix this mess of a game, imma wait till its fixed cause this is absurd. I have other games that are optimized correctly that ill play in the meantime till this trash gets sorted out.
what specs do you run? I got 9800 x3d with 2070 super ddr5 MSI 870 tomahawk. Does not crash on as often on DX11 than 12 definetly cant run vulkan. Not sure what else to do. Horrible game play on dx11 but managing
Thats not a Fix thats a solution pls change the name of the Video its very misleading if you dont want to change something on your cpu software (the cores of your cpu) your wrong here sry
This is not an issue with Path of exile but a windows issue. I used to play the game Once human and it ran fine for 2 months. I did my windows update and ever since ive had this PC freezing issue in that game, Also some other games including path of exile 2. The issue is basically when you load things in games its pushing your CPU to max load to load things quickest as possible. The windows update has made it so games are using all your cores and CPU to load things in game leaving no CPU to run your windows so windows crashes and when windows crashes the PC freezes and you have to force restart it. Windows is not supposed to allow games and apps to use all of your CPU. Windows is supposed to take priority over anything else so the games crash first always before your operating system but a windows update has made it so that is no longer the case and windows isnt being prioritized for your CPU. Also this issue is effecting AMD cpu's not Intel from what it seems majority of people are saying. The people who normally say they never crash or are on Intel and the people saying they are crashing are normally AMD.
You dont need to download a program to do this you can just go to your Task Manger - Details - Right Click - Set affinity

It's not an argument and is a fact that rolling back to 23h2 can fix a lot of problems for people that are suffering seemingly random crashes after updating to 24h2. (For those looking for more information, you can look into multithreading issues on 24h2.)
My PC's been freezing these past few days too. See if this works. :)
What is the performance hit by doing this?
Nothing for me
bought the game today, I have a 7800x3d and a 4080. Launched it for the first time and it froze my entire PC. Fastest refund I've ever done
Your system is still vulnerable to the freeze.
Ye that's what I had 50 times before I did this change
Interesting... I had this issue with Diablo 4 when Vessel of Hatred launched, but not with Path of Exile 2...
Didn't work for me. 5600X + RTX 3070.
Sadge
Doesn't work for me... still happening
Shame
@@FusionGaming101 I tried switching from DX12 to Vulkan (someone suggested it in a command here), and so far, I haven't experienced any crashes.
@@Jab7kO Are you getting longer loading times with Vulkan or its just me ?
@@kristianbolcs a bit i think
we shouldnt half to be pro IT players or computer geniuses to play a simple game. Havn't to download files changes core adjust computer setting etc etc should not be a "US" issue to resolves and find work arounds to be able to play a basic ARPG. I play games with much greater requirements to play the games and have zero crash or issue with those games. ALL the people who scream its "Early access what you expect" are the real problem because they arn't pushing problems to get GGG's attention to get the game working properly they are just brushing it off as EA blah blah. Yes it's early access BUT this is a critical game functionality that HAS to be fixed above all priority's to even be able to play the game properly.
i just hard pc crashed for the 999 time, searched YT, done this (fix) ill be back in 24Hr to share my results
so affinity needs to be changed everytime i log into the game
No you make sure you put in on CPU Affinity & ALWAYS, then its set for life!
you can do this with normal task manager
Just do a Clean install windows 11 23h2 and get rid of 24h2. this solves the crashing problems.
Still crash today😢
Because there is no fix. Wait till NVIDIA fix their KMSs
Hello, my PC AMD Ryzen 5 2400G RAM 8GB, SSD 256GB, can I play this game? Please answer, thank you
it should but might crash
It seems the higher end pcs are experiencing the crash issues.
The older pcs seem to be working just fine 🙂
The higher end pcs seem to be experiencing the crashes. The older pcs seem to be working just fine 🙂.
Guess pcs have gotten to technical for the windows programmers 🤷
Yea it help me, Can use Ctrl+Alt+Del and end game and start over, No more need to turn of power.
I find other place on the web.
To add this to steam apps poe 2 properties --> general --> Launch options
-noasync -nologo -waitforpreload
Still need to turn of 2 Cpu.
Have help with my crash for 4-5 hours now and zero crash.
So have to wait and see if it fix the problem 100% like it say on the web.
Kindly.
You can just set cpu affinity on task manager processes anyway
This must be done before each launch of the game, unlike in Process Lasso
@@alllk that’s good to know
This only works for some. This does not work for me.
The game is consuming too much CPU and GPU both at 80%-100% usage and this can corrupt files and in some cases cpu can overheating....this is crazy!
its probably 24H2 windows version that have some corrupted files that fk everything up. i would like to rollback to 23H2 but i can't cuz i just built my PC and microsoft refuse to add a fking button to rollback anytime. FUCKING PATHETIC
Esto es mejor que nada asi que muchas gracias!
yeah i have same issue i just gave up on the game until its fixed
This has been an issue for months with POE1. I wouldn't expect a GGG fix any time soon.
nobody is disabling cores
the disable of 2 Cpu cores is a small fix for crashing, but tbh.. GGG needs to look over how their program code is generating maps/loading into maps, cause it only happens for me when loading in and out of maps, so it shouldnt be Super hard to diagnose what the issue is... but the game is still so new they havnt optimized it for anything yet and people screaming left and right for buff/nerfs of skill/classes spreading their focus out to less concerning matters.
Not GGG fault
@@-MohammedElSyed- You say that, but yet, not many other games are crashing like that... Wonder why... cant just blame it on Microsoft for screwing up their patch, cause there is alot of other games that was not impacted by it in such a way it hardcrashes your PC
Did you test all those thousands of thousands 3D programms to make such statement? I didn't. But what exactly I know, if user-space program hangs your entire rig, the problem lays WAY deeper than you can even imagine. On the ring 0 level or even below. Basically it mean any malware can do the same with your PC if the author of the malware decides to. The vulnerability should be fixed by the OS / KMS / UEFI devs.
I bought a new computer thinking it was my machine. but its also freezing my new computer.
one was intel i5 and the new one AMD.
@@joebrown5183 same lol . Crashed them both on most load screens 😭
Try this method and keep me updated
@@joebrown5183it is an amd issue, i run an older intel cpu and no issues.
THANK YOU
Bruh, it made it muuuuch worse. 7800x3d CPU --- It froze my pc as soon as the game started. You can set it manually through task manager as well, you don't need to install that crap*
Just do that then.
Yeah same, restarting pc up to 50 times a week sounds about right 😆 Let's see if this is helping thanks
Did it work?
@@FusionGaming101 Sofar everything is stable. Usually crashed one or two times a day but today it has been awfull.
@ChAzR89 awful? Worse?
@@FusionGaming101 Yeah for some reason today was as bad as release night (before I changed cpu core affinity).
Nothing like trying to make someone's fucking game work on your PC after paying for it..
thank you very much, atleast we can terminate the process now 🙂
Why are they releasing the game with this going on anyway? I have played it twice and both times it's crashed / ruin like shit. I paid £25 for the game not for a broken piece of shit.
Because it's not game related issue.
You can also download bes cpu limiter and limit it to 5% and it won’t crash anymore at all as the reason it crashes is because it pushes your cpu to the limit. It will also make it so your cpu doesn’t get really hot
Yep I am sure there are multiple ways to do it. But ye good advice
Liniting the CPU didnt work for me.
@HerrSuess weird
Still crashes
@@oliverlawsum-tossum7172 you can try putting it up to 10 or 15 and see but 5 worked for me
Just started having this problem
Gonna try it and then comment back for feedback
Just do this in task manager please.
that would be so frustrating
this isnt really a fix . the problem on there in an they should fix it . the problem inline with the windows update . an the game . same thing happen happen with all other games that have this problem.
the main problem is it on the lower end of there to do list
Didn't crash my PC just closes the game & back into desktop, no error report nothing. It's like if you press Alt F4 in game hahaha.
I'm gomnna tell ya , that shit will fuck up badly my gaming laptop.
Really hope Nvidia will fix these constant crashes with new drivers.
BTW as the game is excelent, the optimization is one of the worst i ever seen.
I know is just e EA game , but WTF ..
why do i have to go thru all this trouble just to play a game? F this, fix this mess of a game, imma wait till its fixed cause this is absurd. I have other games that are optimized correctly that ill play in the meantime till this trash gets sorted out.
Because other games don't use some capabilities of your nv driver
Blame your video card manufacturer or OS, or someone who has access to your ring 0.
the game crashed my pc so often it killed my setup. PSU, GPU and cooler all fried
did not fix it for me 9800x3d
what specs do you run? I got 9800 x3d with 2070 super ddr5 MSI 870 tomahawk. Does not crash on as often on DX11 than 12 definetly cant run vulkan. Not sure what else to do. Horrible game play on dx11 but managing
Thats not a Fix thats a solution pls change the name of the Video its very misleading if you dont want to change something on your cpu software (the cores of your cpu) your wrong here sry
Yep, misleading
Simplemente no jugaré más el juego hasta que se soluciones me jodera la pc nueva…
lucido
@ lucicio lucido si, pero no gvon jajajajajaj
I found switching from DX12 to Vulkan solved all my crashing issues. AMD / 4070 RTX
i'll try that vulkan thing.
I tried that didn't fix for me
It did not work for me.
@Vaultdorr what switching the dx12 ro vulkan
@@FusionGaming101 Yeah, I have the crashes with Vulkan also.
This is not an issue with Path of exile but a windows issue. I used to play the game Once human and it ran fine for 2 months. I did my windows update and ever since ive had this PC freezing issue in that game, Also some other games including path of exile 2. The issue is basically when you load things in games its pushing your CPU to max load to load things quickest as possible. The windows update has made it so games are using all your cores and CPU to load things in game leaving no CPU to run your windows so windows crashes and when windows crashes the PC freezes and you have to force restart it. Windows is not supposed to allow games and apps to use all of your CPU. Windows is supposed to take priority over anything else so the games crash first always before your operating system but a windows update has made it so that is no longer the case and windows isnt being prioritized for your CPU.
Also this issue is effecting AMD cpu's not Intel from what it seems majority of people are saying. The people who normally say they never crash or are on Intel and the people saying they are crashing are normally AMD.
this is a POE issue. dont exonerate them from this. they're supposed to make it compatible to every version of windows, not the other way round.
You are wrong on the last part. I have an Intel i7 9700k and have this issue. Maybe more on AMD but it definitely happens on Intel as well.
@@GoGetMarked
No PoE issue. You have no clue what you're talking about.
games burning my gpu up - i can smell it burning, only during poe. games shit from the floor up.
It happened 8 times in 2 days.
