Still Crashing After Dawn of the Hunt – Nothing Works (Controller / 2060 Super)

I’m crashing non-stop after the Dawn of the Hunt update, even just standing in town or in the caravan doing nothing. I’ve tried everything and haven’t been able to play since the patch dropped. Crashes happen in less than 5 minutes, often while idle or even typing in chat.

My setup:
• GPU: NVIDIA 2060 Super
• Input: Controller (Xbox)
• Renderer tried: DX12 / Vulkan / DX11
• Game mode: Standard / no map zones involved

What I’ve already done (none of this fixed it):
✓ Switched between Vulkan, DX12, DX11
✓ Disabled NVIDIA Reflex
✓ Removed all MTX
✓ Launched with Steam flags: --noasync --renderer DirectX11 --nologo
✓ Turned off multithreading
✓ Changed CPU affinity to skip CPU 0/1
✓ Restarted system, router, Steam, etc.
✓ Waited all day before relaunching—still crashes in town
✓ Deleted and regenerated poe2_production_Config.ini
✓ Sent email to support

I’m seeing multiple streamers play 10+ hours straight without a single crash. I’ve watched my own game crash while idle. At this point, I’m locked out of the game while others are fine.

Please—if anyone has a controller + 2060 Super setup and got past this, let me know what worked. If there’s a server-side issue, I just want to know it’s acknowledged.

This is my prime time to play and it’s been completely lost.
