Game freezes constantly

My game just freezes randomly for 5-10secs, then black screen with loading animation (gears), and then it comes to normal. I am not kicked from game during freezes, the game just pauzes for freeze duration, but still its hard to play with that. I have readed on some threads, that this is how game crashes without closing and then restarting. I already have tried to change renderer to Vulcan, but it just crushes game with closing instead. Have no ideas, what problem it can be. Before league start, updated Nvidia driver, bc was asked to. Never had this issue in prev leagues.

I have the same exact issue, had it last league too but not before that.

[D3D12] Device Removed. Reason: 0x887a0006

This is the error that corresponds with the freezes. I have tried different driver versions and no luck.

Oh thank the heavens I finally found someone with the same issue!

I have pretty much ran out of ideas to try on my part, so I need some more data on the subject to maybe progress this somewhere.

Couple things i'd like to ask you if you can answer:

- GPU (including amount of VRAM)
- CPU
- Resolution you're running the game on
- Operating system
- did you play PoE 2 and did this also happen there?
- DX11/12 or Vulkan?

In my case these are:

- GTX 1080 Ti
- Ryzen 5 7600X
- 1080p
- windows 11
- ran into this first time in PoE 2, my guess is something got updated from there to PoE 1 and this started happening around last league.
- DX12
