POE Freeze PC -> Hard reset

Yes. Poe is causing all the problems with the computer.
I have more demanding games that don't cause any problems.
That's why I don't play anymore until a new patch is released.

Can anyone experiencing the crashes, clear all game cache, and report back if that helped or not.

Also please give the graphics driver number you are using.

This thread seems to have more attention, I reported this back in the beginning of the year.

Yes did this. did a comlete wipe of POE from my system, Installed on another ssd I have, Still crashing

Been playing D4 | Starfield | Destiny and tried Warzone all full tilt not 1 glitch. I cant play POE for more than 10-15 minutes without a CTD or a complete lock up. Sent an email to GGG they responsed:

Unfortunately we are not currently offering email Technical Support, due to limited staff resources. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Just to confirm it's the same issue I have: whole pc slows down to like one frame per three seconds, with the cursor moving around normally. Doesn't matter game intensity: it happens in city, in combat, in Heist with or without combat.

Only hard reset helps (tried once to kill PoE through Task manager, did it but PC was still practicly frozen, ike CPU was working on 1%).

Thought it was about overheeting GPU and tried PoE with/without limiting GPU Power/Temperature (through MSI afterburner): no change, PC freeze haappened approx once per 1.5h

This started to happen about 1 week ago (probably after patch 3.22.1d Hotfix 3 and/or driver update to NVIDIA 545.84 or is it 31.0.15.4584 of 2023.10.11. as it shows in device manager)

PC specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
16 GB RAM
Windows 11 Pro
RTX 3080

I have not done anything (no reisntalls)- anybody has any idea what to do?

Anyone experiencing this issue, do you use any launch options for the shortcut of the game?

Right Click -> Properties
Target:
Try using: --waitforpreload --noasync

Ex:

"

"D:\Path of Exile\PathOfExile.exe" --waitforpreload --noasync
