PC Freeze - Needs hard reset only :(

Game is unplayable for me at the moment.
The game freezes after a few minutes and i get it unstuck only with hard reset.

Same with many people like this thread in reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1h8d4to/freezingcrashing_computer/?sort=new

I'll wait for 1st major patch with fixes and try again.

My PC Specs:
- CPU 7800X3D
- G.Skill Trident Neo 32GBs/6000Mhz
- Mobo MSI Tomahawk
- GPU 3070 RTX
- OS Win11-24H2

People report that they resolve the issue if they roll back the latest windows update to 23H2 or if they select DirectX-11.
I switched to Dx-11 and played now for almost an hour wityh no freeze. I will update if anything new happens.
i checked every reddit/forum post and its about 5800x3d and newer version of these cpus... including 7800xd etc
This is your issue. If you can't roll back, you'll need to clean-install Windows 10, install all your apps, and then upgrade to Windows 11.

DO NOT PUSH THE UPGRADE YOURSELF TO 24H2. LET WINDOWS HANDLE THIS.

I seemed to have resolved the issue by turning off multithreading in graphics options, the game doesnt run as smoothly (which you would expect) but it is allowing me to play the game with no PC freezes. I run on 7800X3xd.

Changing to Dx12/ Dx11 or Vulkan with multithreading on I was still getting crashes.
doesnt run as smoothly means 20-30 fps instead of 150 on max 4k. lol
