Temporary ''Fix'' for POE 2 Loading Screen Freezes
I've been troubleshooting PC freezes during loading screens, which seem to be caused by the Windows 11 24H2 update (most likely on AMD CPUs). Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Use BES (Battle Encoder Shirasé) CPU Limiter Following a suggestion, I’m using BES to limit POE 2's CPU usage to 95% (Target -5%). Download link: https://mion.yosei.fi/BES/ - VERY simple set up So far, I’ve tested it by teleporting across several waypoints, and I haven’t experienced any freezes. It seems to effectively prevent the CPU from maxing out at 100% during loading screens. 2. Revert to Windows 23H2 If possible, roll back to the 23H2 version of Windows. Report back if these solutions ''resolve'' the problem. Hopefully, Microsoft will release a patch soon to address this.

It kinda works so far. But do i have to keep targeting it every relog of the game?

I found a temporary but luxurious fix that works for me to resolve the freezing issue on the loading screen. The solution involves uninstalling PoE2 from the main disk (where Windows is installed) and reinstalling it on another disk. This simple change has made a significant difference in that it no longer craches due to loading.
P.S. I have 2 NVMe drives which really help, and I understand that it's not the case of the majority. |

BES seemed to work well the first day I used it, but the following day it stopped working and I've had several freezes during loading that require a hard shutdown. I tried it at 3% at first and moved up to 5% after the first couple freezes.
