GAME CRASHING NONSTOP FOR WINDOWS 11 PRO 23H2

Hello! As the title states, this post is for everyone who is experiencing gamebreaking crashes on windows 23h2. There is a lot of attention being brought to the crashes on 24h2, but 23h2 people are also experiencing game breaking crashes, specifically on loading screens.

I have been completely unable to play the game at all because of this. Day 1 release I was able to sneak in a few hours between crashes but now the game will rarely load in after character selection. My specs are as follows:

Intel i9 13th gen
RTX 4090
64 GB RAM
Windows 11 pro 24h2

Many people with similar specs are having the same issues as seen in some other crashing on loading screens posts. I also heard that a similar issue was present in POE and looks like has carried over from POE 2. It will be an incredible dissapointment if this is somehow not fixable, as windows 11 is going to be the main windows version people are using since in 2025 they plan on making people do the switch over from windows 10. PLEASE fix the game so the windows 11 people can actually play the game that they paid for.

I have been having constant crashes as well. It happens when either trying to load the game, or at the menu, or after clicking login, or when i finally load to a map. It crashes.

I have tried all the fixes I could find: Vulkan, Direct X whatever, Graphic settings, and more. Nothing works. This is the only game crashing on me. Im convinced its on GGG's end.

I7 12900
4070 Super
32GB DDR5
Win 11

Please fix ASAP.

Thank you.

I've been having the same issue, and this is just me trying to play PoE, not even touching the new one. And it's the only game on my comp that does this crap. I certainly hope they get it fixed soon.

Right now PoE2 hard freezes during loading screens, this has been happening occasionally since dec 7 and is now almost always making the game unplayable and damaging your hardware.
The computer hard freezes and force you to manually reset the machine. CPU usage and Temp goes 100ºC and 100% usage when you go into loading screens that start stuttering the grind animations and your mouse slowly till they no longer move and your hardware go crazy.

The only """"""""solutions"""""""" soo far are disabling multithrading and facing 30/40 fps loss everytime you teleport, go back to the old windows update which cant be done to new machines nor is advisable to do so for a single game and WILL BE FORCED TO UPDATE EVENTUALLY REGARDLESS and manually disabling by task manager core 0 and 1 EVERYTIME you log into the game.

Do report the game on the flag icon at the steam store page, scroll down and flag it because the game isnt playable.

182 pages of bug report since Dec 7 and no update nor bug fixes has been done since then.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3594471
156 pages, same issues

Many do report hardware damage and loss in these threads.

Many other threads and complains about the same issues over 600/700 pages on the official forums and aside saying "yo we know" no update nor solution has been done in a spawn of 2 weeks.

EA games are in their right to have bugs and other issues but in no way shape and form they are allowed to simple be unplayable and even cause damage to your machine.
