[POE2] Shockchain Crashing my game + parties too

Shockchain on Mercenary/WtichHunter is doing extreme harm to my game and other's games when it hits a large group of shocked enemies. the game will freeze for a few minutes and boot me back to the main menu. it also sets me back maybe 5ish minutes, sometimes even before bosses as well. No amount of graphics fiddling fixed this for me, so I hope it could be fixed soon!
