Turning HAGS Off on wihdows fix the loading screen crash

Disabling hardware gpu scheduling in windows graphics settings solves the problem

I can play without any issues now. Before turning HAGS off, i was unable to play because the game keep's crashing every loading screen

No crashes after disabling HAGS


How to do it?

To disable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) on Windows, you can do the following:
Right-click the Start button and select Settings
Select System
Select the Display tab
Scroll down and click Graphics settings
Locate and toggle off the switch for Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling
Restart your computer to apply the changes
HAGS can cause performance issues and failures with OBS and hardware encoders. Disabling HAGS can help avoid stability issues

Try this now and thank me later. Was the only solution that worked here!

As an unrelated note. I hate river HAGS in the game. One of my least favorite enemies in the game.

"Though this feature debuted with Windows 10 May 2020 Update, it still comes disabled in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Also, your computer needs to have an NVIDIA (GTX 10-series and later) or AMD (5600 series or later) graphics card with the latest graphics driver."

Apparently, HAGS is turned off by default. I just checked and it's off here since I never went into that screen before. I only crashed once in POE2, but it was with the portal hang bug that hopefully got fixed. I haven't played much since the GPU/CPU is slammed the entire time and seems dangerous on my gaming laptop.

Mine was on. I really hope this works. I have crashed 5 times today and its starting to worry me.

Thanks for finding this.

Hey, thank you for sharing this, and maybe this will solve some issues for players like myself who have never heard of HAGS. I learned something today.
