game crashing on windows 24h2 fixed

So, I spent my whole day yesterday on this, tested it as much as I could, and I think I found the solution to the crashing problem. I won’t be mentioning the workaround of disabling CPUs, as that is something many people have already suggested. I tested different scenarios on various PC configurations, and two scenarios kept recurring.

GameInput service
Just uninstall this one. On some systems, this service throws a lot of errors during gameplay in POE2. Once you uninstall it, the game works as it should.

Windows Pagefile
The pagefile is essentially virtual RAM stored on the disk. If you have multiple drives, and POE2 is installed on one while the OS is on another, there’s a chance that the pagefile is enabled only on the OS drive.

For some reason, POE stores many shaders and data in this virtual memory, but on the drive that isn’t the one where POE is installed. Enabling the pagefile for the drive where POE is installed fixed the high CPU and GPU throttling issues.


Happy if this helps someone or helps with the fix :)
