Has the Hard crash / system freeze Bug been fixed for the ?
For reference I've played PoE1 for 6058 hours and PoE2 for 447 hours (from launch). I have not been able to play for months because by computer died from this bug.
I had the hard crash / system freeze bug the entire time playing PoE2. Every time it happened it would totally lock up my computer. It was causing me to have to hard reset my computer (holding the powering button down to restart the computer)... this would then lead to blue screen of death in a loop several times (10-20+) to fix the corrupted files. I saw that people suggested going into Task Manager and remove CPU0/CPU1 from the process affinity for the PoE2 executable. This worked 95% of the time giving me an opportunity to play for the 400 hours... but it would still lock up on occasion and I would have to go through the hell of blue screen of death 10-20 times. (There was an error dialog box when the affinity method worked and I could kill the game process... but that screen capture is on the dead computer) Then it eventually happened despite the affinity work around, and so much was corrupted that the system was dead (It wouldn't even let me wipe the drive and reinstall windows or anything... the system is bricked) So I bought a gaming notebook ($3K) to replace that tower ($6K)... but have been too afraid to play PoE 1 or 2. PoE is my favorite game... I am honestly just curious if the bug is fixed yet so that I can play the game again. Is it fixed already, or is it fixed in 0.2.0? Note: I am aware of "PoE Loading Screen Crash Fixer" but my system died using this method... so it would still worry me. Last bumped on Mar 22, 2025, 9:04:45 PM
