POE 2 0.3.0b patch crashing high end pc's

Tried most of the fixes here nothing works. Not gonna change to vulcan since its "SHIT AND I HATE IT :)"
GGG Response plz!

Hello they close 2 subject about hard crash before the 3 days open beta
since beta a lots a players come again here and post every where
but after beta they add a working line about crash and bad opti (more 1 year after :D)

plz add information + send them dxdiag + dont give up and wait like lot of ppl
add log they added an argument steam to activate a log(but works only for desktop crash)

its clearly a bad opti poe1 run very well on my pc and 3-4 month before poe2 Early they patch poe1 and it was crashing already (to desktop only for me but i never had before)


but yes plz GGG make a clear information about your corrections of crash
since E.A begin there is like 50+ instance and game crash its really not reassuring

I am pretty sure it's something to do with a combination of:

1. 581.29 nvidia driver
2. 24H2 Windows 11 update
3. poe2 3.0.3c patch

Most likely all of the above don't play nicely with each other.

As Arxok2501#6704 mentioned

Hyper threading

I too crash in each map at least once

but the moment I off Hyper, everything was good.

As of 14 Sep 25, no crashes, no spinning gears

My settings are all set to high, Nvidia DLSS, DLAA
all set to HIGH
vsync off
dx 12

just only Hyper is off.

and I am now enjoying the game.

Same issue others are reporting - constant crashes - screen turns black for a few seconds to a minute and then cogs and then hope i'm not dead.

It’s happening every 30 minutes.
Killing the fun for me.

you can rule out driver because its the exact same on AMD also

For me disabling hyperthreading seems to have stopped the freezing and hard lockups.

No crashes since I made the change a few hours ago. Touch wood.

Over 10 years of playing poe and this is the first time I've crashed multiple times per hour on top of the game's fps issues.

I'm on 23h2 and its still crapping out.

I thought that the new Nvidia driver update released on 9/10 had fixed my constant game freezes and crashes/lock-ups. But no, as of yesterday, started crashing once or twice per map, sometimes 5 or 6 times in one hour (the driver update seemed to have fix it for like 2 days as I all of a sudden had barely any crashes in 14 hours of game time). So, I thought this was a driver issue for NVidia but it appears not (there was an Nvidia driver update on 8/30 the day after poe2 patch 0.3 came out, and my crashes started around that time on day 2 or 3).

I just tried turning OFF Hyper Threading in the BIOS, as others in the forum here have had some success with turning off this setting. We'll see how this goes. Good luck to all.

Tried so many things but still get bad stuttering and freezes often. Did not have such bad issues previous patches.
