BUG Frequent 20-30 Game Freeze + map reset (multiple players affected).

UPDATE - I am royally F**KED

Just reinstalled my game and it is STILL frozen on game launch. Please, anyway help!!? Is there any game Game Launch Option that can force it to Direct X12 mode? This could be the end of POE2 for me cause I can't even get it to start...

Update

Found the poe2_production_config.ini file. Manage to change the renderer back to DirectX12. So, at least I can get back into the game.

Now, if only we get some fix for this freeze + map reset issue.

New patch still crashes.

+1 Was hoping 0.3.1 solve the issue but still persist every 10 min cog wheels reset

I've actually stopped getting the issue altogether since 0.3c - DirectX12 performance now feels a bit lower than Vulkan, but I've stopped jumping around with it.

For Nvidia users, clean install the driver of choice (I'm on 581.29), delete the shader caches of the game, perhaps clear the minimap folder as well for good measure, then have a go again - this helped me and the detailed procedure is on a separate thread (might link later - ed: link https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3842642/page/2#p26342004).

Severe FPS issues in Path of Exile 2 on high-end PC
Dear developers,
I would like to report a serious performance issue that I'm experiencing only with Path of Exile 2. Despite running the game on a high-end system, the framerate is locked at 20 FPS, making the game nearly unplayable.
System specifications:
• CPU: Intel Core i9 9900K
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
• RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
• Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI
• Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit
• GPU drivers: Latest version installed
• BIOS: Updated to the latest version
The issue persists across all areas of the game, even with graphics settings set to the lowest and resolution reduced. Framerate stays locked at 20 FPS at all times, with no improvement regardless of configuration.
I have tested the game both on the Steam version and the standalone version, and the problem occurs in both.
I've noticed that the forums have many players reporting similar issues, so I hope this message can help bring attention to this problem and support efforts to find a solution.
I would also like to point out that this issue occurs only in Path of Exile 2. Other games and applications run smoothly and deliver performance consistent with the hardware.
I'm available to provide logs, screenshots, or any other technical details that might help identify the issue.
Thank you for your attention and for your work on the game.
