Regular crashes/freezes

Since around beginning of the year I'm experiencing anoying problem when every 30 minutes or something like that game crashes/freezes? Is unresponsive for around 20s and then I can continue. Possibly reloading GPU drivers or something?

Hello,

Ryzen 7800 x3d
32 GB DDR5
Windows 11

sorry but don't execpt your config could be change :/
try an other char with less graphic effect (i saw someone with +500h with no crash and he change character and got crash all time)

they is some tips (cache delete, desactivate some nvidia options) or run poeuncrasher or somthing like this

in resume the code is bad opti all other games working on your comp so its just poe2 :/

they closed this, so you not alone, tons of players waiting they fix something
but no amelioration since begin EA

... maybe a day :/
Are you using DX12? If yes, try switching to Vulkan. That solved it for me.
I tried that but when I use Vulkan the game stutters or something, runs much worse in general.
