Hard crashing PC locks up
" This is just a basic Scandisk / Checkdisc command that looks for bad OS files or bad disk sectors and repairs them automatically based on the most recent hash image of your OS. It doesn't necessarily point to any issues caused by POE2 specifically. It's mostly just a standard maintenance check/fixer. If your PC crashes a lot like many people's here has as a result of playing POE2, you might want to run this to repair any corrupt files caused by the crashes themselves. It won't stop the causes of the crashes though. Windows 11 24H2 (Steam), AMD 5800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB, 32BG DDR4 3200, Samsung 980 Pro SSD

" You must not be experiencing crashes. This is unprecedented for a game launch. No game I’ve ever seen in 30 years has ever had a worse launch for this group of ppl who get their pc hard crashed. |

Hmmmmmmm........
I saw a small "shader pre-caching update" downloading to POE2 on Steam this evening. Could it in fact be the shader cache that's messing everything up for our PCs? Is this a possible fix? Or unrelated? ![]() Windows 11 24H2 (Steam), AMD 5800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB, 32BG DDR4 3200, Samsung 980 Pro SSD Zuletzt bearbeitet von Stormscourge#2254 um 13.12.2024, 18:19:44

Good idea to put something up on utube about this issue. Maybe clue in sites like Maxroll?

Guys I discovered a very strange thing, whenever you change your windows power plan while you're in game the FPS increases A LOT like for me it increases at least 60-70 fps and it even breaks NVIDIA fps lock, has anyone encountered this?

This PC locking freeze happened randomly to me throughout my game playing sessions, but never consistently until I got through The Traitor's Passage in Act 2. Once I hit that map transition to the Halani Wall, it's been consistently crashing for me. I try to log back in and select my character, and the loading screen will do the hard freeze. I've tried 7 times to log in with my character, and it will freeze every time now.

Same issue, Windows 24H2, can keep mouse control, but PC doesn't respond to any input and have to hard reset.

" This is unrelated, these are pushed by steam, pre-caching update is just a way of steam to share compatible shaders (think operating system version, driver, game version) that someone else built while playing with other users. That way you don't need to build these shaders yourself and saves some of the async shader compilation stutter games do have. That helps far more in devices like Steam Deck, but it is available everywhere. |
