How to Fix Path of Exile 2 Freezing PC Issues
Troubleshooting Path of Exile 2 PC Freezing Issues
Grinding Gear Games' Path of Exile 2, a Diablo-like action RPG, has proven popular, but some players experience game freezes requiring hard restarts. While an official patch is awaited, several workarounds can mitigate this problem.
Initial Troubleshooting Steps:
Several in-game settings adjustments may resolve freezing:
- Graphics API: Switch between Vulkan and DirectX 11.
- V-Sync: Disable V-Sync in the graphics options.
- Multithreading: Disable multithreading in the graphics settings.
Advanced Solution (Requires Manual Steps):
If the above steps fail, a more involved method, suggested by Steam user svzanghi, offers a workaround:
- Launch the game.
- Open Task Manager: Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Click "Details."
- Adjust CPU Affinity: Right-click on
POE2.exe. Select "Set Affinity." - Disable Cores: Uncheck the boxes for CPU 0 and CPU 1.
This prevents complete system freezes, allowing you to force-quit Path of Exile 2 via Task Manager and relaunch without a full PC reboot. However, this process must be repeated each time you start the game.
