Exile 2 PC Woes Vanquished: Solutions Unveiled

Troubleshooting Path of Exile 2 PC Freezes

Grinding Gear Games' Path of Exile 2, a Diablo-like action RPG, has been plagued by some PC freezing issues for certain players. These freezes often necessitate a hard reboot. While an official patch is awaited, several workarounds can mitigate the problem.

Initial Troubleshooting Steps:

Several in-game settings adjustments may resolve the issue:

  • Switch to Vulkan or DirectX 11 rendering API at launch.
  • Disable V-Sync in the graphics options.
  • Deactivate Multithreading in the graphics settings.

Advanced Solution (Requires Manual Steps):

If the above steps fail, Steam user svzanghi offers a more involved solution that avoids complete system reboots:

  1. Start Path of Exile 2.
  2. Open your PC's Task Manager and select the "Details" tab.
  3. Right-click on the POE2.exe process.
  4. Choose "Set Affinity."
  5. Uncheck the boxes for CPU 0 and CPU 1.

This prevents a complete freeze, allowing you to close Path of Exile 2 through the Task Manager and relaunch without a full system restart. However, this workaround must be repeated each time you start the game. Continued freezing may still require a PC reboot.
