Severe Issues with Path of Exile 2: Crashes and Stuttering

Hello,

I want to report the significant issues I’ve been facing with Path of Exile 2, which have rendered the game nearly unplayable. My experience so far has been frustrating and disappointing, and I’m posting here in the hopes that these critical problems will finally be acknowledged and addressed by the development team.

Issues:
Loading Screen Freezes: The game frequently gets stuck on loading screens, forcing me to restart just to continue playing (if possible because crashing happens mainly on loading screens).
Constant Stuttering: While my ping is stable at around ~40ms and there’s no noticeable lag, the stuttering is persistent and disruptive, making gameplay frustrating.
PC Crashes: The most severe issue is hard crashes that completely freeze my system, requiring a manual hard reset by physically turning off my device. This is not acceptable.

System Specifications:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: RTX 4070 Super
RAM: 32GB DDR5
Storage: 2TB SSD
Cooling: Not experiencing any overheating issues
Ping: ~40ms
Game Settings: All settings are on default, with no manual adjustments

OMG I must be the luckiest guy in the world. I have basically this same setup and I am having the same problem. Thing is that it started recently and I see this post is from last year.

Any word on when they are going to fix this?
