Troubleshooting Path of Exile 2 PC Freezes

Grinding Gear Games' Path of Exile 2, a Diablo-like action RPG, has encountered freezing issues for some players. These freezes necessitate a hard reboot. While a developer fix is pending, several workarounds exist:

Initial Troubleshooting Steps:

Graphics API: Experiment with changing the graphics API between Vulkan and DirectX 11.
V-Sync: Disable V-Sync in the game's graphics settings.
Multithreading: Deactivate multithreading in the graphics settings.

Advanced Solution (Courtesy of Steam user svzanghi):

If the above steps fail, this workaround allows for a less disruptive game restart instead of a full PC reboot:

Launch the game.
Open Task Manager: Access Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc). Click "Details."
Adjust Affinity: Right-click on POE2.exe. Select "Set Affinity."
Disable Cores: Uncheck the boxes for CPU 0 and CPU 1.

This method doesn't eliminate freezes entirely, but enables you to force-quit the game via Task Manager, restarting it without a full system restart. The downside is that this process must be repeated each time you launch Path of Exile 2. Further freezes will still require a PC reboot.
