Despite its allure, some players have encountered frustrating freezing issues on their PCs. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to address and potentially fix these freezing problems in *Path of Exile 2*.

What to Do If Path of Exile 2 Is Freezing Your PC

If you're among the players experiencing your PC freezing completely or struggling to load into new areas in *Path of Exile 2*, there are several troubleshooting methods you can try while awaiting an official patch from the developers. Here are the steps:

• Switch to Vulkan or DirectX 11 (Dx11) at startup.
• Turn off V-Sync in the game's graphics settings.
• Disable Multithreading in the graphics settings.

If these adjustments don't resolve the issue, a more involved solution provided by Steam user svzanghi may help. Here's the detailed process:

1. Launch *Path of Exile 2*.
2. Open the Task Manager on your PC and navigate to the Details tab.
3. Right-click on the POE2.exe file, then select "Set Affinity."
4. Uncheck the boxes for CPU 0 and CPU 1.

While this method might not prevent all freezing, it allows you to quickly force quit the game via Task Manager and relaunch it, avoiding the need for a full system reboot. This can save you considerable time and hassle.

The downside is that you'll need to repeat this process each time you start the game. If you skip this step, you might encounter freezing issues again, necessitating a PC restart.
