POE2loadingPainFix

Path of Exile 2, CPU Limiting, to prevent PC full freeze while loaging maps

If you found your way here, this is what you get here:

<ul> <li>while loading a level in Path of Exile 2, your PC freezes complete</li> <li>only a hard reset is working</li> <li>you used other tools to limit the CPU while loading a level in POE2, but its anoying to set affinity (what logical processors are used by POE2) or CPU limiting like <a href="https://mion.yosei.fi/BES/">BES – Battle Encoder Shirasé</a> manually </li> </ul>

Currently there is no patch from the game, or windows. It occures on Amd ***X3D, Windows 11 24H2, and some other constellations

This will slow down the thread, and the CPU usage. You can affect the duration of run and pause with the trackbars to set less or high cpu usage in this way. (take a look at the signal image)

Technical background: There are several different "OpenThread-Versions". I tried implementing all of BES, but im not sure that i done them all right (BES is written in c++). I will try to compile and run BES theese days and check if the limits are equal with this app. Currently on my system only the main-thread is possible to be opend of POE2. But this seems to be enougth to get no hard freezes. The graphs and Label will show you how many threads POE2 have, how many are active, and how many could be limited.

<br> <H1>Bugs/Exceptions</H1> If you get and Exception, or find any issue, please report them. It is very helpfull if you include the report from the exception dialog: <img src="https://github.com/CrimsonED1/POE2loadingPainFix/blob/main/README_Sources/images/exception_dialog.png?raw=true"> <br> <h3>other functions will be explained later, but i hope they are self explaining</h3>
