Game stuck at "Checking Resources"
|
I went out of town for a few days, came back last night. Was able to play PoE for a little while. Then I watched a movie. (Million ways to die in the west. It was pretty blah, don't waste your time with it.) Shut down the computer, and went to bed.
Now it's the next morning, and PoE is unable to get past the "checking resources" loading bar. I've let it sit there for about 15 minutes (Far longer than any check resource phase has ever taken), and it just goes nowhere. I've tried restarting the computer multiple times, and I've tried running as administrator just to see if it made any difference. Anyone have any possible solutions? I am hesitant to delete and re-install since the checking resources phase is the first thing it's going to do when I try that, and that's what I'm currently having the issue with.

So there are a couple things to try and then post the results of to help you.
1) delete the ShaderCache folder in your Path of Exile folder. 2) delete the Client.txt file in the logs folder for Path of Exile. If you ARE using Steam: just attempt to verify the cache/installation for Path of Exile and then see if it will work properly. If you are NOT using Steam: download and run the ggpk_defragment application linked in the Consolidated Technical sticky post as administrator (right-click and select "Run as Administrator"). Once that is done, locate the PackCheck.exe file in the Path of Exile folder and right-click on it and select "Run as Administrator". Once that is done, right-click PathOfExile.exe and run that as administrator as well. If it still stalls on "Checking Resources" for more than 10 or 15 minutes, open up the Client.txt log file and post the details of that patching attempt. If it is a lot of text, please put it inside of a Spoiler tag to keep the thread clean. Good luck. | |

I ran a pack check while waiting, and sometime between when I started it and when I read your message, it simply closed itself down. Not entirely sure what to make of that.
I've deleted the file and folder and am currently running it again. Not using steam, just for the record. IGN: OldManSyndrome or _OldManSyndrome_

Well, you're going to download the entire thing now.
For future reference, you should save deleting/re-installing as an absolute LAST resort. It takes a long time and it costs GGG quite a bit of money because of the bandwidth usage. It is recommended to attempt to "fix" it via the method I outlined first. If that doesn't work, then re-installing is the last choice... but there are things we can try to correct the problem first before it gets to that point. I'm guessing the ggpk defrag would have likely fixed the issue which caused the packcheck to fail out. Good luck. | |

I mean I deleted the shadercashe/client log stuff.
This is what the client log says: 2014/09/12 11:00:12 ***** LOG FILE OPENING ***** 2014/09/12 11:00:12 45952453 14b [INFO Client 1616] Send protocol version 2014/09/12 11:00:12 45952546 1b5 [INFO Client 1616] Web root: http://patchcdn.pathofexile.com/1.2.2.3/ 2014/09/12 11:00:12 45952546 1b6 [INFO Client 1616] Backup Web root: http://patch132.pathofexile.com:8095/patch/1.2.2.3/ 2014/09/12 11:00:12 45952546 1c1 [INFO Client 1616] Requesting root contents 1 2014/09/12 11:00:12 45952640 1e9 [INFO Client 1616] Got file list for "" 0 2014/09/12 11:00:12 45952640 22f [INFO Client 1616] Queue file to download: patch_notes.rtf 2014/09/12 11:00:12 45952640 221 [INFO Client 1616] Requesting folder Data 1 2014/09/12 11:00:12 45952640 22f [INFO Client 1616] Queue file to download: PathOfExile.exe 2014/09/12 11:00:13 45952843 1e9 [INFO Client 1616] Got file list for "Data" 1 2014/09/12 11:00:13 45952843 22f [INFO Client 1616] Queue file to download: Data/DexMissionMods.dat 2014/09/12 11:00:13 45952843 22f [INFO Client 1616] Queue file to download: Data/MonsterVarieties.dat 2014/09/12 11:00:13 45952843 22f [INFO Client 1616] Queue file to download: Data/StrDexMissions.dat 2014/09/12 11:00:13 45952843 22f [INFO Client 1616] Queue file to download: Data/NPCMaster.dat 2014/09/12 11:00:13 45952843 22f [INFO Client 1616] Queue file to download: Data/Mods.dat 2014/09/12 11:00:13 45952859 22f [INFO Client 1616] Queue file to download: Data/CraftingBenchOptions.dat 2014/09/12 11:00:13 45952859 22f [INFO Client 1616] Queue file to download: Data/StrMapMods.dat 2014/09/12 11:00:13 45952968 1de [INFO Client 1616] Finished checking files It's still not passing the checking resources stage after completing the packcheck.

If that still doesn't work, download this PathOfExile.exe into the Path of Exile folder and try running that one instead.

Awesome...
Glad it worked out. Ignore my previous post then =] |
