Device Error ShaderD3D9.cpp:157

[matamepoko]'s solution worked for me:

DELETING ALL THE FOLDERS IN c:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Path of Exile\ShaderCache

seems to solve the issue.

Dont have steam, and this issue is so fucking annoying, i do high tier maps, i find an abyss map and i still have 5 of the 6 portals left on my maze map i cleared it for 60% not even done the boss yet, and i got the device error and lost the abyss map and the 5 portals, this was like a week ago maybe a bit longer, now i ran shrine map cleared it for 30% same issue only i didnt lose the sulphur wastes map i found there, i cant play like this, i get the error trice and get pissed as fuck to return afther that to my hideout and see that my map is gone a map is like 10-15c

Guys I may have found a solution for all these DirectX errors

What i Did:

For non-steam users:

- Run the troubleshooter ( yes i know it's a long shot but it worked for me )
it will tell you to run the game in Windows 8 compatability mode and also ask
to run the game with DX11 in stead of DX9
- after this it should work!

For Steam users:

- Set launch parameter " -Dx11 "
- Then it should work !

I hope this helps for some people and hopefully for everyone.

I am extremely tired i wanna play so bad and i cant because of this please GGG fix this T________________T
