newest patch download issue???

ok so it looks like steam is actually doing the download now on their side and not just the inital small blue box that pops up saying download in progress, maybe it was just time based and we got delayed, ill let everyone know in a few minutes

just went thru guys. try it again everyone thats on steam.

yeah it is on steam now, we can go in

I did a restart and steam loaded patch correctly and I'm in.

I cant log in since restart. Start POE, blank screen, then just exits w/o any message. Anyone else?

For me i got all my progress wiped I was already up to 9 watchstones and now i have 4 extra tabs that does not belong to me and I dont even have a map device anymore.

after the update, the game closed when loading the location (no errors, it just closed), then it started throwing me out when I tried to enter the game, and now the game simply does not start, I reinstalled it and the client started and closed without even loading the login menu

Turns out it was my graphics driver. By coincidence, I also got an Nvidia update the other night which seemed to be related.

Here is how I found it:

1. Looked at my Client .Worker7.txt file and saw this message:
2021/07/20 13:26:40 ***** LOG FILE OPENING *****
2021/07/20 13:26:42 4575859 71 [CRIT Client 7600] [D3D11] CreateShaderResourceViewEx: The GPU device instance has been suspended. Use GetDeviceRemovedReason to determine the appropriate action. (GetDeviceRemovedReason: An internal issue prevented the driver from carrying out the specified operation. The driver's state is probably suspect, and the application should not continue.)

2. I recalled the Nvidia update and tried to open the Nvidia control panel and it wouldnt open. Then went in to system settings for display and it said the device was working correctly. But, I went ahead and selected driver properties, and update driver. Windows started searching for new driver, found one, and told me upgrade was complete.

3. Tried to open Nvidia control panel again, and it worked.

4. Tried POE and it now works.

So I suspect the Nvidia update may have been the culprit, not the POE update.

Anyway, hope that helps.
