There is no local listen port for patching - the patcher only connects out, so you should never have to forward a local port.
We have had a few reports now of people having issues with patching. We are continuing to investigate the cause, but so far the problem doesn't make a lot of sense. It is *possible* that some ISPs are blocking/filtering certain ports, we will update everyone as we find out more. | |
" It's likely something is blocking the game. Make sure your firewall isn't blocking it, if in doubt try disabling it temporarily. Worst case something upstream of you may be blocking it, in which case please try following my advice on this page to see if the alternate port works. | |
" Yes it does, so when the next patch comes out, you'll need to remove that part. |

Sorry for the delay in fixing this.
There were some DDoS attacks against some of our patching and login servers last night, so we had to put them behind a DDoS mitigation firewall. We left the firewall on overnight in case the DDoS continued/started back up - but it seems that the firewall was getting some false positives for some legitimate traffic (like some patching/login server requests). This should now be resolved, and we are taking measures to make sure that any future DDoS attempts have less impact on our servers. | |
" Have you added an exception for Path of Exile in your firewall software? Also, are you using a wireless connection or cable/ethernet? |
