This game isn't worth playing in hardcore until loading screen deaths are addressed.

Every single HC character is just a ticking time bomb with the current system. I've now lost a 56 witch and a 64 Templar both to loading screen deaths. Do you know how much fun it is click on the next area, and then arrive at a "you have died!" screen?

Twice?

Absolutely appalling

I'm running an i7 with 4g of dedicated video and 6g ram this is complete bull.

*sigh*

I'm so upset right now.

I think that there is a protection that makes u invulnerable for a fixed time or 'till u move.

Loading screen deaths have been fixed when it comes to the previous area's mobs attacking you.

However you can still die if you click around before the game fully loads in the next area. You end up losing your 10 second invulnerable state when you click around on the loading screen.

Lost lv 74 today, absolutely know how you feel. Posted in tech, saw people post in bug, tech and general - no response.

Guess I will wait to see if GGG responds in any of the newer threads, although I doubt it - seems they don't find this to be a big issue.

Definitely won't play this game in SC and if "no restoring" is the only policy that shows how HC GGG is, then I am not sure I understand them.

HC where you can alt+f4 to avoid death when you make mistake, but death in loading screens? Maybe it is a next-gen thing and I am too old-fashioned.

I really don't think I'll play again. Taking a break for sure. So take notes GGG losing your player base to this.

Obviously, its a big issue and they are trying to fix it. But unless u can get a greater network for their servers connection they are not going to advance in that direction because that costs money. And u have to understand that POE being their first game they dont have same budget as a bigger company. Besides as stated before if u dont click around in loading screen u dont die and if u do its ur fault.

I haven't clicked anything but that is absolutely irrelevant. Loading never ended - client crushed.

Your "u dont click around in loading screen u dont die" is not applicable here. Loading lasted well over normal period + 10 sec. I don't know when game decided that I entered the zone. I have never seen it, and I certainly wasn't touching anything before I was on my desktop.

only thing needs to be done here,its the 8 second invulnerability jump to 30 seconds.I dont see why if you dont move at all to be something like 30 sec invulnerability.I understand this *could* cause problems in cutthroat leagues,but,then again 30 seconds of ones time is 30 seconds added to those who level.

easy to resolve this problem.... make invulnerable infinite until you move or use skill......

don't see a big issue here.

GGG i resolved you'r problem whit deaths in loading screens!!!.

solid state harddrive or bust, anything less and you will keep dying to this. you can have an i3 and a crappy vid card and still skip this death with a fast harddrive, load times are 100% harddrive based...

i currently have no load time, many ppl like me also dont even see the loading screen, upgrade your HD and then start HC again.
