Perhaps you can look in POE's logs to see if the error has more details ?

\[PathOfExile install directory]\logs\Client.txt


Also, I've looked into my windows firewall rules, there's nothing specific for POE.

"[CRIT Client 5788] Disconnected from patching server before patching completed. Try again"
That's the last and only line where there's an error, no other messages that indicates a problem.

Do you have a line like this in client.txt ?

If you have PackCheck.exe in your pathofexile folder (this is GGG program to detect invalid files), you can try to run it, then run the launcher again.
Sometimes, it can fix patching problems.

Yes, I do have those lines... Those are a problem?
But no, the only files i have are:

logs - folder with the client.txt and an empty labyrinth_prizes folder.
redist - folder with 3 text documents, not even DirectX included.
content.ggpk - 16MB
hashcache.dat
pathofexile.exe

[edit]: What happens when I start the launcher/installer is it's showing me the patch history, checking resources and dies - giving me the error message that I'm disconnected from patching server... I have checked with WinMTR tripple times but nothing is wrong, I'm getting ping and it's averaging out at 32ping with ~100 max.
No problems in any other online games, POE is the only game that won't start /install/update.

The lines are not a problem, i have the same ones in my client.txt, it was to see if the patch server was good.

So hmmm, if you don't have PackCheck.exe, you can try to move the content.ggpk file elsewhere (and perhaps hashcache.dat, i'm not sure).
If those files are corrupted, it could fix the patch download.

And the game uses 17-20Go on your disk (after download)

Already tried deleting those files like 10 times xD
Tried running the installer as Admin.
Tried re-downloading the installer.
I think I have tried it all... Don't know what more I can do :(

I'm running out of ideas ^^

Googling for a full game download now, found something from GrabPCGames and I have no clue of what it is xD
But... If there's an installer working, I'm taking it.

Safest thing would be download from steam, then copy the files into your standalone POE folder.

Would that work, and let me play without Steam active?
