Game gets stuck on the loading screen

same for me.

I was finally able to play for a day or two after being stuck at the gears since 3.14.1d and, now, after installing the quick patch, am back to watching gears spin.

I have the same issue.

Patch got stuck on the gear loading screen.

Hotfix fixed the problem for a few days.

Downloaded a mini patch or something today and now it is stuck on the grinding gears area again and won't load the game.

In the same boat here. Game ran great after the recent big patch but after this smaller one today I'm also stuck at the initial gear loading screen. :(

it's 2am in NZ so i think we're not gonna have hotfix anytime soon.

same issue after the initial Grinding Gear Games it shows that loading screen (moving gears) and than it gets stuck

Same.. was literally playing the game just fine, logged out for an hour to go make food, came back and couldn't get past spinning gears. Re-installs don't do anything but waste time.

still no chance here

so guys... i dont know about you but what did the magic for me was to delete the whole C:\Users\user\Documents\Path of exile folder ( make a backup first )

Have the same issue game is stuck at the loading screen.

Since the patch update i did today.
