Loading screen freeze when switching areas after newest update

I can login to the game and load the first area, whether that be the Oriath epilogue area or any other town. Everything seems to run fine in said area. However, once I try to go to my hideout or anywhere else I get the loading screen, the gears spin for a few seconds, and then it freezes. I've waited up to 20 minutes for the loading to complete but nothing happens. As the title points out, this only started with the most recent update.

i have the same probleme... u find a solution ?

Nah I tried the PathCheck.exe; tried running as admin; tried restarting my computer but nothing seems to work.

Same here. Tried deleting Documents/My Games/ Path of Exile contents, change to Vulkan, nothing working for me. :-(

I still don't know what caused the issue but I will say for anyone else that is having this problem it seems to fix itself at some point because I was able to get in and play eventually. Sucks that there isn't an easy fix though.

Same problem. Changing any graphics settings also crashes the game. Tried:

Changing HO
Loading s different character
Updated NVIDIA driver
Switched to DirectX and back to Vulkun
Changed texture quality to med (in settings file, since doing it in a game causes a crash)
Run PackCheck

My Game is on M2sata drive, moved game to sata SSD (thought the drive could be faulty), same error




I managed to load another character to a liones watch but loading a zone or a HO crashes the game. Initial load time takes a while as well


Located at AU (in case it is our servers)

I have the same issue too. Can't go to HO or any other place. Only the first area that it loads. I can run around on that area without a problem.

Also cant change graphics settings. They can only be change from the production_Config file.

I have the same issue and also made a post.

I've reinstalled the client and tried a number of changes, all of which crash the client.

Switching from Vulkan to DirectX
Trying to change zones from where you launch on game open (waypoint or directly connected)

What is weird is that it was working fine last night and I didn't notice any patches today...

Exact same situation here, just happened today... Was able to play after the patch last night with no problems. Interesting......

Update to this - today I've tried to login and everything is working as expected. I have no idea what the hell is going on with GGG servers//patches but it makes no sense to me....

Give it a try and see if it's resolved itself?
