Extremely long/Often infinite load screen - followed by unexpected disconnection

Same issue here, me and 3 of the friends I play with. Every 10 or so portals, we get an infinite loading screen, and have to alt f4 to get out.
This happens so frequently it's absolutely infuriating. It's especially rage inducing when it happens five times in a row trying to run a lab, and having to restart it over and over.


Here's a tip for anyone it's happening to:
Message a friend outside of the game, and tell them to invite you a party.
The invitation prompt unfreezes the loading screen.
Works 10 times out of 10.


Just sucks that you don't always have a friend online.
Same thing happening for me. It used to happen once an hour or so. Now it happens every 2-3 zone, no matter where i zone to or from.

Here is my report from before, during and after the crash.

Its instincts took it this far, and it was right to trust them, but now it strayed to a place where nothing learned could be relied upon, where truth and lie could inhabit the same space, the same word, the same thought; the observer and the observed made one and the same.

My Supporter Pack list compensates for my small penis.
Same thing happening with me. No crashes tho. i5-8400 2.80 GHz 8 GB ram GTX 1070 Ti

I was first experiencing this on DX11, switched over to Vulkan and it happens less frequently but still happening. You can hear all hardware slow and quit, ping drops to zero and I will stay that way in infinite loading screens until I force PoE closed.

Running PackCheck now to see if there are any issues.
Update. Packcheck.exe completely fixed my issue. No more infinite loading screens.

Second update. Packcheck.exe worked for one day. I'm back to infinite loading screens.

Same thing here. As of yet no res...
The same thing was happening to me. However, I noticed that my SSD was full, so I uninstalled all that was PoE (everything), cleaned some of my SSD, and installed PoE on another Local Disk. So far I haven't taken a disconnect, even a infinite loading screen.
Same thing started happening a few days back.. Happens every 2-3 load screens. Tried reinstalling, verifying game files. Changing my game settings to a bunch of combinations. Nothing changed anything, about to stop to play for the league...
same here , every few minutes everything stops and then crazy fast speeds up or disconnects me from the game

Please GGG tell us if you working on it or is it possible to fix by ourselves ??

It's impossible to do blighted maps with this happening every minutes. Actually it's not possible to do any maps because with each disconnect 1 portal disappears .
