Same. Steam client. M1 MBP
Same. Steam Client. MBP M1 Max. Ventura 13.4.1. 64GB
Same issue.

- My iMac meets the spec requirements (although this doesn't appear to be hardware related anyway)

- OS is up to date. Drivers are up to date.

- Steam client downloads game. Validates game. Launches game. Latest patch shows.

Attached image always displays.

'There has been a patch that you need to update to. Please restart Path of Exile.'

Patch 3.21.2 displays in the bottom right.

Yep, same here, M1 Mac
Issue has been fixed for me!
With last hotfix problem solved!
Solved for me too.
In case people are still having this problem ...

The Mac had a recent security patch that does not allow programs (like PoE, or Steam) to write outside their libraries by default.

I had this problem to until I went to: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access . From there, I granted Steam full disk access and restarted Steam. Once I did that, I no longer had "validating the update" on constant repeat on Steam.

There may be other downsides to giving Steam full disk access, but it did seem to solve THIS problem.
