Party play = Endless loading screen

+1

+2

We are not only getting the endless loading screen but this last time we were showing in a random party with random people when we reloaded the game and couldnt kick them out or leave. Had to kill the game and load again.

Same issue here with another person in party. Every second or third time loading into another area causes the game to get stuck on loading screen and you have to kill the game.

+1 here

+2 yep infinite loading screen while going into cemetery and while going into totconcort
and a few others this issue is getting worse. in poe2 ive got 14700k cpu and 4080 super buddy has 7900xt and 7800x3d

This also keeps happening to me when I'm trying to play with my friends (which has been most of the time so far). Very annoying

From what I saw on PS5 forum there is fix for that, albeit for PS5..

For PC players nothing new was announced.
Very, very annoying and literally break the gaming experience.

One strategy that's been working for me: Have one designated person who moves to whatever area you want. Once they're fully loaded into the area, click the button on their portrait to teleport directly to them.

Getting the same problem. Two of us and if we both join a new zone or port to town there is a high chance we have endless spinning gears at the load screen.

One of us has CPU sitting at 100% the whole time and a brand new graphics card 8GB VRAM.

Going in one at a time waiting for the first to fully load into the map has helped but sometimes accidently both go in at the same time and regret.
