Login Error: "You are logging in from a new location" Issue
Description:
I am encountering an issue where the game displays a login error stating: "You are logging in from a new location. Please re-enter your password." This error appears every time I open the game, even though I am logging in from my usual location and network. Additionally, the game often requires me to enter a confirmation code sent to my email due to this supposed location change, which is very inconvenient as no actual location change has occurred. Steps to Reproduce: Launch the Path of Exile client. Enter your account credentials (email and password). Click "Log In." Observe the error message and/or prompt for an email confirmation code. Expected Result: The game should log me in without any errors when using my usual location and credentials, and it should not request a confirmation code unnecessarily. Actual Result: The game prompts a login error suggesting that I am logging in from a new location, even though I am not. Often, I have to retrieve a confirmation code from my email and re-enter it in addition to re-entering my password. Additional Details: Platform: PC (Standalone) Operating System: Windows 11 Network Details: Using a wired connection with no VPN or proxy active. This issue happens every time I attempt to log in. Attempts to Fix: Re-entered the password multiple times. Retrieved and entered the confirmation code from my email every time. Restarted the game client. Restarted my router/modem. Verified the integrity of game files through the PackCheck.exe. None of these steps have resolved the issue. Notes: This issue has become a major inconvenience, as it requires me to repeatedly re-enter my password and retrieve confirmation codes from my email due to an apparent location change that never happened. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or resolution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Last bumped on Feb 5, 2025, 4:56:47 AM

I am also experiencing the "logging in from a new location issue"... and now it happens during gameplay, where it kicks me out of the game. I think its difficult to login from a new location, when I'm already logged in and playing.

The same thing has been happening to me since day 3 of EA. It's quite annoying to have to grab a code from the email and enter the password twice just to log in when all I want is to press the login button and play.

" Look in the email, whether the mentioned location is correct (sometimes it is "from an unknown location", so that your current IP address doesn't seem to be known/registered to the from GGG used geolocation service). Last edited by Th69#3281 on Feb 5, 2025, 6:52:36 AM
