failed writing when receiving data to disk poe2

Hey.

I would update my POE 2 standalone client since I havent played for at month, and wanted to install latest updates before 0.2.0.

I got this error when missing like 32 kb of the update. "failed writing when receiving data to disk poe2". Tryed several times. Did a google search tried to disable windows firewall-windows defender and tried to run as adim. All with zero luck.

Well desided to remove the game so I could do a clean install, but the error is still comming after like downloading 1 giga out of the 85 giga :-(

Is this something GGG is aware of ? And does anyone have any tips on how to proceed ?

thanks in advance.

I also have this exact same problem (Error: Failed writing received data to disk/application while downloading). Also did a google search on it and tried the methods such as reinstalling, disabling windows defender firewall, and giving permisions specifically to POE 2 for windows defender firewall and none have worked for me either.

I can patch POE 1 just fine. Also played POE 2 quite a bit, took a break and came back to prep for the upcoming update and now I have run into this issue.

my first thought is to reininstall/repair the game. Is there a some type of link in the error? Maybe you can type it in ur browser and download manually.


Here is how to do a packcheck for POE 2 same as POE 1.
