Error when attempting to Login

When I try to log into POE2, I get the below error message:

'Metadata/Items/Armours/Shields/Uniques/MeritOfServiceeHeld':
Error:
Metadata/Items/Armours/Sheilds/Uniques/MeritOfService/MeritOfServiceHeld.ao
is non-virtual and does not have a physical file


I click 'Ok' on the error message and the game closes.

Same Problem for me. Reinstall and log in on another device doesn´t fix anything

same here.. tryed a few things. nothing worked

For everyone needing a workaround, try the solution from identical thread 3830355
