infinite loading screen

Im unable to login my first character why infinite loading screen

THIS POST IS ENDED HERE... I CONTINUE MY NOTES HERE:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1n8hslx/possible_fix_for_infinite_loading_screen/

─ Map area infinite loading: The Ardura Caravan ─
ℹ️ not only in this area

INFOS:

I create this char when the last free weekend and buy the Early Access today

I tried to changing server at login page but doesent work

I already tried to create new char and the new char work as normal, but probable the problem appear also to the new char after I play it

I tried all Renderer and nothing change

I check every related tweaks I do in Windows 11 Pro (and is not caused by my settings)

My hardware work as normal, even in games with more resources/assets to load

─ maybe a VPN solve the problem I dont know... ─
ℹ️ this cannot solve the problem

- - -

The following FIX maybe solve the problem (but I cannot say for sure)...

⚠️ BE SURE YOU KNOW WATH YOU DO BEFORE DO THIS COMMANDS

IM NOT RESPONSIBLE TO ANY PROBLEM RELATED TO USE THIS FIX !!!

❗ THIS WORK ONLY FOR ETHERNET CONNECTION, NOT FOR ANY OTHERS

all of these are Terminal PowerShell commands (admin) OBV

this command is for show the values about your Network Adapter
(helpfull for revert the values to Windows default):

Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name "Ethernet" | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayValue

this commands disable/enable options in Network adapter
(THIS IS THE POSSIBILE FIX IF IS THIS THE PROBLEM OF THE LOADING):

Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name 'Ethernet' -DisplayName 'Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4)' -DisplayValue 'Disabled'

Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name 'Ethernet' -DisplayName 'Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6)' -DisplayValue 'Disabled'

Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name 'Ethernet' -DisplayName 'IPv4 Checksum Offload' -DisplayValue 'Disabled'

Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name 'Ethernet' -DisplayName 'TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4)' -DisplayValue 'Disabled'

Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name 'Ethernet' -DisplayName 'TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6)' -DisplayValue 'Disabled'

Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name 'Ethernet' -DisplayName 'Interrupt Moderation' -DisplayValue 'Disabled'

Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name 'Ethernet' -DisplayName 'Flow Control' -DisplayValue 'Rx & Tx Enabled'

ℹ️ for revert to default, need the same commands one by one reverted to default values you know from the command described before...

This command help you to test your connection:
just extabilish a test-connection to google.com and show results

Test-NetConnection -ComputerName google.com -InformationLevel Detailed

- - -

another possibile FIX is use https://github.com/SystemXFiles/process-governor or any other app like this, and setup priority to High and I/O to Normal (dont do "Real TIme" nor "Force" why can cause instability)

expecially I/O to Normal can solve/mitigate the problem (maybe)

for Affinity you need dig in Internet why I dont know your CPU, or just ask to ChatGPT, but be care, you need to know how to ask to ChatGPT (or any other AI), isnt enought asking like "tell me ho to setup Affinity in Process Governor" and Im not a teacher here to how to use AI :|

Other considerations...

─ I noticed stability in loading with these launch options (creating a shortcut on the desktop, under Target): ─

─ "...\PathOfExile.exe" --nologo --waitforpreload --noasync --nopreload ─

FROM THE LOGS THIS PARAMETERS ARE [UNRECOGNIZED]
the POE2 client ignores these launcher flags, they do not affect the behavior... no more -_-

list of Launch options for Path Of Exile:

ℹ️ I reapeat: all in this post are not-for-sure

It should also not be forgotten that if the problem is server-side and not your PC, these changes prob make no sense, but if it were server-side it would affect many more people, and accurate feedback from users would be needed.

I noticed the problem are big mitigated, like no more infinite loading, just slow...
and I cannot say for sure why maybe is a server-side problem

ℹ️ about Prefetch and SuperPrefetch (SysMain)
I'm only sure of one thing about these 2: they increase the load on disk usage during the game, producing no real benefit on SSD, neither for the stability of the game nor for loading.
many people suggest to disable, and many to keep enable, like any other confusion created by Microsoft -_-

Same :(
Really annoying, this is only since last week updates

I update the message with a possible FIX (for me seem work)

the FIX is not dangerous, like... cannot broke your PC (sure)

BUT its an advanced tweak to Windows settings, in the Network Adapter options parameters... so, as I already writed in the edit of the post:

if you wanna try it, before, know wath you do...

these tweaks dont increase speed, or change the behavioer of your Internet connection, but make packet handling more predictable and compatible with PoE2 (probable, not sure)

the result (for me...) is the disappearance of the infinite loading screen, because the game networking engine immediately and correctly receives all the packets needed to initialize the game world

BUT I reapeat, Im not really sure if this FIX the problem, or maybe its just a placebo, like... I do this FIX, and no more infinite loading screen, but maybe is no more infinite loading why now the server not have the problem (like a coincidence)

anyway the FIX is possible to be reverted... to default Widnows settings
