Hey there, Can you please try running a Pack Check, as there may be been a problem with the patching process. Here is a guide for performing a Pack Check: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/18531 Also, be sure to run the game as Administrator, as sometimes permission issues can cause this problem after a patch.

Hey, I just got the same problem. My game patched fine (by all apperances) and I've been playing for many hours since this morning. My power just went out for a few minutes however, and after booting back up and trying to launch PoE i get the same "Error opening file:" message. I do not get a Visual C++ Runtime error, however. Running (from an elevated CMD prompt (32bit)): C:\Games\Path of Exile>PackCheck.exe Checking pack file Content.ggpk... ->PackCheck.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the progrma and notify you if a solution is available. (i.e. the standard Windows app crash message).

I am getting the same error, and packcheck.exe ALSO stopped working due to an appcrash. EDIT: Mine was related to a power flicker too....like above. Last edited by Eunomic#2524 on Jul 16, 2013, 10:27:17 AM	Posted by Eunomic#2524 on Jul 16, 2013, 10:26:09 AM Quote this Post
Seems like my Content.ggpk is corrupted somehow and PackCheck.exe can't handle it. If I rename my Content.ggpk to _Content.ggpk and run PackCheck.exe it works fine (of course I have to re-download all the game content again).	Posted by AveiMil#0732 on Jul 16, 2013, 10:31:16 AM Quote this Post

Hey there, As AveiMil has said, if the Pack Check fails, you have to re-download the content.ggpk file.
