wtf is symlink? If you copy over the content.ggpk before you start the Steam download, the installer erases it.

If you try to put it there after starting the download in Steam, the "Verify Cache Integrity" doesn't re-recognize that you have the large file moved over. still takes just as long.....



apprently you didnt even read the first post... -_-


and please don't insinuate that I glossed over the topic..... I have been trying this for hours.
Twitter feed says that there will be a patch sometime in the next three hours. Two hours from when I post this.

How is this STILL not fixed...
This works perfectly and is FAST. This takes only a few minutes. You do NOT have to download the entire game again as copying Content.ggpk over reduces the download time to a minute or less.

one quick fix (for many)

1. download the installer and install it (point to a location easy to find as desktop)

2. when the game start to allocate disk space, close it

3. go until the steam folder steamapps \ common \ Path of Exile, and copy the file Content.ggpk (about 4.6GB) to the new installation. and turn the game shortcut left by the installer, it will download about 24mbs

4. Short after the update, run the game, login, and ask for a release code, use it to complete the release.
close the game and then play normally through steam.

sorry for the horrible English, I'm just a Brazilian trying to help you not to download the game again ^ ~

if it works with you, comment and share with your friends, see you in-game
good luck to everyone o/

Steam version of PoE not available in Malaysia? Is this permanent or regions will slowly be unlocked on Steam?
I cannot launch PoE via steam at all :(

Here is what the client log says:

i enjoyed the game while beta, but it was beta and eventually i got tired with the unbalanced and the game being unfinished. But since you put on steam i decided to give a try, because you know, its steam. And then, this happens. Really thinking not trying this game again. You guys had weeks to prepare to lunch on steam.
Despite the patch, I still can't log in with the Steam client (it's still stuck on "contacting server").

I COULD reinstall the non-steam client and enter my unlock code there, but it takes longer for me to download the client than it takes GGG to hotfix something. I have faith that this'll eventually get fixed.
