Found a fix for almost every single problem!

Friends issues all listed: Crashes, Invisible Characters, Lag Spikes and random issues.
My problem: Game wouldn't launch at all right after closing the game.

My main problem: "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect..."


So mainly what I did to fix my issue and my friends was the following:

1) Open your Path Of Exile Directory Folder.

2) Make a new file on your desktop. The name won't matter. It's just a mule for now.

3) In your PoE Directory Folder. YOu'll notice 2 bunches of .dll files. Some in between HashCashe.dat down to PackCheck.exe and then some below PathOfExile.exe

4) Copy all the .dll files UNDER PathOfExile.exe. Copy those into your new folder your made then DELETE the same files out of your PoE Directory. So only those files are in the new folder.

5) Run: Client.exe The game will most likely crash at this point. If so no worries; if not check and see if that helped. If no continue to step 6!

6) Do the same with the .dll files between HashCashe.dat down to PackCheck.exe. Copy the .dll files to new folder; then delete those files out of your PoE Directory.

7) Run Client.exe again..

8) It should do it's normal thing and launch; but this time work without crashing. At this point everything should be working fine :D


-->Q) Why did I do this?
-->A) Well because the Repair tool didn't work at all. So manually getting the launch to re-install will kind of act like it's own personal Repair tool :D
