  • EnT_Lector Lector_O (@EnT_Lector) reported

    Fix your ******* servers @pathofexile

  • _Eisra_ Eisra (@_Eisra_) reported

    Played POE for the first time & had a lot of fun. I cant continue playing it & my feared problem has come true because, my mouse & keyboard hurts my hands. I can't understand why there is no controller support for PC. it's a shame that I can't play it anymore. @pathofexile

  • Belzariak1 Belzariak (@Belzariak1) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile I have these same issues for long time now. Forums are useless and it sometimes its worse than other times. I think it's connected to display driver digesting data from the server and getting stuck causing crash/lag.

  • ILikeJuiceXD I Like Juice (@ILikeJuiceXD) reported

    @pathofexile Any idea when the lag and frame rate problems will be addressed. If there's more than 20 monsters on the screen the game freezes then launches you in a random direction which causes instant death.

  • ArgyleFlame Willis 🏴🏳️‍🌈 (@ArgyleFlame) reported

    @pathofexile Servers down?

  • 1337cLr cLr (@1337cLr) reported

    @UseTheRedDye @SomaydPOE @pathofexile I play a 4k hp 40% evade 40% phys reduction death aura build (defence is not great) and Ive been running t14+ t10 scourge maps without problems.

  • OctavianZilch Octavian0 (@OctavianZilch) reported

    Game still completely unplayable today. @pathofexile any word on a fix for this? Or perhaps whether this is in fact an issue on your guys' side that you're aware of? Going crazy trying to figure out if it's something I need to fix that I just missed

  • xilaxlebarbare Xilax (@xilaxlebarbare) reported

    @pathofexile My game crashed during lab, fix your ******* game please, it's the second time in 1 hour, i will not take anymore cosmetic until it's fixed (it was working perfectly before, wtf have you done with this ****** krangled season... bring back delirium !)

  • TheReal10567348 TheRealDeal (@TheReal10567348) reported

    @pathofexile Could not play, dc'd, several exceptions(skill)leading to a crash, tp's insta crashing game. Simply gave up on this league, sounds like most things were fixed but I've already moved on. That's what almost a week of problems will do for me.

  • RBImGuy Robert Johansson (@RBImGuy) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile Never had that issue in EU (sweden)

  • SnibSnab Nathan (@SnibSnab) reported

    @OctavianZilch @Kumuragari @pathofexile Oh wow I didn't know more people had this issue, I thought it was just my internet being garbage per usual

  • Dan_Marchand Dan (@Dan_Marchand) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile I sent you a DM. The short of it is that this matches the same issue I ran into, and it was caused by a modem with a defective intel chipset combined with the game spamming a large number of packets. Feel free to DM me and I can help out.

  • ILikeJuiceXD I Like Juice (@ILikeJuiceXD) reported

    @pathofexile Please fix the damn game. I played for 2 hours and had 27 disconnects.

  • dropkickdurfee Swarles Barkley🧢ⓥ (@dropkickdurfee) reported

    @IamSaxx @OctavianZilch @pathofexile Had the same problem the other night. Switched from DC to Texas and has worked fine since. Hope they get it resolved.

  • DireGray DireGray (@DireGray) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile Idk if you tried it yet back when I had a very similar issue I used PingPlotter to ping both PoE, Google at the same time was able to narrow down where stuff was dropping. When I showed the tech from my net provider the results they were able to track it down to a bad node.

  • kythik Drew (@kythik) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile I had little to no issue until this morning. Then, I logged in for a few insomnia maps and it hasn't been pretty.

  • Daily_Pain_Post lmao (@Daily_Pain_Post) reported

    @pathofexile Ayo my game keeps freezing and booting me to the main menu, I play on ps4 anybody know how to fix? It started as soon as I hit level 10.

  • Kumuragari Naihk (@Kumuragari) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile What is Broken? Can you include the Problem so people know what you mean? <3

  • duszekadi Adik (@duszekadi) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile Yesterday my ping jumped to 40k, died because of this ;) there are no problems on my side checked this twice

  • officedr0ne Officedr0ne (@officedr0ne) reported

    @grimjimslim @pathofexile @Its_Yoji Usually they sweep it under the rug and keep pumping PR and MTX, but you'd think they would actually address it considering multiple top streamers have showcased the glaring issue lately.

  • IamSaxx Sax (@IamSaxx) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile I normally play on texas or DC. Ive had this issue as well. 2000 liast night. I had to switch to California. I'm not going to say ut was great but it was playable.

  • TheBigvi TheBigvi (@TheBigvi) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile Same issue for me this League. I am sure its not my hardware problem or internet connection (playing on 300Mb stable 12ms Frankfurt). I even reinstalled my PC with fresh windows just to make sure.

  • AWeeLittleFox VE ASpookyLittleFox (@AWeeLittleFox) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile :/ I've seen a few posts about the game being unplayable for people. It's gotta be on GGG's side at this rate. There's no way thousands of people across different ISPs and continents ALL have the same internet issues.

  • magimagic20 Theo Larsen (@magimagic20) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile I had a similar though slightly less severe issue and I solved it by switching from DirectX 11 to Vulcan renderer.

  • Garf412 Garf412 (@Garf412) reported

    35 hours in @playlostark NO DC's NO lag :D, played @pathofexile for 3 hours, 1 dc, resulting in crashed Blight Map (t10) lost map, 1 DC, resulting in character Death (SC), 46 Lag Spikes (over 450 lag)... since 4th Nov... Seriously GGG... come on FIX IT! thanks..

  • Ingrtan Poki(soooo_deep) (@Ingrtan) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile I have the exact same problem.

  • thelfenix Sherlocked (@thelfenix) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile i have the same problem since the start of 3.16. although it's been better the last couple of days

  • ktz_e someoneornoone (@ktz_e) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile I had this exact same thing right before launch.I play on Linux and all I had to do was to change the proton version I was using, but maybe the underlying issue is the same: it seems it's a timeout that happens when the client takes too long to load something (ex. a shader)

  • hudsonbarrena_ Hudson Barrena (@hudsonbarrena_) reported

    @pathofexile Hideout crash MTX when?

  • grimjimslim grimjimslim (@grimjimslim) reported
