  • 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

  • IGamer82 IriishGamer82 (@IGamer82) reported

    @pathofexile why are there so many bugs in the new league and will there be any patches to fix the bugs

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • _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

  • EnT_Lector Lector_O (@EnT_Lector) reported

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ArgyleFlame Willis 🏴🏳️‍🌈 (@ArgyleFlame) reported

    @pathofexile Servers down?

  • hudsonbarrena_ Hudson Barrena (@hudsonbarrena_) reported

    @pathofexile Hideout crash MTX when?

  • 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.

  • Ingrtan Poki(soooo_deep) (@Ingrtan) reported

    @OctavianZilch @pathofexile I have the exact same problem.

  • NanutsiGG Nanutsi (@NanutsiGG) reported

    @pathofexile Any fixes for servers coming up? this slowmo lag is ridic atm

  • ILikeJuiceXD I Like Juice (@ILikeJuiceXD) reported

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

  • UtkuKamilOzen Utku Kamil Özen (@UtkuKamilOzen) reported

    @pathofexile Stop trying to sell redundant map stash tabs by inconveniencing people on purpose. It's a scam and you don't fix it so you can sell more tabs. It's disgusting. I wouldn't have to bring it up here, if you had replied my emails. End the conversion scam!

  • Darallex Darallex (@Darallex) reported

    @MagicalMysticVA Let's all get together on a free mmo like Neverwinter or Path of Exile then we'll see who's pc won't crash from having so many players on screen doing stuff at once.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Calanon69 Cal69 Dlive.TV Global Partner #UnicornQueen (@Calanon69) reported

    when ya trying to play @pathofexile and all it does via steam is loading screen flashes up then instantly crashes, then you read so many people having the same issue...

  • 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

  • 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.
