Constant disconnects when loading zones

THIS WORKED FOR ME.

short version; switch to 32 bit instead of 64 bit.

Like most of you, these loading screens and disconnections have been an issue.

However, after reading the posts about shortcuts (which i never used due to never having any performance issues with this game) i looked into my library and found teh holee 32-bit exe file for POE.


IMPORTANT: USE THE 32BIT "PathOfExileSteam.exe" file in your (default) steam/steamapps/common/pathofexile library as your shortcut or manually execute "PathOfExileSteam.exe"


Like said earlier; This worked for me (reducing load time and frequent crashes, I dont even have to relog while trying to enter the game intitally

Hope this helps, since i've struggled with this problem for 2 leagues as i recall, never been an issue in past leagues on the same computer and i have found absolutely no reply from GGG that adresses this issue with any palpable solutions..... like switching from 64-bit to 32-bit has been for me.... absurd....

Praise it, but fuck you GGG XD

Thank you man! Running the game in dx 9 fixed everything.

For anyone else go to options>Graphics>DirectX Version 9

I have no dc's now, nothing.

Since 3.3 I WILL disconnect from instances, or more often fail to join instances every other instance. Regardless if it's from a TP or waypoint.


It's a point where the game is unplayable, which is a damn shame.

And I know for sure it's not my PC or connection.
I have 3 high-end gaming rigs, and a gaming laptop. I have tried playing on every machine, and connecting to multiple servers, from multiple servers literally around the world.


Regardless if I'm playing from Los Angeles, Santiago (CL), or Seoul, the game WILL not work.


It makes it a real shame that I've spent almost $4k on the game and can't play. And likely won't anymore.

Same, game was nearly unplayable. I changed to directx9 instead of 11, and predictive mode instead of lockstep. less disconnects for sure, but game looks choppy so not a great fix.


On a side note, it took me at least a week to find these suggestions. Most of the people who post often and try to "help" will immediately tell you it is your ISP even though there are dozens of threads from many different people with these disconnect problems, and they run every other game and app with no problems.

Same problem, tried everything, nothing works. I'm done with poe until this is fixed, it takes around 5 minutes to get into a map. Unlike the joke posts on reddit, this actually makes the game unplayable.

Good evening,

I have had terrible login problems since the start of the Incursion League blasted me back to POE. I need at least 3-5 attempts each time to get into the game, and then I have problems entering maps each time. I always lose at least one map portal because the game returns to the login screen, which is very annoying if I want to go to the lab, for example. When I enter the Atzoatl Temple I always lose 1 portal through a logout back to the main menu. At the beginning I could live with it but meanwhile I'm really only fucked up when I log in... By the way, the problems only occur at the beginning, if the game runs at some point I have no logouts anymore, except at Atzoatl Temple. There the problem occurs every time!

I don't think it's a hardware problem because I have a relatively powerful PC with a lot of power and I don't have any such problems with other games. Don't misunderstand me, i love POE and have been playing it for years but now it just sucks to come into play... It would be great if GGG takes care of the problem!

me too cannot enter way points

Same message but it happens every first time i try to get into game, after that there's no issue, if i close the game for a while and enter after an hour maybe, it happens again, and on second try it loads perfectly.

This happens to me almost every single time I try and load into a hub/city/camp whatever you want to call it. Only very rarely happens if loading into an actual zone, never happens loading into hideouts.

I have a feeling it happens more often if I tab out during loading screens (running in borderless window mode)


Edit:
DX9 mode doesn't fix this

For all those with "unexpected disconnection" message when loading town (oriath) for first time login, i've managed to take on three different solutions:

A) Delete the ShaderCacheD3D11 folder and run the game again, there's no download needed at all, is just the "cache" for textures, so don't worry about reinstalling or redownload stuff. Still you will probably get the same issue again in the next updates or just never at all if u're lucky.

B) Set the launcher for --noasync option, bear in mind that this will cause to load the whole textures everytime you get into a town, HO, or map, etc, meaning the loading screen will remain untill all textures are loaded. Not the best choice overall, unless you got powerful rig regarding CPU and RAM.

C) Buying SSD, this is the ultimate solution for loading issues in everygame, reddit is overflowing with people talking about this issue and how SSD totally changed the equation.

In summary, this specific issue probably comes from the cache of the textures in the game, while trying to get you into the game before the textures are fully loaded, the game seems to crash on a certain point and forcing the disconnection from the game.
