Infinite loading problems

12:15 GMT+1, normal PoE MS to infinity crash happens, nothing new, it happens.

12:16 after starting the game again I get an infinite load* going to any non-storyline zones.

12:45 After having tested all the different settings in the options, I decide to shut the PC off and go blaze so at least caches are cleared on the hardware.

13:00 Booting up again to do some 2-man strat testing for next league (cringe i know, aparently this is now solo player) I still have infinity loads* with some times getting into HO, but the general theme is that the infinite load* is preventing me from doing anything.

13:30 Eyy online in HO to get a quickie 1div sale

13:45 Having concluded that potentially the game cache is causing the infinite load*, I go hunting on how again it was I did it..... And deciding that the way steam install games on your PC is so fucking frustrating.

14:15 After some lost hair I remember I have a 750/750 connection and uninstall the game to just reinstall it, since that will clear the cache.

14:45 Infinity loading* still happening I go scouring the tech support threads, tinker with some pre-loads. No improovement in sight.

15:00 I decide to do the honorable last thing and crank everything to absolute max and just see what happens. This is a short lived happy moment of loading into Kingsmarch for the first time in 3hrs followed by infinite load* to HO.

15:10 The time I had to try doing duo is now passed and the infinity loading* is now at a point where I just decide... You know what I'll do a thread cause this surely can't be right.


*Having a 2nd person is helpful here, my char loads into the zone. But I am suck looking at some hard working cogwheels.
