Does anyone know if GGG has acknowledged this problem? Are they just going to leave this as is? I'm starting to think they don't read these posts...

I just cleared the Steam cache and the game hasn't tried to validate since 🤷♂️

Clearing the Steam download cache seems to have fixed it for me too.

" Solved it for a while -- back to validating today 😒 |

It would be nice to get some communication from GGG around this.

Problem still present. I dont think clearing the steam cache really helps I have done it regulary from the start of the issue. If I had to hazzard a guess it its just that there is some kind of window of time where you dont have to validate again after doing it, but after a while you will have to do it again. Does anybody know if this issue has been raised on Reddit? As far as I know GGG is usually active in the poe subreddit and replies on issue there? I guess they dont really read the forums which is kind of crazy, we havnt even got confirmation or any acknowledgement from GGG? Especially after we have given so much info and it seems like an easy fix? |

Can confirm it is still an issue. I think someone elses guess that there is one server in the rack that is on a different version and sometimes you get it and after 3 failures(You get the update game error 2 times) it tries a different server and then you can log in. But if you get the error once steam thinks you need to update so it verifies game file on next start.

Hi, I had the same problem.
if you are from South Africa as everyone else I have seen with the problem is from South Africa. I fixed the problem for myself by changing my steam downloads region From Johannesburg to Ireland and have not had one case of validating since. I suspect the problem is with the South African Steam servers. |

And after hours of no issues the problem came back. So this was not the solution. Sorry for misleading feedback
