Compromised Accounts
There have recently been an increased amount of reports regarding players having their accounts compromised. We've looked into as many reports as we could, and will continue to do so, however we have found no evidence of any kind of security breach on our end. If you're not already, we strongly recommend using secure and unique passwords. If you login through Steam but previously used the Standalone client, your email and password is still a valid login method and you should ensure this password is secure and unique.

Hey you guys.

When're you finally going to allow us to use 2FA apps (e.g. Ente Auth) to secure the accounts many of us have spent thousands of euros on?

I swear, only GGG could be so feckless and inattentive to tell us that responsibility for account security lies at the feet of the individual account owner - all while depriving us of the option to use any kind of modern security feature whatsoever.

It is 2025. Get with the program, tyvm.

This ^

Thanks GGG, appreciate the update as things have been getting a bit hairy. Good luck with the fixes.

can you guys look into the intel engine multithreading issues? mostly newest intel gen (ultra 9 285k+ ultra 7 265k) but some older ones have problems too since the league patch and the 0.2 poe2 patch. whatever you guys changed in the 0.2 and 3.26 patch doesnt work well.
without it enabled the cpu doesnt spike, with it enabled it spikes extremely, even just in the login screen
there were 0 issues with it enabled before 3.26 and 0.2


engine multithreading on vs off
it was like off part chart before the 0.2 and 3.26 patch but while it was enabled

I had the same problem for so long, and im using Xeon E5-2620V3, quite old at this point, and my CPU times were jumping from 50 to 130MS all the time. Some guy at reddit found out that its problem with cpu states, and provided cmd command to manually set it via powercfg (same as power plan settings from control panel)
Now my cpu time is "just" ~25ms, but at least its super constant now.
Makes me mad that I played for years like that when solution was this easy.

hey, thanks for the info, im gonna try that later for sure. i just doubt its the same issue since i got c-states disabled in the bios, even before it started. ive changed nothing but the 0.2 and 3.26 update.
but ill try to disable it in windows too with the custom power plan, see if it maybe fixes it anyways.



edit:
yea ive tried that custom power plan, didnt change anything, still the same, engine multithreading on vs off in the login screen:


and poe2 0.2 and poe1 3.26 are the only games where this happens, they just screwed something up for the 285k, they probably didnt even test the game on it since no one uses those, with the 0.2 engine change which now also applies to 3.26

This is what I do. I got Firefox generate a strong password for these forums, I let Firefox save it, but I turn off "remember me" checkbox when logging in. So when I need to log in to PoE or if something changes and it asks to reenter password, I don't know it, I go to Firefox, let it fill the password field and only not that easy copy and cut is disabled on right mouse menu in that part so just ctrl + c, and ctrl + v password field. Easy. I guess if I delete Firefox I can recover through email. I just cannot have another decent password in my head and reusing because of security reasons meh...

Also there is section in settings where you can access saved passwords that's what I do also. Well it sucks for the German guy that gets his IP daily reset, but if that's not the case if you don't forget to disconnect from VPNs because I would guess that would be an overhead too, it recalls you by IP, small but big issue in a sense.

EU Servers are still having latency spikes btw
