3.26.0 Hotfix 3

We need progress on console. Over 35k waiting still. That's how good the game is.I just wish we got the same respect pc got

after 3.26.0 Hotfix 3,i can not start game

Okay ya'll I was having a similar issue, but I think I found a fix. Running the game via crossover on an M1 Mac.

Started the league no problem today, but after taking a dinner break, ran into this error upon trying to launch the game:

[VULKAN] Failed to allocate texture [Shadow Atlas], along a black screen.

It seems like the game is auto-defaulting to Vulcan, maybe that happened with the hotfix 3 they pushed, I'm not sure.

There's probably a more efficient way to fix this but, here's what I did:

1. open up the production_config.ini in text edit

2. go to format-> select "make rich text"

3. Save

4. Undo what you just did, I think its something like "plain text"

5. Launch the game

6. At this point it will crash, and generate a new Config file in your documents, delete the old one you had modified

7. Regardless of what your previous settings were, you'll notice this config file is set to "device_type=Vulcan", Change this to "device_type=DirectX12" and boom should be good to go.

(P.S) I just stumbled upon this, its probably as simple as deleting the config file and letting the game generate a new one, rather than the format thing, but figured I'd replicate here what I did.

Your DX12 patch broke OBS streaming for Path of Exile 1.

I'm now forced to use DX11, because my PC can't handle Vulkan.

Explanation of the Problem:

When I select the PoE1 game window in OBS while using DX12, I get a black screen — the game is not displayed at all.

If I select DX11, it works.

If I select Vulkan, it works (but I can’t use it BECAUSE MY PC CANNOT HANDLE VULKAN).

If I select DX12, it no longer works.

I wasted 2 hours trying to troubleshoot this.

I am having the exact same issue as POEGuy007#2677, please fix DX12 patch as it broken OBS streaming for POE1

Ditto on the DX12/OBS issue. OBS does not recognize the PoE window in DX12, still does in DX11.

I had to stream with DirectX 11 today. The graphics are horrible, and it also causes screen freezes. Please revert the patch or investigate the issue.
On DirectX12 I had ZERO ISSUES!

Any news on the constant Lag/Disconnects?
Thank you.

directx 11 and vulcan are very lag/few fps sometimes... and ot 1 fps and frozen screens (but i can move my mouse, my life bar still decrease/increase), i just cant see anything and need relog and spend a portal... sometimes ofc i lost xp too.

in directx 12 its still worst, game goes to 5 fps in character screen and karui shores take 4 min to load, when loads its goes to all black screen except for 'npc/waypoint' names.

please fix it, its totatlly unplayble.

ps.: in memorie maps are still worst to play then normal maps, the frozen screen occur much often than not memorie maps.

Since the secret of atlas update, i cant enter the game. It puts" conexion error, there is a new patch. Restart path of exile" I have checked that the game is fully updated and my wifi works correctly in all other games, how do i solve it?
