Path of Exile 2 never ending loading screens

Bump. Still infinitely loading.

9070xt
7800x3D

Fully updated.

Enable performance Metrics and notice 0 HDD/NVME/SSD activity

Wonder how long before someone listens?

I just changed the Render engine to DirectX11 and it started working, exited game reloaded and works
Exited again got to town changed back to Vulkan and it seems fine now.

So 25H2 "gaming performance" changes affected Render engine

Try it and post if it solves issue :)

same problem i had yday. today i wanted to test again... i thought was a server side issue (milan cooked) it is actually worldwide as it seems to appear today
my ho took 5 fat minutes to load on Frankfurt

dx11 works but when i switch to vulkan again infinite loading

for everyone with new AMD rigs as 9000 series u need to rollback the graphic drivers to 25.10.2 for the game to work again in vulkan

I will repeat third time.

No, you are not stuck with Vulkan.
You can still switch to DX12 (and it would be better than DX11)

[In other words do Vulkan -> DX11 (restart game) -> DX12]

Now that is something (i was lazy to test this out myself)

So, to summarize:
1. Issue is not restricted to 9000 series (there are people with RDNA 3 experiencing same issue)
2. Issue is specific to latest branch of drivers (starting with 25.11.1)

UPD: Vulkan worked on PoE1 after today's patch.
So there is a chance?
But i would suggest you all to use DX12 until queues go down.

UPD2: Friend showed me that new warning. I assume that PoE2 wasn't fixed yet, unlike PoE1?

I came here because my game was also getting stuck in the loading screen. But after about 5 minutes it would disconnect. And now the server is restarting, which means, it was all a network issue from their end most likely rather than the graphics issue you-all are dealing with.

Best of luck, just putting this here for whoever else comes along. In 10 minutes after the server restart it'll probably work. I did clear my shader cache not realizing that they were having a crash.

its an AMD driver issue with 25.11 across the board, most modern titles are struggling with the shader cache issue, downgrading to 25.8.1 or 25.9.1 is the solution.

Then why are Nvidia users affected as well if its limited to AMD users?

Got to use Logic to fix This problem!
