[POE2] Long loading screen

Unplayable, tried everything
before patch it was allright, now its just not playable :/ do something ggg

Impossible to load the game, it's just shutdown my pc for no reason ZZZZZ no problem before patch

I can’t even play PoE 1 and 2 now cuz it keeps shutting down my laptop whenever I play the game.
My configuration:
AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX
NVIDIA RTX 3070

Hey,

Had the exact same problem, so I ordered brand new parts, a significant upgrade from before. Changed every component, fresh install of Win11 and PoE 2, but that didn't help. But now it's fixed, finally. What I did: (because I'm not really sure what fixed it)

Disabled shade caching in Steam
Disabled Steam overlay in games
Added Steam client as a trigger port in my router
Added Steam client as port forward in my router

Now, my loading times are, well, acceptable I'd say, about 5-10 seconds compared to 5-6 minutes before.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!

Welp, now I'm stuck on the infinite loading screen (10min+). Tried most of the stuff discussed ITT, nothing seemed to work.

Performance has kinda been ass for 0.3, now can't seem to play it at all.

Will give it a try in the next few days, but otherwise that's the end of 0.3 for me.

The loading screens indeed sucks. Even opening the world map can sometimes take up to 30 seconds. like come on?!

loading is fine at 0.2, now 0.3 seems to be a problem now...any fix?

I could play normally in 0.1. I didn't play in 0.2.

Now with 0.3, I started to have this problem. Loading anything takes forever.

i skiped 0.2 because of this mostly. Just tried 0.3 and it is still the same problem!!! Really?? Almost a year the same problem?? And this problem isnt a low spec issue, because some of my friends have lower specs then me and they dont have that problem. I tried almost all - reinstalled game, changed it allocation from M2 to SSD, tried all options in game. I play game in its own client, not Steam, so i cant try disable shade cashing in Steam...

Especially after dying, get stuck in a loading screen for several minutes or have to close the game.
