POE2 infinite loading screen

• Played POE2 earlier this year, ~120 hours without any problems.
• Picked it back up this month and now I’m stuck in an infinite loading screen.
• After ~5 minutes, the game kicks me back to the login screen.

Tried troubleshooting:

• Reinstalled the game twice
• Cleared shader cache
• Switching from Vulkan → DX12 doesn’t help, its just crashes the game

Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: Radeon 7900 GRE

I Seem to not be able to login either, had zero problems before, but now i'm stuck in loading screen.

Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT

EDIT: I Could actually login, it just took like half an hour! Are the servers cooked in europe or what's causing this?

EDIT2: Now it kicks me back to server select after 10 minutes.

Hello guyz,

Same stuff going on with me, didn't load poe 2 since keepers of the flame started.
Have you figured out how to fix the problem?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500f

Do you think the the latest adrenalin drives may be the cause ?
Or something else

I came back to play the game when the new season trailer released.
It takes literal 3-4 minutes to load into the hideout...
Also if i die in the map it takes the same amount to load me back at a checkpoint...
What in the actual fuck is going on with this game. It gets worse with each update.

Hello there,
i got exactly the same problem like you guys. I had to wait ~10 minutes to load my hideout after a few weeks of not playing PoE...

The same thing happened to me. Game used to load quickly (less than 30 seconds), but for some reason now takes several minutes

Doesn't load at all, nothing helps.

For the AMD GPU users
Switched to 25.8.1 adrenalin from 25.11.1 - now its ok - loading quickly as intended.

Had the same issue and was on 25.11.1, downgrading solved it.

Same Problem, POE2 used to work very fine a few weeks ago. Coming back after POE1 to prepare for 0.4, and the game suddenly won't load anymore. I get to the main menu, but it endlessly calculates the shaders (easy to see when you press F1), and attempting to enter the game results in an endless loading screen.

Repaired via steam, no change. Deleted the Vulkan Shader Cache, but there's no change. It just causes even more Shader Compilation CPU Stress, endlessly, and an endless loading screen when I try to enter the ingame.

Tried to change to DX12, game crashes immediately.

Workaround:
I finally managed to switch from Vulkan to DX11, and after a restart, to switch from DX11 to DX12; now the game works again. But there is a heavy problem with Vulkan and the current AMD drivers. In normal cases, Vulkan used to work better than the DX Versions, sad to see that this is broken now.
