    What's going on with the Servers?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 12:18 PM PST

    For the last six or so hours, we've been having some quite bad server issues. This manifests in several ways: some players getting disconnected from time to time, various actions serverside timing out, and rarely, items being duplicated or destroyed. This news post explains what we know about the situation and our timelines for fixing it.

    This release has seen 11% higher peak player numbers than any previous Path of Exile release, and that would likely be even higher without the server issues. While this would normally be something to celebrate, right now it's causing some big server problems.

    Path of Exile's server architecture consists of a central set of database servers and an arbitrarily large pool of game servers. We can add more game servers easily (and have to vary that number constantly to take into account player numbers), but the database servers are much harder to change.

    For the first time since 2013, our database servers are overloaded. This is manifesting as various database actions occasionally failing (which can include player saves). While it's still possible to play normally 99% of the time, that 1% where it fails is really annoying for players right now and we're very sorry about that. We have load-tested with bots to a massive scale before and didn't run into this issue, so that's certainly going to prompt some investigation.

    The save failures can also, in some rare circumstances (that can't be controlled by players), duplicate items. We don't need reports about this because we understand the mechanism behind it and it isn't intentionally abusable. It's definitely concerning but will stop happening once the server problems are resolved soon. Technically there's a 50% chance it deletes the item and a 50% chance that it creates a duplicate, and players have no control over when this occurs. This has only happened a few times so far and does not warrant an economic rollback (as scary as it sounds at first glance).

    We're not asking for help with the database problem - I'm sure there are many talented database architects in the community who have advice for us based on my quick explanation. We do know what to do, it's just going to take some time. In the meantime, we're ordering some hardware upgrades and plan to put this in place as soon as possible. This may involve a quick realm restart or some downtime, and we'll keep you posted with updates to this thread as we get a better idea of timing.

    We're going to delay the release of the Warlord Mystery Box (which would normally be taking place right now) until tomorrow. Thanks again for your patience. Aside from this terrible server problem, this has been our favourite launch so far and we can't wait for things to be smooth again.

    Trigger Order Of Skill Gems Has Changed! Its Very Bad! Chest Triggers First!

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 10:52 AM PST

    Gem trigger order has been changed to Chest - Main hand - Off hand - Gloves - Helmet - Boots

    I just finished the acts with my dark pact spellslinger. I was using four links the entire time and had dark pact in my gloves. I got a tabula and I noticed that something was very wrong. Dark Pact targeted me first when socketed in the chest. After some testing, I have determined the new order of triggers and it basically destroys Dark Pact Spellslinger as a build. Since chest triggers first, there is no way to summon skeletons first and have a 6 link dark pact.

    GGG, if you read this please revert or at least explain the change. This seems like such a random change that I am really hoping it was an accident and can be reverted. I am going to report this as a bug and hope I get a response somewhere.

    PSA : YOU CAN TRADE / STEAL OTHER PEOPLES ATLAS WATCHSTONES

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 08:00 AM PST

    TLDW - Do not do conq maps in public partys, you can have your watchstones stolen and I dont believe there is a way to get them back, Zana doesnt give you the option to reclaim them

    Probably abusable as hell - a few friends farm easy watchstones and trade them to a single guy - instant awakener level 8?

    CRASHES. New Discovery/Solution. Reason why the crashes are happening!

    Posted: 16 Jan 2021 06:23 AM PST

    So I have been messing around with trying to find a fix for the past 12 hours and I can say that almost nothing works. I have uninstalled the game, validated files, deleted all filters, reset my PoE documents, messed around with settings. Still the same thing happens resulting me in crashing 20 seconds into the game without exception. EVERY TIME.

    What I have found is that if you change from English to German and any other language I'm presuming the game doesn't crash anymore.

    Solution: As of yet if you're on of the players that is receiving these crashes 20 seconds into the game non-stop and you have tried everything above the only way for you to play is on a different language. But in the end we just have to wait until they fix their game.

    ~Thanks

    Edit: Here is the video for the fix hope it works for youhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjHJ9ZQXDpINOTE: After changing language you must restart the game.

    This new texture/content streaming tech is awful.

    Posted: 15 Jan 2021 11:18 PM PST

    I don't know how GGG managed it, but the game is running worse for me than is ever has before. I've got a GTX2060, a Ryzen 5 3600, 32GB of RAM, an I'm running the game off an M2 SSD.

    Last league, the game was buttery smooth. No hitches, instant loads, all good.

    This new texture streaming tech? Terrible. Loading into a town now takes a good 6-7 seconds before anything is visible and I can see items in an inventory. Loading into a new area or map takes like 5 seconds past actually being in it and moving around in it, where everything slowly goes from super low res to the high settings.

    Even then, the first time I load another texture in an already loaded area (for example, using Orb of Storms) causes a slow/hitch and the texture slowly up-reses. This is also super terrible when enemies load into the area for the first time as I'm moving through a Heist for example.

    None of these things were issues for me last league. How did GGG manage to do this?
