Can't load into any character.

Title says it.

I can log in, select a character, and then it just spins forever. Definitely not frozen. Gear spins, tips/hints cycle.

I've gone so far as to reinstall the game, to no avail.

Same issue here.
Even tried changing Servers, and lowering settings..
This is frustrating..

Same here!



This capture is of a new Character.

The rest of my characters has the same behaviour.

I have tried to change the server too.

I cannot paste my log/LastClient :(

Changed from Vulkan to DirectX12 and it fixed it for some reason..

It worked! thank you :D

I have tried to change to Vulkan again in the game and it doesn't work :(

What a pity, I see the game better with Vulkan, but I can play with DirectX12.

Flipping from Vulkan to DX12 just causes the game to freeze as soon as I select it. Audio still plays, but that's it.

Same issue here, worked fine yesterday. I've tried reinstalling, switching to DirectX11/12 from vulcan, turning multi-threading off, different servers, basically everything a bunch of the previous threads on the infinite load have said fixed their issues, all to no avail.

Same issue here.

I use an Intel CPU and a Radeon graphics card.

After logging in and selecting your character, when I try to start, the gear spins endlessly.

When attempting to switch from Vulcan to DirectX12, the same issue occurs where only sound plays while the game freezes.

While the gear rotates endlessly, the sound alone continues to play as if the loading had finished.

I tried updating Windows 11,
updating and downgrading the graphics driver,
clearing the shader cache for DirectX 12 and Vulkan,
reinstalling PoE2,
and changing servers,
but none of these resolved the issue.

Incidentally, no updates to Windows or drivers were applied between when it worked and when it stopped working, so the environment hasn't changed at all.
