Fog of war resetting starting today

This happened to me a few days ago as well, and I asked around and did research to no avail until I just gave up and reinstalled – which worked like a charm.

This happened to me as well.
Happened first yesterday before the ....e version.

Whenever I TP back to town or die, the fog of war on the map comes back. If TP only, fog of war is back but the monsters not coming back and items on the ground still - so it not reseting the map just the fog of war.

This is pretty annoying on big maps, I do not wanna TP to town because I lost where I was on the map...

I'm playing on Playstation 5.

I needed to relaunch the game with the today's patch but it is still happening

I have it now too :(

Same issue here. PS5 Pro.
Started a couple/few days ago...not exactly sure of the timing. I thought it might be something to make Act 3 harder, but then a buddy of mine said what I was experiencing should not be happening. Thus, my research and finding this thread. Re-installing "fixed" the issue (will see if it comes back over time).

I have the same exact issue, and having to reinstall every time it happens will be tiresome eventually. Hope the reinstall works, I have high hopes xD

I can confirm this happening on PS5 as well it started yesterday for me.
The fog of war resets the instance I load another zone.

Gate to town, take the portal back and the fog of war has reset.

Corpses and look are still on the ground in the now covered areas.

This makes mapping a non started for me unfortunately and redoing the campaign with some of huge zones is now impossible.

Ive run in the same issue. Nothing worked. Saw the tips of reinstalling or try launching other game. I tried Destiny 2. I let it fully start up and travelled to the tower (hub area) so that it was fully launched. This fixed the bug for me. Just posting for others who are looking for a game to try to alleviate the bug before doing a full reinstall.

Same here. It is annoying if anything. If the same occurs on PC you can clear some temp folders to fix the problem. I don't know if Sony has a policy against or if its technologicaly possible to temper with console games files but it would be great to have a button in options menu to fix it that way.

Bump. This is a very annoying bug.

Happily, there is an easier temporary fix than reinstalling.

You just need to launch a different game. Not all games work.

Here are the steps:

1) Fully close PoE2

2) Launch a different game, all the way to the opening menu

3) Fully close that game.

4) Relaunch PoE2.

If it doesn't fix the map issue, try a different game. D4 is known not to work. Older games seem to have a higher success rate. Personally I use an old Star Ocean game (PS4 release of PS2 game).

Never knew about this for poe1, but tried it with cyberpunk as the other game and it worked like a charm.
Hopefully this info saves a lot of reinstalls for people.
