How Secrets of the Atlas Launch Went

And another...

Got a "server maintenance" message first time I tried to log back in, one sec later it was "back to normal".
Just got a disconnect and lost the portals from the Exarch, who has less than 5% hp left, thanks

I'm not sure you investigated the real problem: the update code. The mac client is unusable since the the update:




This is happening on Intel, M2, and M3 Macbook Pros, with a standalone Mac client. Not going to dual boot these, it would be great to get acknowledgement of this problem and that a fix is in the works. Thank you!

Edit: This workaround actually works!:

"

- Kick off update. It will fail with a message that POE has quit unexpectedly or that the file is damaged.
- Go into the Path of Exile.app directory (/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile). Library is a hidden file, so unhide it first.
- Move the .app file to Trash bin.,
- Check if there is an update.dat and Hashcache.dat file. If so move them to the Trash bin too. Leave Content.ggpk alone.,
- Empty the Trash bin,
- Check System settings -> Privacy&Security -> Security. If there is a message about Path of Exile being blocked click on "Open anyway". This should then go away.,
- Restart the update. This should result in the dreaded "File is damaged ..." message. Select "Move file to the Trash bin" but DON'T delete it.,
- Move the Path of Exile.app from Trash bin back to the original folder to /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile/
- Right click and select open (double left click will work too).,
You will get an error message, but it should not be the "File is damaged .." There should be an option to "Open". Select that. The update should now run.
- IF you do get the error message that the file is damaged again select "Cancel". Then check the Privacy&Security tab in System Settings again. The message that POE is blocked may have come back. Select "Open Anyway" and the update should start (you may need to choose "open" from the 3 options you get after selecting cancel after doing this).

Note: The security setting might pop up a few times. You need to make sure it has been removed before the update will run so you may need to check it a few times.

I just wish GGG would communicate instead of giving us stone cold silence. I signed up to kill things and get loot, not play a game of tech support to even run the game (edited)

Yeah, its a new feature of this league ...
Folks, please make use of your Live Update topic?
Last updated 3 days ago at all, going on 5 days regarding the PC version and you had 6 or 7 patches since then that are not listed in there at all. Please either close the thread or use it, but leaving it tagged as live and not using it, as you are currently doing, is trash.
I was assuming you all took the weekend off because nothing happened.
Aaand another heist contract lost due to disconnect. Such fun.
gc
still getting dc, losing all maps, losing all the money and time invested, literally unplayable
Can't even do maps in a row without losing one.
It has become much more stable.
