Wow you guys are able to open the game? Steam and the standalone client both fail to open for me and my friends (M2 Mac). We haven't played at all this league. Have redownloaded/reinstalled multiple times
You can search for steps of how to get the standalone client to work, but the basic summary is that you have to "force" Mac to launch the application, otherwise it just warns they it may damage you computer.
The button to force the launch is in System Settings - Privacy and Security. You need to scroll down to near the bottom.
It also seems that you need to have the main PoE app in the folder where the game data is stored, and not from the usual Applications folder. The folder is typically "/Users/<Your username>/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile.
It takes some voodoo, but it seems that Mac OS keeps trying to clamp down harder on applications that aren't directly in a business relationship with Apple.
It takes some voodoo, but it seems that Mac OS keeps trying to clamp down harder on applications that aren't directly in a business relationship with Apple.
I assume it's because a small independent company like Tencent can't afford the $100 / year apple developer license required to bundle a proper cert.
After updating to the new patch, I am stuck on the launcher connecting and eventually timing out with the message that it is unable to connect to the patching server.
Doing some testing, and log evaluations I have noticed the following. The client is attempting to connect to 10.5.1.253:13014 for patching instead of the usual patch.pathofexile.com:12995
Hopefully this will help identify the issue.
Here is a comparision of startup logs from the previous version and the new 3.26.0c version.
3.26.0b Hotfix

That IP address 10.x.x.x is non-routable. It is generally used for an internal network. Seems like a dev or other environment got rolled into production by mistake
