BUG REPORT

Summary:
Client-server desynchronization: game freezes, loading gears appear, minimap progress resets

Preconditions:

User is logged into Path of Exile 2 and has an active session.

Steps to Reproduce:

Launch Path of Exile 2.

Play maps (example: endgame mapping) for about 15–30 minutes.

Observe game behavior.

Actual Result:

Client-server desynchronization occurs.

Game freezes, “loading gears” icon appears.

In solo play: game continues running, player can pause, but minimap progress is wiped.

In co-op: during freeze, character starts running in a random direction, which can result in death and failed encounters.

Expected Result:

Stable connection without desynchronization.

Minimap progress should remain intact.

Character should remain under player control.

Severity: Major

Priority: High (Functional /UX bug) — makes endgame content nearly unplayable.
