How to fix Path of Exile 2 not working
Path of Exile 2 is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Verify your game files in Steam
If Path of Exile 2 hangs at 'connecting to login server' while our tracker reads operational, suspect your own install before you search 'is poe 2 down right now' at 2am. Right click the game in your Steam library, open Properties, then Installed Files, then Verify integrity of game files. The scan takes a few minutes. It replaces broken assets, and that one pass clears most launch crashes and login loops without a reinstall.
Switch gateway on the PoE 2 login screen
Pick a closer gateway. Cycle the regions near you until latency drops. If all of them fail at once, watch 0 here before you reinstall anything, since that pattern points at Grinding Gear Games, not your client.
Power cycle the router and test for packet loss
Power cycle the router. Unplug it for thirty seconds, plug it back in, and once you are online again open a command prompt and run ping 8.8.8.8 with the client open; sustained spikes over 100ms or the odd 'request timed out' mean your line drops data somewhere between you and GGG. That kind of loss produces the exact disconnects that make people type 'poe 2 is it down' into search when only their own connection died.
Check your connection and DNS
Open cmd as administrator, run ipconfig /flushdns, and if the login server still refuses the connection, swap your adapter's DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. Then compare numbers: low 0 in the last day plus more than 24 hours since the last outage points at your setup, so work through firewall rules and antivirus exceptions for PathOfExileSteam.exe, since both products like to block the client after a big patch. Cross check a 'poe 2 down detector' page against a 'poe 2 server status' search too. Two agreeing sources beat one.
