Natalia_GGG - Path of Exile 2 ExileCon Qualifiers Begin Next Week

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 13:24:06 -0700

It's finally happening! The ExileCon Path of Exile 2 Qualifiers kick off next week, culminating in a live final where the top racers from all four qualifier events will compete for the championship title in New Zealand.

The competition will take place on the following dates, with ZiggyD and Raiz serving as your hosts throughout the event:

Path of Exile 2 Qualifier Event Times and Dates

Qualifier One - Aug 06, 2026 2:00 PM (PDT)
Qualifier Two - Aug 13, 2026 2:00 PM (PDT)
Qualifier Three - Aug 20, 2026 2:00 PM (PDT)
Qualifier Four - Aug 27, 2026 2:00 PM (PDT)

If you're participating in the event, please make sure that your Path of Exile account is linked to your Twitch account. You can do this by logging into your account on the website, then clicking here.

To join a qualifier event, click the "Join" button for the race on the Character Select screen. You'll then be prompted to create a character. Once you've entered the game, your character will remain stationary until the race officially begins.

In each Path of Exile 2 qualifier event, players will race to become the first to defeat Tavakai in Act Four within a Solo Self-Found Runes of Aldur event featuring a fixed layout. While this is not a Hardcore event, dying carries a significant penalty: after each death, you won't be able to move your character for two and a half minutes before continuing the race.

The qualifier events are open to both PC and console players. However, the live finale at ExileCon will be played on PC. Competitors will be able to bring their .build files along with their preferred gaming peripherals with them to ExileCon for use during the finale.

You can find the full ruleset here.

Prizes

The first player to kill Tavakai in each event will receive the following:

Flights to Auckland, New Zealand for the weekend of ExileCon
Accommodation in Auckland for the weekend of ExileCon
Entrance into the ExileCon Path of Exile 2 Race Finale
An Ultra VIP ExileCon ticket
A Demigod's Virtue Unique Helmet

Be sure to join us at twitch.tv/pathofexile to check out all the action!

Good luck, Exiles!

Kelly_GGG - Path of Exile 2: Shader and Device Removed Fixed

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 22:55:12 -0700

We've got some great news to share regarding two technical issues affecting Path of Exile 2.

After a lot of investigation and optimisation, we finally have a significant update on both the long-standing shader loading issues and the "Device Removed" freezes that many players have been experiencing.

To get the fixes, make sure you've updated to the latest NVIDIA graphics driver, 610.88, then give the game some time to rebuild its shader cache. As the graph below shows, the problem only affects Nvidia graphics cards with drivers above 560. The problem has been fixed in driver 610.88, but if you have 610.47 the fix was rolled out automatically around a week ago.

After downloading the new PoE update or updating your driver, you'll experience longer loading times while shaders recompile and you encounter different areas and mechanics again.

Once the shader cache has been rebuilt, performance should settle into a much better place than it was before.

If you continue to encounter shader loading problems or "Device Removed" crashes after updating both your graphics driver and the game, please let us know by posting in the Bug Reports forum along with your system information so we can continue investigating any remaining issues. We've also highlighted the fix in the patch notes here.

We’ve also made a video explaining the issues here:

We know these issues have been frustrating for many of you, and we'd like to thank everyone who took the time to submit bug reports, logs and feedback while we worked through them.

Jatin_GGG - Chaos orb pet is broken :(

Stacey_GGG - 0.5.4e Patch Notes (restartless)

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 20:41:03 -0700

0.5.4e Patch Notes

Significantly Improved shader loading times and reduced size of shaders. This change requires all shaders to be recompiled, so load times will be slower the first time you play the game after this patch.
Fixed an issue where shaders could be slow to load after recovering from a GPU crash when using the Vulkan renderer.
Disabled the Fossilize Vulkan layer when playing on Steam, which fixes an issue where the Steam shader cache could grow to an immense size.
Locked is now the default Vsync setting. The "Adaptive" sync method has some frame pacing problems and is no longer recommended.

This patch has been deployed without restarting the servers, you will need to restart your client to receive the update. Consoles will receive this patch at a later time.

Ringatu_GGG - Lost All Items in all stashes upon migrating all

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 20:22:24 -0700

Hey there, you might try using the Migrate All button shown by the '>>' symbol on the character selection screen to see if you are able to migrate your stash.

You could also try checking your Stash settings to see if 'Hide Remove Only' is checked. If it is checked it may be hiding the Stash Tabs you are looking for and you will need to uncheck this setting.

If you continue to experience issues, reach out to us at support@grindinggear.com and we will be happy to help however we can.

JC_GGG - POE2 XBOX License vs Steam

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 05:22:28 -0700

I'm afraid that early access is platform-specific so if you'd like to play on Xbox you would need to purchase one of the Xbox Early Access Packs. I hope this clarifies things.

Jatin_GGG - Atlas Abyss nodes not working properly

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 21:02:50 -0700

Thanks for your report, this is intended.

Abyssal Depths and Abyssal Troves can only spawn from the final Pit in an Abyss Encounter.
By forcing the final Pit to always be an Abyss Depth using Abyssal Scarab of Descending you're unable to spawn any Abyssal Troves which could be an Abyssal Skitterlock instead.

Novynn - Garena Tags are not being displayed in Trade site

3.29.0b Hotfix 3

Improved the reliability of Lantern auto-placement.

In an upcoming restart patch, items that have more Abyss sockets than their modifiers allow will have those sockets converted to white sockets on login if the Abyss sockets are empty.
Fixed a bug which caused the rare Living Coral golem enemies around Coral Nest encounters to not drop loot or grant experience.
Fixed a bug where Mirages created by Suspend in Time could erroneously create Sacred Wisps.
