Game still won't open on M1 Mac...

For those running a million login attempts on apple silicon chips M1 M2 so on.

Open game, click login as soon as you see the button, but instead of clicking play immediately, let the game sit for a couple of minutes. 2-3 mins seems to be the number for me.

Next click play, the game will crash, reopen the game.

Click login when you see the button, then click play asap.

For me this method, let's me login fine and play for hours without any issues (except for the insane lag issues due to multithreading being disabled). Might be some caching issue, who knows?

Happy logging in Exiles

new patch, new test.

my "30 sec waiting" workaround still works to 99%
latest tested on M1 Max, m3 pro

1.) Start Game/Client with Steam
2.) Wait at login screen and count to 30 (it should not be real 30 sec, but do it. haven't found the correct seconds to w8 yet)
3.) Check Gateways - should all be without showing the ms (login will now fail)
4.) Exit Client / Close Game
5.) Start Game with Steam
6.) Login (you should save your login data - if your to slow to write, you will end at step 2)
7.) Check Templar
7.1.) 1% Chance: if he is blur, log out and start at step 4
7.2.) 99% Chance: if templar has a nice view choose char and play!

more informations:
if you played - congrats! as long as you don't close the client / game, you can relogin and char-swaping as long as you want. if you close the game, you have to repeat by starting at step 1. made some Uber-hillock runs, worked all fine!

Happy Gaming

This also worked for some time. Until the day before yesterday. Now it also keeps crushing at the log-in, with sharp looking Templar.

It is such a pity… poe became my favorite game.

Downloading and trying to install the standalone still crashes instantly upon getting to the 40mb pre download phase. Months now

Steam - still no multithread or any communication from GGG

Game still crashes 100 times before finally logging when using steam.

This sucks - I expected far mor comms from GGG

4 months later still the same issue.

We've been forsaken ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

4 months later still the same issue. crazy ;(

Get off either of the Mac based clients.

This solution works and is free (except for Crossover)

There is a solution - move off the Mac based clients (either steam or the Mac stand alone client) and use the Windows based client (standalone not Steam). There is a how to wiki page that outlines the steps to do so. Each option is free except for Crossover.
