I would recommend updating your virus definitions and trying again.

bump for awareness

MalwareBytes keeps killing the game when switching between zones.

From what I can see, the AV detecting that the game is communicating to the IP 87.117.229.29. It seems historically (2015) that this IP has been used as a Command and Control server for a botnet and is on a lot of block lists.

Same issue, any update on why MalwareBytes is doing this?, First problem with path of exile being blocked in all my years of playing.

EDIT: Finally got to load into char (act 5 town) when i changed from London Gateway to Amsterdam, without being blocked by MalwareBytes.

Same issue. Tried both the London and Amsterdam gateway. Malwarebytes not happy with either.

Edit: Was loading into a London instance when I tried to change. Amsterdam seems fine. London however Malwarebytes does not like.

Am also getting this issue with Malwarebytes. Did anyone find a fix, any updates on this?

Its the server location, either GGG changes server IP or you must pick a different location. Since you play in Europe, there are plenty other servers to choose from.

MB is very strict in these type of things, that´s why it´s such a good program. If an IP, Website ... did once do something bad, they will blacklist it forever. That being said, you can always modify the setting on your own risk, by creating an exception for said IP or website.
