I could get it to work with a different windows account that has no space or non-letter symbol in its username. My original username on windows comes from my live.de account and is basically my full name. With fake name containing exactly the same nonletter symbols my Path to "Path of Exile" basically looks like that:

"C:\Users\Petró Fakename\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile"

My current user that works looks like:

"C:\Users\pfakename\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile"

My developer-minded guess would be, that something change in Path/File Handling in PoE so that it cannot handle Unicode in Paths anymore.

Maybe some of you can reproduce that solution.

Ok so, this worked for me ..... Waiting for the fix now ty !
Same exact problem. My Windows account name is in Russian. The problem started with 3.10 update.

Things I've tried that didn't help:
- Full reinstall
- Run as administrator
- Made sure that I have security access to minimap folder
- Added the game folder and the documents/My games/Path of Exile folder to Windows defender trusted folders.

Hopefully the issue will be solved quickly.

This worked for me too - thx!

My default windows username has an 'í' character in it. Had to create a new account and the minimap issue is fixed.

Hopefully GGG fixes it soon, though.

Maybe try the workaround described in the updated first post or in the post somewhere on page 2. if it works, pls update us :)
it will probably work but i dont want to cause of path of building, steam etc, everything needs to get password etc. i dont want to do that and i have special letter in my name :) so thats probably cause of the problem
