hard time starting a game

each time i open poe it cant load for a few times and gets stuck with like 2gb ram but after a few times starting it finally loads, it started after 3.14.0c patch

I have the same issue.
I need to start POE 3-4 times until it finally starts.
This issue started with the little.hotfix from yesterday.

When closing the game it crashes too. Need.to kill it.

Using win7. 5GB RAM

Same. Win10 (with latest update installed), 6 GB ram, stand-alone client.

I'll try to download game through steam, maybe it will help.

UPD. Steam client have shown much better performance. Highly recommend for any low spec PC. Though game started only from second try.

Next time it happens I'll try to upload logs if there will be any.
