The old ps4 client filters work, but the new filtreblade or filter modifications do not work in the PS5 client. Does reinstalling the game fix it?

I've been using custom filters on the PS5 version for some time.

2 bugs to be aware of:

1) If you use a custom filter, the game will *always* load up with the "default" filter selected (aka no filter). You just need to go into the menu, wait 1 sec for it to load up the custom filter, and select it.

2) If you encounter the local storage bug (which can "brick" filters and/or cause your minimap fog to reset every time you reenter a zone) then you can repair by either reinstalling the game (super annoying), or by simply following these steps:

(EDIT: "bricked" filters means you have your custom filter selected, but it shows all loot as if you were not using a filter at all.)

Fully close Path of Exile.

Launch some other game (not D4... there are a few reports of specific games not working for this, but most "simple" games do).

Fully close that game.

Launch PoE again.

I don't remember who discovered this method, but it has been working great for me.

AFAIK all reports of this method are for the PS5 native client... but it might work on PS4 as well. I haven't tried it.

This seems to be a programming error as custom filters won’t show up when you access options on the title screen thereby going to default as it is at the top in filters

At first glance I would agree that there seems to be a correlation between these two things... but you *can* select one of the Neversink filters there, and (based on my very limited testing), it doesn't remember that selection either.

TBF, I only tried once. Maybe it was some other glitch.

Is it working for you, to select one of the built-in Neversink filters there and then have it remember that filter without having to reselect it on next login?
