INFINITE LOADING SCREEN - LOCKED OUT CHARACTER - POE2 - PS5

Currently locked out of my huntress. I posted about it in another thread but that might have been for POE1.

I was finishing up in Matlan Waterways and portaled back to the encampment to dump my inventory. Once I tried portalling back, that's when this issue occured which I now can't play the huntress. I tried reinstalling with no success. Not sure what else I can do.

I definitely don't want to create another character, at least for now if this is happening. Not to mention having to do the tedious campaign/story over and over and over and over... etc. Infinite loading screens was a major issue before, but I could at least eventually get back in. Now it seems I'm locked out permanently until GGG issues a fix; hopefully for good.

Support email was useless as they aren't offering technical support that way currently. Hopefully this thread makes some headway. I know it's happening to many others, so with some luck maybe this issue will become a priority.

I certainly won't be playing or dropping anymore cash into this game until these ridiculous bugs are fixed.

Try messing with you graphic setting on the starting screen, often ive noticed crash and infinite loading are a graphical issue that the game doesnt seem to know how to deal with.

So if you get stuck just change the settings.

Well I'll be damned. Not sure how that managed to fix it but I won't question it.

It didn't work at first, but gave it a few more tries and managed to get in. I almost gave up right away because I was just about done at looking at the loading screen and being let down.

I appreciate the suggestion! I'll know for next time.

Doesn't have to be lowering just change graphic type and try again.

Like go from bilenear to nis or go from nis to fsr, you can also try to toggle crossplay off.
