Path of Exile Addresses Server Issues and Account Security
Grinding Gear Games updates Path of Exile players on ongoing DDoS protection adjustments, account security measures, and visual flickering investigations.
An update covers technical problems affecting Path of Exile, touching on server instability, account security concerns, and engine flickering.
Server Stability and DDoS Protection
Efforts to improve DDoS protection have occasionally blocked legitimate traffic, causing game instances to close unexpectedly. The team is working with server providers to finalize protection measures and eliminate these closures.
Account Security Investigation
Reports of compromised accounts have increased recently. An investigation found no evidence of a security breach on the game servers. Players who log in through Steam but previously used the standalone client are reminded that their old email and password remain active credentials.
Visual Flickering Status
The engine team is investigating user interface and gameplay elements flickering in and out during hectic combat situations. An update regarding this bug is expected next week.
Why this patch matters
The studio is tackling infrastructure hurdles and urges players to secure their credentials while server-side fixes continue.
