PoE 2 Server Disconnects
Path of Exile 2, which is still in Early Access, has just released their first content expansion after its launch in December of last year. The most recent update to the game introduced some pretty significant server issues, though. These seem to mostly affect the European servers and are causing frequent disconnects from the server that cause you to lose all progress you have made in that play session. For an online-only game this is pretty significant and makes it basically unplayable for any reasonable person.
On the game’s forums, a workaround has been suggested that, in my tests, seems to have resolved the issue for me. Go to the in-game settings and use the button to open the folder that stores loot filters. In that folder, there is a file called poe2_production_config.ini. Open it with a text editor and search for the following line:

Replace this with:

The latency to the server and general network performance is still a lot worse since before the latest patch, but at least I’m not getting disconnected and lose progress anymore.
