Path of Exile 2 troubleshooting

Three problems are large enough for their own pages: the window that will not release the mouse, low frame rate, and a server that adds input delay. Steam lists a 100 GB available-space requirement; actual download and installed sizes change with patches.

High ping and input delay

Shader cache location, a 140 GB folder complaint, and “characters not visible on the website” show up in search logs. I do not have a verified folder path for the shader cache, so I am not printing a path that might be from an old client. Character visibility on the website is an account-privacy toggle on the official site, not a graphics bug.

FAQ

How big is the install?

Steam lists 100 GB of available space and recommends an SSD. That is a system requirement, not a measurement of the current client.
