1. The patcher says “Could not overwrite executable with new patched executable or "Timed out waiting for patching process to exit"
Go into your Path of Exile folder, usually in Program Files/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile.
Make sure you have a file called Client.tmp
Remove your Client.exe file, and rename Client.tmp to be Client.exe
That should solve the problem!
If this happens every time you patch, you may want to check that your firewall or virus scan aren't causing problems for the game client.



2. The Patcher freezes and crashes every time.
This is usually caused by Pack Corruption. Your first step would be to run the Pack Check, followed by patching the game again. If that fails, you’ll need to remove the content.ggpk file and reinstall the game. If a fresh copy of the game is still having errors, this usually means that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is sending you a corrupted copy of the game files that they have cached, or your virus scan is preventing the game from patching. Downloading the game on another system and copying it over would be your best bet. Please email chris@grinding-gear.com with the name of your ISP, and we'll try and figure out which provider has bad cached copies of the game.

 

3. The Patcher is unable to connect
Check your connection, and make sure you’re still able to connect to pathofexile.com. You may need to contact your Internet Service Provider.


4. The Patcher stops with an error at a random point
The patcher will continue from where it left off, the % value it shows is the remaining download. This may happen if you lose connection for a second, but should go through eventually. If it is too frequent, check your firewall, virus scan, and if that still doesn’t help contact your internet provider, or download on another connection.
