Try the Game on a Different Server

Path of Exile 2 - Load the Game on a Different Server.png

If you’re encountering this issue while loading a character that's currently in a town, try switching to a different server from the login screen. This forces the game to load a new instance of the town, which can bypass the one causing the crash.

Load a New Instance of a Zone

Path of Exile 2 - New Instance

If you repeatedly encounter this error when loading a specific zone, the game may be attempting to load the same instance containing the issue, causing a crash. You can bypass this by creating a new instance of the zone. Hold Ctrl before clicking on the zone to open a menu that allows you to generate a fresh server instance.

Restart the Game

Since this error appears to be a server-side issue, restarting the game and logging in back again should resolve the problem when entering a new zone. This should also apply any of the latest Hotfixes that the developers release to fix these kinds of issues.
