Steam offline , no game ?!

I love how non-steam users are actually more butthurt about many players merging accounts then the steam users, who can't now log-in are about the game non possible to launch because of steam hiccup / unannounced downtime.

Seriously, and what if someone is using Xfire or Raptr to launch their games? If you can't add nothing to the topic go and enjoy your unlinked accounts. Good bye sir!


And for the record: because of merging accounts your executable is now called "PathOfExileSteam.exe" and it needs establishing connection via steam platform to run.
I guess asking here for a PathOfExile.exe here would lead to more "lolz omgz nubz" so I, and many other users will affect bandwith, to downlaod 4 GB just for the exe.

I have the same issue. I have been stupid and lazy and used the Steam client, now I cant play. Is it possible to play with that account in a non-Steam client? And if so, how? Logging in with my steam credentials? Sounds strange....

Current version of the PathOfExile.exe is available here. Note that this will expire at some point with a future patch.

You need an account that is a WEB account linked TO Steam. If you have a Steam-Only account, then you cannot use the standard web client to log in as it requires an email and a password, and Steam-Only accounts don't have user passwords.
Awesome, thanks for the info, I hope it will work ^^

Hi there, as Steam is actually down (anybody knows) I created a new Account right here at POE.com.

Now I would like to play and have my previous progress being saves (as I bought some micros too in the past).
Is there anybody from POE support available how might link my account here with my steam account? I can't due to Steam is not working ^^

Kind regards


You shouldn't have created a separate account (or a post in this thread).

Instead, what you should have done (and what you should do now) is email support at the address in the Contact Support link at the top of the page, and ask for their assistance in linking your currently Steam-Only account to be allowed in both Steam and Classic clients. This requires their assistance as it requires them to change the account around. When you email them asking for this change, be sure to include the email address for the account, the Steam information, and a list of characters on the account (name, class, and level if possible).

That's something you should ask Steam, as it is a Steam problem, not a PoE/GGG problem.

Edit: You can also do what I previously suggested and get your account linked to a Classic account, then you can play via either method and don't have to worry about steam being down.

Kudos!

There'e a difference between "merging accounts" and "creating an account via steam".
Personally, I played POE before it was even available on steam so my point of vision on the topic is also biased.
So sorry for the little rant but seriously, bashing people for actually no harm done? sheesh.

Ok so if my account is on steam, can i login to that account through the poe launcher or no? I'm assuming not.. which sucks. Or can i create a new account right now, and then merge it with the steam one and be able to access characters that way?

If your account is on Steam then you CANNOT log into the normal PoE launcher unless you've had your account converted to a Classic account linked to Steam as I said before.
