In the wake of a major outage caused by a Path of Exile 2 update, developer Grinding Gear Games apologizes for the disruption, explains what went wrong, and says it’s taking measures to prevent a repeat of the issue.

Fortunately, GGG was able to recover things in relatively good time, and says it has now pinpointed the cause.
