New patch was required, but breaks game

Not too long ago, I was DC'd and forced to install a patch (i.e. I couldn't login without the patch, and it started autodownloading).

Now that I've downloaded the patch, the game still says there's a patch needed before I can play.

EDIT: The downloaded patch on PSN is "version 02.81".

Yup, breaks game. Apply patch game says patch needed. Another 7hr downtime probably.

Yeah after patch, cant login. Says u nede to patch

Same

Same here :( Picked the worst time of the day to login.

"Login Error"
"There has been a patch that you need to updare to. Please restart Path of Exile."

Patch 2.81 Is already installed thanks game.

Error Message after applying the latest patch.

Login Error: There has been a patch that you need to update to. Please restart Path of Exile.

Seems there is now a version mismatch between client and server.

EDIT
It’s just logged me in now

Same problem here

[Removed by Support] this is to be expected EVERY patch from now on.

Same, GGG, are you really not able to test this crap before you roll the patch out to everyone? This is two patches in a row that break the game..

I knew a jumpscare patch would be game-breaking

Me & the bois who didn't update still chillin in-game.
