Path of Exile: Delirium launches in less than a day! We can’t wait to see you traveling through the deadly mists of Delirium, encountering your worst fears and seeking valuable rewards. In this news post, we’ve gathered all the information you’ll need to know about what happens on launch day and information on how to start downloading early.
The realm goes down and patching begins at Mar 13, 2020, 12:00 PM (CDT)
The servers go live at Mar 13, 2020, 3:00 PM (CDT)
The above times are displayed in your local time zone. You’ll need to be logged into your account to see these. To change your local time, go to “My Account”, “Manage Account” and “Edit Preferences”.
If the timezone is displaying incorrectly for you, please disregard the above timer and refer to the countdown on the front page. Three hours before the end of the countdown, the realm will go down and patching will begin shortly after. When the countdown ends, the servers will be live and you’ll be able to join the Delirium League!
The patch size for the update will be around 3.5GB on the standalone client and 10.8GB on Steam. We’ve also made a torrent available for this update. Please keep in mind that this method, while available earlier, makes it a larger update as it includes all the existing client content. When patching begins for Path of Exile: Delirium you’ll also have a few remaining files that you’ll need to update to.
This torrent only includes the GGPK file, so you’ll need to copy it into your actual install folder once the patching server is up, no earlier than three hours before Path of Exile: Delirium launches. Please note that you can’t use this GGPK file with the Steam client.
Path of Exile: Delirium on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will launch on Mar 18, 2020, 4:00 PM (CDT) or at 2 pm March 18th (PDT). Downtime will begin for deployment on Mar 18, 2020, at 2:00 PM (CDT) or at 12am March 18th.
If you’re looking for some extra character slots for your account for launch weekend, we’re running a sale on these right now! Additionally, this is your last chance to get Polaris Mystery Boxes! It will leave the store when our next mystery box enters the store! Keep in mind that if you haven’t taken advantage of it yet, it’s still possible to get a free Polaris Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. NOTE: this is only possible once per account. Additional purchases do not grant additional mystery boxes. If you need some extra points, we recommend checking out the Delirium supporter packs.
By the way, we’ve added more colours and shapes to the Item Filters functionality to give you more options for customizing your filters. You can find them in this news post.
