I am a new player trying to get the loot filter to work, I just used a ladder one off of the PoE website and clicked "follow" but when I try to load it in game it gives me the error pictured. When I click the folder icon, that is the location it loads... Not sure how to fix it. If it matters, I am playing through Steam, and the game is installed on my F Drive.
#File Not Found / Filter Fails to load?

non-ascii characters in the file path (the squares)
Not sure how they showed up, I just clicked follow on the website
your Windows username I assume
if you click "open folder" in the filter game settings, and then copy the path of the folder, what is that path?
It is shown on the third picture. F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Path of Exile\the chinese letters\MyGames\Path of Exile... Not sure why it is adding the chinese letters... I assumed that was the game doing that
ah, your Steam username perhaps
Hmm, shouldn't be it is just Cereal Killer
perhaps try using the standalone client instead of Steam
Hmm, ok. Was just gonna use it for ease of steam link, but I can try it to test the theory, and if that fixes it at least I know where to look and try to fix it
the filter folder path seems like it got messed up, I don't know why... as far as I know it should always C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile on Win10/Win11
maybe it is different on Steam
GGG support may be able to help you also
OK, thank you for trying, at least I have a backup plan to try, and if it works, at least I will know where to start
not 100% sure but i doubt it. i used the steam version sometimes too and dont think i had the issue. plus if that were the case, we'd see this issue a LOT more often.
but yeah this is 100% a GGG issue since there is no "input" from filterblade or its users that can cause this issue when syncing.
especially since we're talking about following the ladder filter if i see that right
After looking at it some more, and trying out the stand alone version, I found out that the "Documents" folder in the registry was wrong. After I edited it back and replaced the original Documents folder with a new one it works as intended. Thanks for all the info and advice 🙂
