Map Exploration and Mini-Map Reset Issue

Dear Support Team,

I’ve encountered an issue while playing Path of Exile 2 related to map exploration and the mini-map:
1. After exploring a map and opening a portal, if I return to the map within 2 minutes or less, the mini-map’s exploration progress (the “fog of war” I cleared) resets entirely.
2. Although the map exploration resets, defeated monsters and cleared areas do not respawn.
3. This forces me to re-explore the map entirely from scratch every time I return, which affects the gameplay flow and navigation.

This feels unintended, as it disrupts the continuity of exploration. Could you please confirm if this is a known issue or an intended feature? If it’s a bug, I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for all players.

Or is there any solution you can tell me?

thanks for your help.

By the Way i love the game :-)

Any progress on that bug? I'm experiencing the same and it really spoils the fun of exploration.

Not yet :-(

I got the same issue. No news yet ?

I had this problem for the first time on December 31st, 2024, in Act 3. I only went to the Temple of Chaos briefly to activate the WP, went back to the Chimera Wetlands and they were reset. I play on the PC, the Steam version.

Hi there,

I’m on Console / PS5 and I have the same bug now for the 2nd time.

The first time it happened, I thought it was related to an error that had shown up. The error said something to the effect of “Un expected error has occurred” but then let me play on.

This time, however, no error and all of a sudden my mini-map gets reset the way you described.

The first time i fixed it by re-installing the game after trying everything else. So now for the 2nd time I’m re-installing the game.

I understand it’s early access so there is much grace. I just hope they get it figured out.
