Any ETA on fixing these ridiculous AMD FPS drops? (e: Nvidia cards affected as well!)

lol i dont even know where to start,good luck dude

Bump.

I had a very old video card, it was a Nvidia 250 GTS. It could handle the game on low settings fine, then I upgraded to a Radeon 7950 3GB OC.. well I can run ANY fucking game with max settings, like ANY GAME. But cant run POE for shit, Ive tried every single solution you can ever imagine(fresh windows install, multiple drivers downloads, --nosound and all this BS). And the funny part about it, is that it doesnt matter what resolution Im running nor graphics settings. IT WONT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. The game is always spiking and incosistent fps when casting skills. I play in the hardcore league, and when it comes to party in maps.. I just cant.. So for now im quitting cuz its too dangerous the way the game is for now. And if any admin or dev EVER read this post, dont try to reply saying its my fault or any BS. Cuz your game is broken, and MOREOVER I Supported your company for buying microtransactions. You should have some respect and fix this crap that has been happening with hundreds of ppl. So sad.

Bump.

Can't play in a party that isn't entirely EK. I have no problem running Far Cry 3, Dota 2, Starcraft 2, Hitman, Skyrim, etc. on my 3870 ATI card. I know it's old but if there's absolutely no problem with these AAA games that look so much better, I feel something should be done about this.

my point exactly. I had problems running the game.Instead of whinging on about it like its everyone else's fault i bought a new card to play the game after i had exhausted all other options. You sound like a child throwing a fit.

Translation:
My car had no tires when i bought it, but instead of whining i just bought a new one and let the seller keep my money for the first one.
You Sir sound like a stupid person and i'm sure everyone agrees on that.

Can we get back on topic now? I think you made a fool of yourself enough for today - not even being able to read that several PCs and cards produce the same problems, as soon as random configuration combinations occur - not every similar Radeon XXXX or Nvidia XXX runs the game smooth or poorly, so it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Don't bother, these forums are infested with fanboys who will deny left and right that there is a problem. Just look at other posts on the forum, someone mentions bad performance and they get some bullshit story about how their videocard must be out of date, even though it runs better looking / less intensive games without any problems. For a real laugh, mention the problem ingame; people will fly in to defend GGG and insist that it must be your computer because the game is running fine for them and if it's fine for them no one else could possibly have a problem.

I was able to solve the fps drop problem for a while with some obscure fix I found on the forums but since the last couple of patches the game is once again unplayable. It's become apparent that GGG won't (or more likely can't) fix the problem, and with people like this around they will never feel the need to do so anyway.
