CPU 100% usage after patch

The same thing happens to me... it's impossible to play like this

I have the same issue. Even in main menu CPU usage is 100%

Same issue here, with a decent processor. Played POE on this computer for many years without issues before.

Does anyone have a solution?

Are you guys sure your default graphics processor in WINDOWS is set to GPU?

This can be different than what shows in game.


Windows key > graphics settings > Add Path of Exile

After the app is added click on it and change the Graphics preference to the GPU.
