New Engine Patches uses twice as much CPU/GPU yet causes insane micro stutter and lag
" Interesting. I will look into this, i bet its gonna help. I think its due me using a custom shortcut for _64 version of exe cuz before patch i was limiting the cores... i can scrap that now anyway since mutli-threading does some weird shit to me. thnx man edit: also i'm not talking about poe.exe but the shader option within it... I can see the exe in the drop down but there is no setting for shader cashe size there... only in globals Edit 2: and yeah i just checked I see no option on adding that setting to poe.exe settings manually Last edited by AintCare on Aug 6, 2023, 8:00:47 PM

" does your Nvidia utility have separate setting for shader cashe size for each app? | |

I found some idea's on the forum but none helped me. I decided to remove Path of Exile and re-install it. I'm not stuttering as much as I did before, but I lost around 20FPS during gaming and screen becomes a blur at times (too much happening).
It's still adburd the amount of power being used after the new engine. All settings default. This is when I'm idle in Town: https://imgur.com/a/mKVFLSb It's using 30-40% more GPU-power and than before the update. Now the intitial startup of PoE uses 100% of CPU and it goes back to somewhat normal number after 10 second. There is a lot more going on than before. Way more CPU and GPU is beging used. 1 to 2 years ago people would accuse devs for implementing a crypto-miner after a specific "update-for-game-improvements" when they would see numbers like this.

" No. :( Chuter. 44.

Updated my cache_directory in PoE config, which resolved the worst of CPU/Shader lag. Game is playable.
Not sure where the Cache folder was prior/after update | |
" I also set the shader cache to unlimited in the nvidia driver menue and all else application controlled. I just don't get it, why the CPU and GPU usage is quite low despite the low framerate. (Normally the game should force the CPU/GPU to power up until it reaches the 60FPS for Vsync locked?!)  Last edited by Futbeidl on Aug 9, 2023, 4:38:51 PM

" well then that was pointless .... lol Edit: btw even after increasing the cahse size in dirver utility the game keeps over writing cashs files. I'm not qualify to comment if this is good or bad... but it updates these folders few times a min Last edited by AintCare on Aug 7, 2023, 7:44:56 PM

I've tried everything in this thread. Absolutely nothing works. Thanks GGG. Why don't you fix your game so that people can enjoy it. I've uninstalled POE for now. Maybe if you can fix this 6GB death patch I'll consider reinstalling. I've gone from recommendinh POE to my friends to telling them to stay away because of this. Single digit FPS in not very juiced maps that kill me over and over again. I'm so done.
