Since these issues don't seem to be fixed anytime soon, I'll just post my personal solution again here for those who absolutely can't play the game;

Game doesn't run at all on my own mid-ranged system ever since the particle upgrade went live ~6 months ago, so I decided to checkout Geforce Now's cloudgaming service early this league. Started out on their free plan which allows for you to play on rigs equipped with 2080ti's and fairly strong CPU's. Sessions are limited to 1 hour per, but no limit to those at all. Game ran butter smooth even on those free-to-play rigs, so I decided upgrading to a premium membership (queue skip+8 hour sessions on premium rigs) and am now playing on rigs equipped with 4080's and threadripper CPU's. All you need is a good and (most importantly) stable internet connection.

Don't ask me why, but their rigs have no issues whatsoever running the game. Now, is this optimal? No, certainly not. Having to pay a monthly subscription (unless you wanna stay on their free plan with 1 hour sessions) just to play PoE is obviously terrible, but if you have the pocket money for it and the game doesn't run at all on your own rigs for the time being, I highly recommend checking the service out.

That said.... FIX YOUR GAME GGG!

Buying a subscription to a streaming service to make a game playable without insane specs is an *awful* practice.
