I pretty much just spike to 0 FPS every 20-30 seconds regardless of what's happening. Any sort of effects rendering for the first time on a map = 2-3 seconds of lag. This is REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY a problem when you open a map and get swarmed and your game freezes for 2 seconds. ATI 5850HD btw. It's almost unplayable now, it's just so laggy it's not fun at all. And to the guy talking about burning patches, yes, that map mod just completely obliterates my GPU. I reroll any map with it because it just turns the game into a 10 fps clusterfuck. I've tried any number of solutions, I currently run a game I should be able to run easily with the textures set to 3 in the config ini, in a smaller resolution than my native resolution, with a variety of performance options enabled using RadeonPro and I still get HORRIBLE lag. Playing with textures at 3 is like playing some pre-alpha game from the late 1990s, but it makes no really noticeable difference in performance so I might just turn them back up. This implies it's not something wrong with anything we as users can mitigate. Exactly that! Radeon 4650 HD here. Playing solo as well, doesn't matter how many mobs i encounter, either it being 1 or 25, frame drops to 0 for 1-3 seconds every 20-30 seconds. I am trying as hard as i can with that, but i am exhausted. That's the ONLY thing that can kill me in the game, i wont even die out of a desync, but the freeze is what kills me. No fixes I've tried worked. Please, do something guys, this is unbearable. Exact same card, exact same issue. Really want a fix for this.. between this and desync/client.exe crashes, I can't even gain any XP anymore. Ice Shot, Poison Arrow, Discharge. Those three = me dying. i too fas fo youuuuuuu Last edited by Duskbane#4733 on Apr 18, 2013, 10:55:33 AM	Posted by Duskbane#4733 on Apr 18, 2013, 10:51:23 AM Quote this Post

After the initial fps drop, the frequency of spikes seems to increase. I can play WoW and D3 all day without a single issue so I'm certain this is on GGG's side. Omg i have exactly that! Nvidia 560 ti here. So the game runs perfectly fine, and all of a sudden my FPS drops (it's a straight vertical line) instantly from 50fps to 2-5 fps for about 10 seconds, then goes perfectly smooth again. It's really really annoying. I've monitored my GPU usage, and it goes down to almost 0% when the fps is low. Then goes back up again. edit: and it's not overheating, i'm monitoring this aswell.

Today I bought a HD7770. My reward was that within 20min of playtime I lagged and froze my 78 hc ranger to death. No more Path of Exile for me.	Posted by lagrangian#3625 on Apr 27, 2013, 3:47:42 PM Quote this Post

I started playing again after a breake of 2 Month. Before these 2 Month i had never lags !! After the breake of 2 Month ( and since new patches released in the 2 month i dont played ) it started to lag !!! So maybe a Prolem of the Game ! I re-install the game.... but it still lags, here a little picture about the fps drop i have http://s14.directupload.net/images/130428/tgsbo75r.png <--- No virus or sth. like this =) Last edited by TheMinimi#1895 on Apr 28, 2013, 3:55:58 PM	Posted by TheMinimi#1895 on Apr 28, 2013, 3:48:28 PM Quote this Post
@TheMinimi It sure is. The card runs smooth and fine for any other and btw much more demanding games. Pretty damn sad considering that I upgraded to have a better Path of Exile experience.	Posted by lagrangian#3625 on Apr 28, 2013, 7:00:01 PM Quote this Post
