Loading is faster, but in game performance are actualy worse?

It's jittery as ♥♣♦☻ for me as well, loads up quick but that's where the good things end.

Has something changed with the game from yesterday? I don't think I've seen any updates, but I was playing last night just fine, and today the performance is horrible. It's like every mob is a Perandus pack, but sometimes even worse, causing long freezes that eventually kick me out to the main menu.

What's worse, the game started frequently freezing completely, forcing me to restart, and making it unplayable. I've had none of these issues yesterday.

Here's to hoping for a quick fix.

Same Problem here, especially when entering a new map the lag is crazy for like 10sec. Never had those problems before and loading times were just as fast on my ssd...

definitly MUCH worse performance since the update!

Yes, launching the game is faster, but crashed before i got the screen in game or lot of lag at the start

I'm having periods of time where the screen locks up for several seconds all throughout the zone. No amount of time waiting for the background loading helps. I've tried everything I can think of and suggestions from others. And this isn't internet connection lag, there's no change to my latency.

It's a sad day when I have to go play something else instead of PoE when PoE was my go to game when other games were being shit.

Can't play the game now because of the lagging. I rather have a 5 min launcher than not being able to play the game at all.

the game is constantly stutter in motion thats so annoying

may as well delete POE because this problem makes it unplayable

dont expect any response GGG has shown time and time again they could care less about connection problems

This isn't a connection problem though.

This problem arose when they changed how the game is loaded. I never had a problem like this until the patch.
