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

after last C patch game work worst than pre 2.3

thx
2 dayz of good perfomance is gone

I have the same thing. Gameplay consatntly choppy on all gateways both fps and latency numbers look like a rollercoaster. It worked fine in previous leagues
Win 7 64bit 8 GB RAM Nvidia geforce 610m same setup since 1.2

Well at last good thing im not the only one... My preformence is like roller coaster since last patch. I got bored of constant Deaths cuse of letency spikes ... ill pass till they fix it.

This update is bullshit...seriously holy christ the client is unbelievably laggy now.

My PC is i7 2600K / GTX 460 / 4GiB DDR3 / SSD / Ubuntu through PlayOnLinux, I confirm massive lag and frame rate drops. Everything is okay when there is no action on screen, as soon as some animations start or there is any serious fight, I'm on 0-3 FPS with as much as 3s per frame. Haven't played in a while but last time it was POE 2.1 on the same machine and setup and everything worked perfectly.

I am afraid i have to join the queue of people having insane lag issues..

I also have to say that it is rather shocking and dissapointing that not a word comes from GGG even so there are many pages in this thread with people having this issue!

Died three times now, everything runs smooth and then all of a sudden hell breaks lose and it's as if i was playing with 1 fps.

Really dissapointed, not that it makes any difference but hey, i joined the queue of laggish!

This

Play in Windowed Fullscreen with VSync if experiencing FPS spikes/Stuttering/Sound popping.

I have a modest system which could run PoE decently well pre-2.3. After 2.3 released I was constantly getting fps spikes, stuttering, sound problems, and overall it was unplayable.

After playing around with the settings I found that Windowed Fullscreen + VSync solved all my problems, period. Now the dynamic loading system is a good thing for me as load times really are faster and it is actually playable.

I suspect that there is a problem with the dynamic loading system loading sounds and textures when given a fullscreen context. Hopefully this helps someone out there.

Notes: To get PoE to fill the entire screen, you may have to hide the Windows Task Bar (Right Click on it > Properties > Auto Hide), set PoE to Windowed and then back to Windowed Fullscreen. Also enable the "Confine mouse to Window" option in the UI settings for PoE.

Ok, I've made some tests and I guess I found the main issue (at least for my PC).
1. Prophecy monsters. Any quest monsters that appear after prophecy spawn cause constantly fps spikes. No matter if other resources were preloaded and you've waiting 5+ minutes, that pink bitches are still "loading" making a whole location unplayable untill you find and kill them all. So the main recommendation - don't seek prophecies at all until GGG fix it.
2. Preloading works "once per act". So if you preloaded a4city and TheHarvest, then kill Malachai and go to a1, PoE will start preload again. You just have to wait 2-5 minutes in every new city and new act location every ~30 minutes. If you won't wait, you'll get mass preloads again and again. Well, it sucks.
3. ShaderCache folder with tons of 2.2 files. Delete them all, it helps a bit.
