I have contacted your support team multiple times about these issues and clearly pointed out that the hardware is not actually being fully utilised. I cannot believe you made me go through so much troubleshooting while you knew about the CPU utilisation.

Who does that? Contact support about not using all cores of your CPU? Really? Well, apparently you, lol.

And perhaps the support people were not so well versed in the fact that PoE was single threaded?

Did you not see the recent 2.3.0 update in June about the audio engine being replaced and now sound rendering could use a different thread? How could you be surprised by this announcement unless you didn't follow news a month ago?

i'd hate to throw a spanner in the works but maybe this needs to be thoroughly tested
before roll out? I just updated to new patch it works great.. until the client crashed
and 10% xp gone on my lvl 90 toon, in a daily low quest.. sucks to the max
so any support out there can trace back the logs and give me back this 10%? it took days
to level this just fyi.

Nothing mentioned about horrible laggy servers? US servers, London, Singapore... Look at Reddit, tons of people are complaining about lags and disconnects, why all of this is being so very well ignored? Please do something, thanks

Dude, seriously?

Do you even understand the difference between the client performance and the network performance?

Let me explain.

Client performance: stuff that the game tells your CPU and GPU to do, to render frames, effects, lots of things happening on the screen. If this is poorly optimized the game will be slow because your client (your PC) is slower than the theoretical simulation ran on the server. This is bad because PoE should not be as resource-intensive. This is what they're trying to describe in this post.

Server performance: how fast server-synchronized information (in case of lockstep = everything (with small caveats)) is synched with your client. This depends on:

1) Your network card.
2) Your CPU.
3) Viruses you might have on your system.
4) Your ISP.
5) Proximity to your closest PoE datacener.
6) Your ISP.
7) Your ISP.

You get my point.

It's biased, sure. But this has been my experience in the last 4+ years of playing PoE:

1. Blame lack of SSD.
2. Blame CPU.
3. Blame GPU.
4. Blame ISP.

In that order. And #1 is the most significant factor BY FAR.
Get your SSD.
