Finally Some Performance

After trying for a long time, I finally found the perfect configuration to play PoE with acceptable lag! I'm now getting constant 20-30 fps! (Lies, I still have some ultra rare lag spikes, but it works)

This is my screen: 200x150p



I wish I was joking... This is how I play PoE. If anyone else has huge performance issues and need to know how to do this, I will post it here.

Enough people have pm'ed me that I now understand just how big of an issue performance is. I'm unsure if this tutorial will still qualify this forum thread for the "general discussion" area, so for the step-by-step on how to do this (as well as any updates I might come up with), please refer to https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2033751

For the nice and lovely people who sent me tips on how to get a cheap computer

Thanks a bunch, it was alot of fun looking through those messages just to know that the community still cares. Sadly, I still can't afford those, specially because my budget for xtra spending is 2$/week and most of the advices only apply to US (and I am brazilian).


PS. If anyone knows how to make the text smaller, please teach me. It's really the only thing getting in the way now. YES PRESSING Z DOES WORK BUT THAT DOSENT HELP WITH THE MAYHEM LOOT.


As for anything else, feel free to pm me!
Tala Moana Mother*****rs!

cool. Wish I could play like that.

good old megadrive graphics

At this point you should probably get rid of this 386sx / matrox mystique PC.

Yeah I should, but I won't be able to afford a new computer for the next couple of years, at least. Here in Brazil computers are crazy expensive. Well, at least for a jobless college student (can't work, college takes up my whole day 8am-18pm + 1h30m x2 travel time)

Someone do a go fund me to get this man a decent rig.

This looks actually amazing. Brings back memories.

:D

I like flasks...

People always bring up Runescape, but the sort of non-antialiased-text reminds me a lot of PlayStation One. I'm highly tempted to try this graphics setup one day.

Updating the post, I'll post a written tutorial on how to get the graphics THAT low, for the people that have been pm'ing me.
