Here is what fixed it for me. Step by Step, it will take a long time so do it on a day off.

1. Delete all Shader files of POE
2. Run the GPPK file with a defrag program, you can find one specially designed for poe, here at the forum. I went from almost 20GB to 15GB.
3. Run Defragger on your whole PC (takes many hours if you did not do that before)


It took me about 15 hours yesterday, but now my game runs fine again. The loading times of 5 minutes + are gone, moving from one map to another is faster, lag spikes have improved, my hdd is not spinning all the time causing big stuttering in game.


this is ofc only a fix for HDD users, SSD´s should not be defragmented for obvious reasons.

I don´t know what GGG did in 3.6 that it caused such a mess, but if you don´t want to wait for their fix, try mine. At least for me, it has worked.

I took these steps, but only had two Betrayal encounters since. I was able to complete them with minor stuttering, but nothing too drastic. I think this works, but I will report my next encounters.

I deleted all of the "ShaderFiles" folders and ran the poe defragger, which you can find here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/28060 . I have yet to defrag my hard drive however.
