Weird FPS issues

POE has been running flawlessly on my machine for a very long time now, until tonight's patch. Now, after running smoothly for a period of time, my FPS suddenly crawls to a halt around 2-3 FPS.

Sometimes this seems to happen with no noticeable trigger. But there are several potential triggers that I've noticed. One for sure is opening the passive tree. I was running at a steady 60 fps a few min ago, then pressed 'P' to open the tree, and FPS dropped to < 5 and remained there even after closing the tree. The only way to fix for now is to exit the game and then reopen. After opening, it will work fine anywhere from a couple min to around 15 min before I encounter the FPS drop again.

Sometimes running into a large pack of mobs with lots of effects going triggers the permanent FPS loss, too. Not every time (many times there will be a dip in FPS in this situation as per normal) but sometimes the FPS will drop and remain low until exiting the game.

I have been looking but can't find anything else on my windows machine that could be causing this. And since there are a couple of distinguishable triggers within the game, I currently believe it is related to the most recent patch.

Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately, there are no deadlines for resolving the problem, but work is underway on the correction.

Omfg, I understand Russian and yes... There is no timeline as to when they gonna fix it, just that they are working on it.

The worst thing is that it's evening already in New Zealand and it might be that their work day is over and it's weekend on top of it. I'm not even sure is it worth to expect the fix till next week.

Stupid PoE2 Particle System Patch...

New mute system is another hot garbage.

That lag is what happens when your PC is running at 90%+ memory usage. The game is currently using up WAY too much for Windows 7 users. I can hit 7+ gigs out of my 8 gigs of memory within an hour of playing - which is just about double what should be possible.

To put that into perspective, I can do my 20 man raids on WoW with all my game add-ons running taking up memory for each of them, along with being on discord with my guild and the two combined only uses up about 4 gb tops.

There are people on the reddit thread for this issue that have posted task manager screenshots of PoE taking up 11-12 gigs out of their 16 gigs of ram.

Anyone that has this issue with 8 gigs of memory is basically screwed and needs to restart the game and or their comp every so often.

Same here, the only difference is my vcard is geforce gtx 760, also syndicate board drops fps to <10.

If only that was the sole reason for lags... but it isn't. I have about 60% of memory used when I start poe, but anytime I open syndicate board/passive tree/whatever "overlay" screen, I instantly go under 10 fps. that's from 30/60 I usually have in HO or act6 town I start in.
I agree that having almost all memory chomped by PoE leads to severe FPS drop, that issue is at least as old as Whispering Ice, but that's not the main reason for current fps drops. It's something else with the client, and the worst thing is it seems tggg doesn't even have a clue to what exactly they fucked up this time.

Frankly, this remind me of the infamous Black Screen Plop incident. Which sadly (could)mean we could wait about a month until this is fixed, unless someone from community finds a solution which then would be deployed as tggg's fix.
Same Problem, here. Crashes in 20s-5min since last patch.

Win7 64x
Nvidea gtx 560SE. As soon as the Ram is full it just drops in FPS, freezes, crashes. It was not this way 2 days ago.
Update Windows 7 to Windows 10 fixed this problem in my device.

This is the dumbest fucking comment I've seen. Really. You're telling me updating Windows 7 to Windows 10 fixes the issues WITH WINDOWS 7? Find a dark cave and never leave it for the sake of humanities intelligence.



It solved my problem in MY DEVICE so if you run out of options you try what might work. And if you are going to pour out your dependency and offend maybe you should think over the dark cave and hide in forever? Because if the problem mainly concerns games under Windows 7, why should I not try 10? It works? works for me, so why do you upload your shitposts?
