Game unplayable since patch 3.9.0e? for Win7 users (FPS issue) STILL A PROBLEM AFTER 3.9.1b :(

Did not fix it at all for me. First map in after patch, stuck at 3-5 fps. Only way to fix is to restart client. All 6 gigs of memory used by POE currently, just like since the patch last week.

Opening the passive tree still triggers the fps loss / memory leak also. Immediate drop to 2 fps now, which doesn't improve until a client restart.

This is extremely disappointing. I really enjoyed the first few days of this league/expansion, especially since I was coming off of a break for the previous league. I tried my luck at SSF HC, ripped a couple chars, and now have a good start in sc trade, but I don't think I'm going to keep trying over the holidays. I can't play the game in its current state at all, so I believe it's time to move on to something else.

Nothing changed. Still fps drops.

The patch didn't help, memory usage goes up halfway through a map followed up by a crash.

I just want to note (I'm sure this has been pointed out already) that this was not an issue previous to Patch 3.9.0e

Patch did nothing. Complete lagfest 1min into a map.

+++++ Overall performance feels even worse, than it was.
Fps drops to 8 after 5 minutes of gameplay, then i open passive tree - fps drops to 0, then up to 2....

This did nothing. I also remind you, this started at Patch 3.9.0e and is not an Win7 issue. Is a GGG issue.

For me (on Win 10 here), the constant performance degradation over time has substantially improved - just now I managed to play from the Northern Forest through to City of Sarn where yesterday I wouldn't have been able to complete one zone. It's quite possible I could have continued and never got to the 'permanently unplayable' levels of the last couple of patches, I don't know.

But I'm still getting regular severe stutter in fights, especially in Metamorph encounters which are still close to unplayable. And though my FPS does go back up after a fight now, it's not to the level it used to be, or at least not consistently. For example, after getting to Sarn I warped back to the Act 2 town and was sitting on ~25FPS there without any other players running around with flashy cosmetics.

I know my aging PC can't keep up with the changing game forever, but it feels like there's still something going on, yeah.

Thank you for your work, but my memory is still being eaten up like christmas candy.
The fix didnt work, it seems.

I upgraded to Windows 10 and now I can play again. GGG obviously isn't supporting win 7 users anymore.
