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

" I thought that maybe it was a "playing through steam" issue and considered switching to stand alone. Playing via standalone is still going to be a better experience in most cases. Updates tend to be a lot smoother(no download speed issues), and performance seems a bit better as well with no steam bloat.	Posted by BirdRisesAgain#0697 on Dec 18, 2019, 6:29:20 PM Quote this Post

+1 locked my 60fps for stability, but got Elderslayer influence on my map fps dropped from 60 to 10-20 then stayed that way in all places(hideout/town/acts) after encounter.	Posted by 2i0#7192 on Dec 18, 2019, 8:23:05 PM Quote this Post
" Are the updates automatic or do you need to explicitly go and fetch them? Standalone updates are automatically fetched when pushed by GGG. However it also gives you the option of downloading via torrent prior to the patch push if you're on a slow connection, something that I don't think is possible via steam.

Well GGG, looks like its not just me I can breathe a sigh of relief that my rig isn't dying a slow death on me after spending money on it to upgrade a graphics card etc... The graphics card that can handle a 50 gig game like BFV, but struggles with POE like its a 100 gig monster (it's nowhere near as intensive as BFV for graphics at this point)... Considering the amount of replies here a LOT of your players are still running win7. Either they can't afford to upgrade because they spend their spare money on your MTXs or they prefer win7. I hope you solve this soon as much as I enjoy POE I have several other games on my PC I can go spend some spare money on! Don't look at me.... You knew it was there!

I was convinced it my system and planning to upgrade it. Now I just have to wait for a fix. "Gratitude is wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk."

Hello GGG! Fix this problem! I can’t play your wonderful game for 24+ hours!	Posted by TimeWasting#0990 on Dec 18, 2019, 10:22:03 PM Quote this Post
Has anyone tried upgrading to Win 10? It doesn't look like GGG will have a fix anytime soon.	Posted by Ruffleberg#5791 on Dec 18, 2019, 10:37:20 PM Quote this Post
