Other players cosmetics texture lag

Hi there,
I was playing with some friends yesterday and all we kept complaining was the town lag due to other players cosmetics. Texture loading takes a big chunk, and we have to wait for 5-10 seconds to be able to move.
Has anyone yet considered implementing an option that can disable other players cosmetics?
If no, why?
If yes, what is the progress on it?

Many thanks!

Most likely it's a cpu bottleneck, especially if the computer is running Windows 7 still. Take my own experience:

PoE performance in Windows 7:


PoE performance in Windows 10:


Same hardware for both PoE pics. In Windows 7 if I {Alt}tabbed out while in town with other players to look up something and came back then PoE was taking over 5 seconds to get all the mtx data from the other players before the clusterfuck went away. After the upgrade to Windows 10 version 1909 this problem and all other frame rate problems are gone. Didn't matter which town I was in, the more players the longer it took on Windows 7 so the longer the clusterfuck lasted. With Windows 10 even crowded towns are nearly instant for all mtx. For details read here. To find out if it is a cpu bottleneck then read here.

This is never going to happen, as GGG want people to see others cosmetics so that they'll buy them.

i wish we could set the amount of players we see in town or none at all would be great

everything performs worse than usual on some systems, they're working on it.

from recent manifesto:

It looks like we broke something with 3.10.0. We don't know what it is yet, but are investigating and will fix it. This is a high priority and we're really sorry that it was released like that. We were unaware of the issue from our internal testing but became quickly aware of it upon launch.

hope it'll be fixed sooner than later

Performance issues will never be fixed

i7 W10 SSD 24GBRAM MSI750ti, all graphics settings are low.
I appreciate you sharing your experience, but especially this, this is most likely a different reason.
