Texture loading on every zone + constant stuttering.

will ggg do anything about these issues ? game is completely unplayable for many players since the last patch and the overwork. constant fps drops, slow gfx loading in instances and especially towns. ongoing gfx problems in instances, random disconnects... never had any issues like this before the patch. i tried everything from reinstalling over deleting the mygames folder to turning all options to low..and honestly its getting really frustrating

i mean did the devs really ruin the gaming experience for players with a PATCH ?

this is a complete joke and im sure poe will lose many players because of it.

i mean they dont even seem to care because not everyone is affected by it..its going on for over a week now with constant complain...

im definetely not buying any supporter packs

/rant off

bye

Exactly the same story with me too. What is more interesting - in most cases POE does not seem to utilize more than 2-2.5 GB of my 1070's 8GB video memory, which is weird. Is there any way to specify amount of video memory available to use manually, rather than allow the game detect it automatically?

so is there a fix on the way ggg?
many of us dont have a ps5 to switch over and dont want to to be honest.

I have stuttering since previous league. Looks like it happens to me usually at evening time. Testing via special sites shows DL of 91 Mbps and UL is 94 Mbps. Reinstalled Windows before The Ritual.

Since the new league, the textures in the game load about 30-60 seconds (first login in town). Which usually lasted max 5-10s. I have the lowest possible graphics settings.

Hey guys, got the same issue since at least shortly after league start (can't remember having these issues on launch day).
Everytime I visit town, every texture, sprite, effect, item image ect. apparently requires to be loaded in again, usually taking a dozen seconds until the process is finished (basically what normally happens on game start before Ritual League).
Once I enter some instance after that, the same would happen again. However (apparently) not while moving between instances within the campaign. Only once a town instance gets involved does it seem to happen.
Quite infuriating to be honest.

Anyway, looking for a solution I switched from DirectX11 to Vulcan as suggested by someone here and while the game still seems require to load in every textures ect. on each new town visit, it at least gets done within a split second rather than half a minute.
So that works for me I guess.

resolved stutter:

in game settings:
Mode: fullscreen (not windowed)
VSync: disabled
Foreground fps cap: 60 (enabled)
Renderer: Vulkan


nvidia panel (Manage 3D settings=>Program settings=> PathOfExile_x64Steam.exe):
Vertical sync: on
Low Latency Mode: ultra

This helped for me using those settings \o/.

FYI, I didn't adjust anything in the nvidia control panel. Just switched in game settings.

Mode: Fullscreen
VSync: Disabled
Foreground FPS Cap: 144 (Enabled)

didn't work with me :( really sad game is unplayable i wanted to buy pack , but how can i buy if i cant even play normally...

I've got the problem with textures taking long to load, and needing to load again and again when entering town, since day one of 3.13.


Switching to Vulcan Render improved the texture load speed, but now I experience rare crashes when a LOT of mobs and effects are on screen.

Not sure if deleting the folders as suggested by Staff helped but I did try.


The supposed improvements to texture loading seem to have backfired, or at least have negative side effects and cause problems for a significant portion of your users - please seriously look into this and either fix it or roll back the changes that caused this until you can fix it.

Really enjoying this league otherwise, keep up the good work!
