Texture loading on every zone + constant stuttering.

This isn't a minor technical issue,it's a major screwup that is affecting a lot of people. I'm glad that the technical department is doing nothing to fix this,no response,no "We are sorry,we are working on it,next week you will have a patch that will fix it" nothing like that. This leads me to believe that this issue is a major one, and won't be fixed soon.

I'm still having the same issues since day one of the league, switching to vulkan made it better but I still have insane freezes/spikes. It's infuriating to have a newly built PC with a top end GPU and I can't run this mess of a game. Not that support would even give a shit about the people stating their problems here in the forums. That's bottom tier customer service, you should be ashamed of yourself not to even give us a sign of you working on it.

Love the game and league but its unplayable now due to this. I had occasional issues with delirium areas before since my pc isnt exactly great but otherwise its been more than functional even during hectic moments.

Now i cant deal with normal packs in high tier maps because i get 5fps as soon as anything spawns.

really hoping for a fix of this

I don't really have any stuttering issues, but the texture loading time makes the game annoying to play in many instances

My inventory takes sometimes near 15 second to load the images, and this happens every time I exit a map or heist (for example). This is even worse in towns (and now in Rogue Harbour being public) due to all the MTX

While this wasn't as bad in lower levels, since I'm level 90ish the amount of things happening makes me be hit by invisible monsters of affected by invisible ground effects (because they didnt load yet)

I tried a few "fixes" mentioned in this thread, but none seemed to fix my issues. I tried Vulkan and DX11, but both showed similar problems

Keep in mind that while now I have these issues with the lowest graphics settings possible, the past league (and before) I was playing fine with medium to high settings, so that makes this double dissapointing (because, honestly, it's not like the graphic quality increased between last version and this one, so I don't really understand what happened)

Hope you can somehow fix this so I (and the other people in this thread) can go back to enjoy what is otherwise a good league

I sure am getting tired of beta testing new graphical features for entire leagues. Your game could be wonderful, but you choose to constantly force us to beta test half-baked features. Please stop.

Just heard from a friend that usually play every league casually that he tried this but quit because it was laggy and textures not loading, thinking he needed to buy a new PC first. There is probably a big silent player base that just quit right now due to this.

Same problem here. Heist league was fine.
Game stuttering and loading textures everytime you enter map/hideout/town etc.
Switching between DX11/Vulkan doesn't change anything.
Non of posted possible solutions for this problem isnt help at all.

Waiting for GGG's fix this problem, if they wont i probably quit game for this league.

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

Quoting because this does seem to have helped me more than the many other solutions did (although I did them all incrementally as well). Thanks, and holy crap, GGG, what did you do, and why are you being so unhelpful and unresponsive?

System, for reference:
i5-4690k
RTX 2070
16g RAM
SSD
worked reasonably well prior to this league, although Delirium was an issue for me last league in particular. I wonder if the above fixed that? I'll see later, I guess.

Not BETA testers, but ALPHA testers !

Still waiting for a reply what is going on. This has nothing to do with shader cache or the document folder.
