Texture loading on every zone + constant stuttering.

3.13 ruined it for me.
I have zero motivation to play..trade is broken, loading screens are a pain.. heist town is too laggy the textures are pain.
How can we enjoy this?
I feel like im forcing myself into suffer, hoping something will change soon..but it doesnt.
Poor behavior by GGG..really dissapointed.

still having issues ggg, textures not loading (environment and enemies)
the longer loading times between instances wouldnt be a problem but it seems to be struggling on loading, its crashed a bunch of times or "stopped responding" then finally loaded (im not personally crashing during gameplay just on load screens)
i even tried a clean install of windows to see if that fixed my problem days after league started

AMD Ryzen 7 2700
AMD gigabyte 5700 xt gpu
16gb ram
sandisk ultra II ssd (before reinstall i had the game installed on my m.2 nvme drive, didnt help)
21.2.1 radeon graphics drivers
windows 10 pro version 20H2

and now since this post im noticing even if i dont crash during loading i get stuck in loading screens too. cogs are still turning but zone never loads....
im trying to run lab and now i have to end process zzzz

Ran the game in admin mode just to see if anything changes. First map went smoothly. I quit to do something else. Log back in - still in admin mode, and same old shit again with constant freezes and such.

This is like either the memory or the SSD gradually gets clogged up with something.

Still unplayable

still having major texture glitches while playing, despite loading times are near triple the time it used to be even though im playing on ssd

is this game gonna stay that way ??

This is unprecedented. I have gotten to the point I am writing a post about it complaining. Me? Who would have thought. Anyway. This is the worst I ve ever encountered, i am waiting on average 30-45 seconds to go to either HIDEOUT, TOWN, DELVE or any other zone. Wish I had a refund option for all the money I gave them through the supporter packs - I would not give a penny anymore. Literally 1/3 of the playtime is waiting. are you kidding me? [Removed by Support] I finish a map in about 2 minutes - from which I have to add almost double that time to WAIT and LOOK ON MY PHONE AS THE WHOLE PC DOESNT RESPOND ANYMORE. I AM CAPSING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE BUT THIS IS NOT POSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Don't know if anyone will read this, as the post is quite old.

I had the same issues as you guys. Good PC, but performance meh.
What really did it for me was:

- use --softwareaudio start param in steam
- I deleted all files except the index.dat in folder ShaderCacheVulkan.packed (BUT keep them in trash bin)
- starting the game afterwards resulted in a crash
- so I restored the deleted files

And voila, min 140fps stable. A breeze. Dunno if I was lucky, because those steps don't make any sense for me.
But you guys can give it a try, too.

Texture loads in fast and nice now for me, but for boss attacks that is another story. Shaper/elder attacks sometimes dont even render in, resulting in me dieing to stuff i cant even see. I just lost a uber elder fight, because i got instagib every time i entered the portal.

I have ~60% left to lvl100 but poe atm is unplayable on higher content.
dx11 is an imposition to play at +60% delirium with fps drops to like 5fps.
Switching to vulcan results in better and overall smoother performance but it crashes as soon as i hit the first big harbinger pack.

3800xt, 1070ti, 32gb ddr4@3800mhz newest nvidia, chipset and sound drivers installed.

I give up at this point i am super annoyed with the game and its technical state.

Sometimes I really ask if GGG even trying. I have a comment deleted because "it was not helpful" but, at the same time, basicaly nothing has changed on this subject. One or two replies from the staff. Three leagues in a row with same texture loading problems, tried at least 15 different "fixes". Changed GPU, monitor, tried every single configuration on the entire existence.
Heist was still somewhat playable, but Ritual... oh boy, I tried, but dying for things that I can't even see because of the poor performance is, to minimize, ANNOYING AS HELL.
Yet, MTXs keep flowing as there's no tomorow.
1 year isn't enough to, at least, minimize the problems?
