Texture loading on every zone + constant stuttering.

100+fps during heist, now I am getting less than half of that with constant fluctuations ranging all the way to 10 fps. I have searched for hour on how to improve fps and stuttering doing every from trying different driver versions to a full poe installation. The only thing I tried that semi worked was to put everything to the lowest settings possible and using vulcan i set my resolution to windowed and scaled down the screen alot. Was so excited for this league but playing like this is unplayable.

How long are they gonna fucking take to at least revert the texture change??? Clearly lots of people are having problems with it....not sure how it was a good idea to implement this kind of important changes on a league start in the first place? I really want to enjoy this league mechanic but man these technical issues are so disappointing.

well even the streams on twitch dont look good ... and they dont mind such marketing :D so... we will have to w8 ages again....

constantly lagging..

This is making the game feel so bad to play.

I switched to vulkan yesterday, but nothing changed. Today i tried to delete files in the shadercaches and noticed, that there are none in shadercachevulkan. That should not be normal, should it?

For me situation atleast got better when I made sure to start from the 64 bit .exe and the I disabled the dynamic resolution. No more stuttering and no crashes so far. Earlier removed the shaders etc with no help. Hope this solves the issue.

Edit, Nevermind, crashed again.

Running PoE on a good PC too, and i have noticed some questionable fps drops in Ritual too. An arpg from 2013 really should not give a current day pc any problems whatsoever really.

There's also weird texture loading sometimes, (i'm on ssd not hdd btw) and there's been a bunch of random disconnects and a few crashes.

I dunno why ppl keep questioning each other's and their own pcs... seriously. PoE's performance is notoriously janky. It's like instead of fixing it, they just keep postponing it, until people's hardware improves, but whenever it does, they release more content that once again runs poorly even on that hardware. It's like that bugged Batman game that run on 20 fps on good pcs... wtf.

This performance stuff is obviously an issue with their inhouse built engine, not people's software or hardware.

same for me. i understand that theres problems with lags & discos due to leaguestart etc. but the fps rollercoaster this league just makes it unbearable.

A slider option should exist for big untested changes like this, clearly the new texture loading doesn't work on all systems and it's making the game flat out unplayable on these systems.

Personally going form vulkan to D11 helped with the texture loading issue to some degree, however it's not very ideal considering how much smoother the game runs on vulkan (before the most recent texture change).
