How to clear client cache?

Hi

i was wondering how to clean the client cache since my files doesnt end with .packed, i have the follower names:


ShadderCacheVulkan

ShadderCacheVulkan_GI (i belive those are I and not L but im not sure)

ShaderCacheD3D11

ShaderCacheD3D11_GI (again not sure if those are I or L).


My guess is to delete the ShaderCacheVulkan(D3D11) folders but i like some confirmation since i contact with support but they couldnt help.

Ty!

Assuming that you are using the stand-alone client then try this -->

1. Close the game.

2. Delete EVERYTHING inside the following directory's -->

C:\Users\"windows account name"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\Countdown
C:\Users\"windows account name"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\DailyDealCache
C:\Users\"windows account name"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\Minimap
C:\Users\"windows account name"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\MOTDCache
C:\Users\"windows account name"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\ShopImages

C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\ShaderCache
C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\ShaderCacheD3D11
C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\ShaderCacheVulkan

3. Now open a "command prompt" as "an administrator" and run this program -->
C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\PackCheck.exe

4. now right click on your PoE icon and select "run as an administrator"


EDIT.:
Indeed it looks like the shadercache folder are moved. So depending on if you use Vulcan or DirectX, then empty these folders also -->

C:\Users\"windows account name"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\ShaderCacheD3D11
C:\Users\"windows account name"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\ShaderCacheVulkan
