YES! Ignoring and silencing the problem angers the most !

I have hope GGG is trying to fix this,i come once per day to see if it is the day.
Meanwhile,i just do other stuff,life isnt just POE.
But i agree with u guys,at least some feedback would be nice.

What bothers the most is developers not even communicating about any broken things in games. A "we know about the performance problem and working on a fix" would be enough.

But the game isn't playable right now. I don't understand why this isn't highest priority.

Eight days now with an completely unplayable game. Still not one word from GGG, still no change in game despite trying every option possible.

That a company would release a patch that can harm people's computer and best case render the game unplayable for a lot of people, and just leave it be for a week, is absolutely beyond anything I could ever imagine from these guys.

Gotta love when you make space in your schedule to play your favourite game because your time is limited in the week with work and family, take some spare time from work, but the devs thought that only very rich people will play their game from now on, just get rid of the unwealthy unlucky players, that will save a bit of server power. Oh, and just fry their CPU at the same time, so they can't come back to complain. Nice weekend indeed.

Thanks for ruining the league and wasting my time. At least I'm keeping my CPU in good health.

Looks like they could not care for just a few hundred people. Unfortunately there is absolutely no dent in the number of players, according to SteamCharts, and actually there are even more players since last week.

So we probably are not more than a few hundreds, considering how many post/threads are posted and taking into account that for every message from someone who cannot play because X reason, there are probably two more players that won't consider going to the forums and would just do something else.

Engine Multithreading is broken!
not matter the renderer is DX11 or Vulkan
with the same settings:
i7-10750H + RTX 3060 + Win 10 = everithing is OK
i7-2600K + GTX 970 + Win 7 = if the "Engine Multithreading" option is Enabled -> the CPU's lantency is going crazy, jumping up to 30x of the normal value than down to normal, several times in every seconds again and again, if the "E.M." option is Disabled -> the CPU's lantency is stable (but 2x of normal value)

Hello again friends!

I am here with another short update on the current state of the game.

While absolutely none of the actions I have taken so far (almost everything that is being officially recommended by GGG in terms of troubleshooting performance issues and graphical glitches) made a noticeable difference, I am happy to inform you that there is an amazing workaround for anyone experiencing random flashing textures while playing the game (seems to be mostly associated with Syndicate/Betrayal and Delve content):

Simply open your Graphics settings and switch your display Mode between your current setting and something else (for example, swap between Fullscreen and Windowed Fullscreen, do it a few times if it does not work from the first), and the flashing textures issue should be fixed for you. Leaving the map and entering again also works, but this way you save your portal for a potential crash instead, quite smart! ;)

Jokes aside, this really does work for that specific issue, but I sadly do not have any workarounds to share when it comes to general performance issues that are causing FPS drops. I am personally still getting some nice 30-40 fps drops for things like harbinger bosses.

And before someone comes up with the extremely smart "I don't have the issues you are having, so it must be something with your PC" comment, let me share this:

1. I have almost 10k hours in PoE logged on Steam since 2013, and I have never had these issues before on multiple different PCs (including my trusty old gaming laptop from 2017 that I was using some time ago while on the road) throughout the years.

2. I also have over 100 different games on Steam and other platforms (a significant % of them being much more demanding in terms of hardware), and none of them have weird performance issues and visual bugs when running on my current PC.

3. For the specific issue that I have mentioned with Syndicate content (flashing textures when leaving Research encounters + during the Catarina fight), I have never had these problems before this patch, and I have easily done over 2000 Jun missions during this league (yes, I farm a lot of Syndicate, what can I say).

Stay sane exiles!
