Long load times

With the amount of changes they are updating into the game for PoE2 the LACK OF GRAPHIC OPTIMIZATION settings is insane. I came back since like Sentinel league and man for one the game's animations are looking great, ive instantly noticed all the fire abilities have gotten a complete rework and look INSANELY juicy and great. HOWEVER things like this i can already tell is pushing my PC more then POE ever has, like ever, like to the point it may be unplayable if i ever think of grouping with other people.

They need to add more optimization options even to PoE1 in prep for PoE2.
ASAP

I used to wait for 5-6 seconds to enter an area 2 leagues ago when I last played. Decided to come back for Affliction and i have to wait more than 30 seconds sometimes. Is frustrating

Long load time after a patch last leauge.
Maps is fine, town is horrible.
I usually buy supporter pack every leauge, but with that long load time i put that on ice.
Fix the load time and i jump back on wasting my money again.

Still not fixed, over 1 minute to load. It's getting annoying to even play a map.

same

look like GFN unplayable load times abyssbal and game stutters on dx11...... last league was alright..... they broke poe again

Two hardcore characters of mine died cause I couldn't load into location before grace period ended xd

Same here, long time to load City and maps.

I have the same problem. Never had these long loading screens before.
I timed loading in to town act 8 to 53 sec. I even had one up to 1,5 minute wait time as well.

I use Vulkan,
I have 8600k, 1080TI, 16GB DDR3 3200mhz, M2 SSD with 2500~ read
Everything on low, playing with latest Nvidia drivers and windows 11.

I use standalone client and windowed mode.

Please GGG. This needs to be a priority. 1 min load times are insufferable.
