[MAC][M1] Low frames/unplayable in outdoor areas.

Since this patch, all rooms that render some outdoor lightning have pushed me down to 5-10 FPS.

I notice that this happens on any map that has outdoor lightning.

In sewers maps or blocks, I am stable at 60 fps and maybe go down to 40-45 around many enemies...

Is this a known problem?

Scary part is it seems like that new lighting is probably from POE2 code... which worries me that shits not gonna get better for Mac users when POE2 finally releases :( Have you tried dynamic resolution some people said that helped them in other areas, can't help you test as i'm one of the ones stuck in rolling "move to bin" on my mac, forced to play on my wifes old laptop :S

I see no options for "dynamic resolution" where can I find that?


how can you play the game with mac?

i cannot login since yesterday
Is there any chance to get support or acknowledgment from GGG?

There are not many Mac players, I guess, and I am not expecting this to be a priority case or to be hotfixed early on in the league.

However, it would be great to hear from GGG if this is a known or isolated issue.

performance has gone WAY down for me aswell. but i havent noticed any correlation with outdoor areas... for me its skill effects, especially the burning ground / disintegrating effect that RF has tanks my fps to 10-15

A problem with thinking why fix a problem for a few using a different platform is you will never have the ability to properly expand to that market. I'd like to add last time I checked Steam #1 free game was POE on Mac platform. If this isn't an incentive to improve the Mac client then I don't know what is.

POE was working fine even through rosetta 2 emulation until 3.21.2, in my case, M1 pro 16Gb the game is now unplayable, rare maps, visiting a town, or playing with another player. Unplayable meaning drop down to 5fps on 1133 x 606 with lowest settings and 30-40fps being top. Compared to pre 3.21.2 engine 30fps minimum, 100fps max on 1080p with lowest settings. And also compared to WoW 100+ fps on 4k with highest settings.

After finishing campaign im out, getting stuck walking into pack of mobs on 5fps dying on rare maps is not what anyone signed up for

quit last league due to these issues. Came to check if they had done anything for the customers that made it the most downloaded free game on the platform, And clearly they still don't care enough to even reply or fix anything.

Won't be coming back.
I think we probably need MoltenVK renderer...?
