Hey guys, i had the same issue, seems like Kaspersky have some compability problems with PoE2. Once i've deleted my Kaspersky antivirus game started working normally on DX12 and Vulcan. Hope this will help y'all. --- UPD. Problem with lags happened again... Kaspersky wasn't the issue...

RTX 2080, i7-9700k, 32gb ram, same exact issue. Game was running fine until last night, today I turned on the pc without any update of any kind and the framerate is stuck at roughly 22fps in both DirectX 12 and Vulkan, but runs up to 120 in DirectX 11 although its still unplayable due to frame drops and lag spikes every time there are enemies or effects on screen. Tried changing Nvidia drivers, uninstall the Nvidia app, reinstalling it, verify game files, clearing cache, updating my BIOS, everything with a PC restart in between yet nothing fixed it so far. It's clearly a bug considering the fact that all other games run perfectly fine and the framerate doesn't go up even if I lower my settings and resolution to the minimum possible. Please fix, it makes the game literally unplayable EDIT: FOUND A FIX. Its so stupid but it worked, I unplugged and replugged my GPU and my RAM in and now the bug is gone. Its so weird but it worked. Replugging the RAM may not be necessary tbh, I just did both to be sure Last edited by DavrK_#0048 on Dec 18, 2024, 6:35:33 AM	Posted by DavrK_#0048 on Dec 17, 2024, 8:41:44 AM Quote this Post

Did you use different slots for either your ram or GPU?	Posted by RexDiometus#2742 on Dec 19, 2024, 1:23:39 PM Quote this Post

Just wanted to comment that i had this exact issue where i was capped to around 50fps using dx12 but dx11 was fine. I found that my 4060 was only reading as PCIE x1 4.0 instead of x8 4.0. You can check using nvidia control panel > system info or gpuz. You should see x8 or x16 4.0 on rtx cards, 3.0 for older. A bios update was the only fix for me though a gpu reseat may solve the issue and ofcourse make sure its in the top slot.	Posted by darknuub#7440 on Dec 19, 2024, 5:09:38 PM Quote this Post
I have also been experiencing these problems for a few days. I have tried several things: - Bios update - Update drivers / install older ones / reinstall current ones - Uninstall and reinstall Nvidia Experience - Disable Xbox Gamebar - Check game file for errors - Activate high performance mode in Windows - Shadow Chace set to unlimited in Nvidia settings - Different renderer types (Directx 11/12 ; Vulcan) and unfortunately nothing fixed my problem. My specs: Nvidia 4070ti Intel Core I7 12700K 32 GB 4000 MHz DD4 Ram After checking dozens of forum posts, i stumbled over @darknuub#7440 Contribution an checked for my PCIe connection. Reconnecting the GPU didnt help in my case, switching PCIe Ports didn't help aswell. Please share your thoughts.	Posted by darkpopcornmaker#0121 on Dec 20, 2024, 9:24:25 PM Quote this Post
Just thought I'd add in since I am having the same issue So no matter what settings I use I will not get higher than 30FPS even in menus. I've messed around with game settings and settings in windows 10 so to make sure that my RTX card is being used and I can verify it is but neither my GPU or CPU get above 20% usage ever during gameplay. I've attached a screenshot of my metrics in game. PC Specs: OS: Windows 10 most up to date CPU - i5-13420H GPU - RTX 4050 Laptop - 6GB VRAM - Newest Driver RAM - 32 GB DDR5 Storage - 4TB gen 4 NVME https://imgur.com/NFfQJp1 Update I seem to have found a fix for me anyway, apparently avast antivirus was the issue I disabled it and now I'm running about 80FPS fairly smoothly.

I'm not sure if this is the only fix or if the problem can come from other sources so no guarantee it fixes it for your particular system. Checking your chipset drivers could also be worthwhile. That fixed it for me. Finally DX12 120 FPS gaming	Posted by CPT_Rocks#4618 on Dec 22, 2024, 1:23:17 PM Quote this Post
