Early Access Bug Reports - Lag due to CPU spikes in Path of Exile 2. - Forum

Iam usally in Global 1 and Trade 1 (though hidden). Now if i go to another global/trade that nobody uses my spikes disappeared. So far this is the only things that made the spikes disappear and it also explains the strange intervals of the spikes. Every time someone writes a message in chat you get a massive cpu spike. There may be more to it but i think thats it. Holy shit I can't believe this worked. TYVM! I've been searching all over for a fix and it was driving me insane.

I can confirm. It's the chat messages, even when hidden or when my own character is talking. Should not be an issue on 14900k + 4090	Posted by mwiktor#2993 on Dec 18, 2024, 12:56:13 PM Quote this Post
Same issue. Entering a chat that is not heavily occupied fixes this. Its very easily replicable and GGG can easily test this themselves.	Posted by JSG31#1796 on Dec 18, 2024, 3:01:17 PM Quote this Post

Can confirm switching chat solved the CPU spikes. I was in Trade 1 without knowing. 7800X3D/RTX 3080.	Posted by Androtica#1017 on Dec 20, 2024, 3:32:37 PM Quote this Post
Also having this problem, but can't change chat channels because I'm not level 25, yet :( Sucks having to restart the game so often. 7800X3D, RTX 4080, Linux Mint Linux Mint 22 XFCE	Posted by AmyTazenda#5764 on Dec 21, 2024, 1:43:01 PM Quote this Post
I would highly advise against doing the 100% CPU usage. I tried the script for the power plan and it put my CPU at 85C constant temperature while playing which is very bad for the sillicone components on the long term. On the other hand, I tried the chat switch solution and it did seem to improve so thanks for that suggestion!	Posted by Nickochky#0267 on Dec 21, 2024, 8:53:56 PM Quote this Post
