Controller FPS drops [PC]

cpu : i7 14700F
gpu : RTX 4060 ti
platform : win11
Controller: microsoft xbox official wireless controller

symptoms: When playing kb+m, no issues. Switch to controller input, game stutters when fighting packs of monsters. Switch back to WASD, no issues.

Latency graph flies up and game stutters constantly in maps. Unplayable on controller

update: Switched to an 8bitdo pro 2 controller, symptoms do not persist. Tested in several maps. Something is wrong with the way the microsoft xbox controller is talking to PoE2 on PC.

Same issue here. Test on Xbox controller and DualSense but none of them is playable.

I did not notice this since I could get around 60fps before today, but I only got around 30fps today. I reinstalled the game and got 60fps when I opened it for the first time but back to 30fps after closing the game and reopening it.

I tested on the character selecting screen and found that I can get 110+ fps with kb+m but only 50+ fps with controller.

After messing about a bit more, ending the xbox game bar process helped the problem.

please tell me what exactly did you do in the panel?
