if your FPS is under 30 this might help

after not getting much help on reddit, steam or the official support (not even a reply) I think this solution might help someone

from Reddit:

Launch PoE2, navigate to options>graphics and look at if PoE2 is using your CPU or GPU (CPU would say Intel, GPU would say NVIDA or their equivalents) If it says Intel, the game is using your CPU which is causing the low FPS

The problem is Windows is automatically setting Path of Exile 2 to run via the CPU rather than the GPU

SOLUTION:

>On your home screen, enter in the search bar "Graphics settings"

>You should have the PoE2 app listed as " PathOfExileSteam "

>(If the PoE2 app is not listed, scroll to the top of your graphics settings window. Below the 'Add an app', you will see the option to 'Browse', click it. Click on the drive you have steam & PoE2 installed on. Now navigate to your PoE2 folder by going ' Program Files (86x)>Steam>steamapps>common>Path of Exile 2 '. Click on the file that says ' PathOfExileSteam ', then click add. Now exit from the browse folder and you should see the app 'PathOfExileSteam' listed in your graphics settings window)

>Click on the ' PathOfExileSteam ' app in your 'graphics settings' window and click "Options"

>You should see three options listed. If you have "let windows decide", this is what is causing the issue.

>click the 'high performance' option, which will let the game select your GPU

The above doesn't work. Still low FPS high CPU usage. game is almost unplayable 35-55 FPS.

GGG needs to optimize this game. It runs like crap even on higher end systems I see people haveing off and on issues as well.

Please address performance issues GGG! We would like to play the game, yet you left it almost unplayable before going for Vacation.

Countless threads on what people think are fixes, youtube videos etc. ITS THE GAME.

No work around really works. if there is it isn't permanent.

Its the game. FIX IT so we all can play.
