About the CPU usage issue

Hello to everyone,

my PC is constantly crashing on loading screens due to the wide known CPU usage problem. My specs are more than fine and I play even heavier games easily without any issue. I did not play PoE1, I am new to this game. I absolutely love it and already have 400 hours into it. This is a request to the devs, to try and fix the issue. It is ruining the experience for a huge number of people.

It's ridiculous really. When I'm running a juiced map on Savannah my CPU usage stays at 70% and above. my GPU NEVER goes above 24% usage. I have EXTREME lag on some maps; to the point that even my sound is cutting in and out. This is a design problem with the game and it should be priority #1. Nearly ALL performance issues and crashes are because of this. How they can make a modern game like this that DOESN'T USE the GPU is ridiculous.

right?! damn thing ran fine for the first 20 hours or so but then it started crashing in loading screens every five minutes. now i literally cant load the game without it crashing. you guys charged me thirty bucks for this. i expected some crashes here or there but this is silly. i literally cant play the game.

POE 1 and I assume 2, has always been very hard on the CPU and been CPU bound, or a least a tendency to being CPU bound depending on specs.

Just out of curiosity what CPU are you guys running with? Have you also checked your temps as high CPU can (not say it did, just something to check to be careful) lead to thermal crashing.

What GPU would be good to know as well.

I'll need to start checking mine too, that is percent's in use and temps, though its hard to compare those directly from one CPU/GPU to another as they can have different numbers of cores, power limits, and even allowed/safe operating temps.

Friend of mine (well 2 over the last year and 1/2) had his AIO start going out a few months back causing similar issues that at first seemed to be just one game.
