Lets talk about the elephant in the room? (game performance)

Today I started up PoE again and in the first maps this happened:

1. Long loading screen
2. Missing the textures inside the map, half the map floor was just blue
3. Going into abyss made my game crash
4. Loading times again

The game performance is at a low point, please fix this because it is no fun playing like this!

What console are you?

On ps5 is really good. Maybe you need to consider a new hardware.

I'm on PS5 and my friend also on PS5 encounters the same issues.

Usually it happends only the first secounds of a map first time, next map is normal. Seems like it need to buffer up...

I've been having similar issues with loading times (series X). It seems to have gotten worse in the last 2 leagues. The load time are taking me roughly roughly 10 seconds every map and closer to 25 seconds when mechanics like delerium or harvest show up. These are more apparent issues when farming for ashes or omni because you are trying to cram as many maps as possible in a short period. A beach map took me close to 40-45 secondsd to run, so these load times end up taking up 10-30% extra time which adds up. Not to mention if you die multiple times in a map (rare 8 mod essence)
