Act 3 Becomes Unplayable – Severe FPS Drop (2-3 FPS, Game Freezes, CPU/GPU Usage Drops)
Hello,
I’ve been playing Path of Exile 2 without any performance issues through Act 1 and Act 2. However, when Act 3 starts , I encounter a serious problem: • The game runs normally for the first 30 seconds to 1 minute. • Then, the ground textures/tiles stop loading properly. • FPS suddenly drops to 2–3 FPS and the game almost completely freezes. • At the same time, both CPU and GPU usage drop abnormally low (so it doesn’t look like it’s due to overload). • When this happens, even menus stop responding, making the game unplayable. • The only way to continue is to fully close the game. This issue only appears in Act 3 — Acts 1 and 2 were perfectly smooth. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Is there a known fix or workaround? System Info: • Device: Asus ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme) Thanks in advance! Last bumped on Sep 8, 2025, 11:01:01 AM
