Infinite loadings

bump

Bump. Fix this already, this has been a reoccuring issue for several leagues (I had to drop Ancestors league because of it), and it reappears every now and then, for .... sake. Shader bar is full for no reason even if everything on my screen is present.

after checking all caches, drivers, various settings, power savings, game files I was convinced it can't be fixed,

but
but I think I've found something and I wasn't paying attention - for some reason I was hearing HDD sound during PoE gaming, I thought it was some indexing or torrents uploads but it was my pagefile which were located on HDD, I moved it to SSD and it looks like it solved long loading for me, most I had was 7 seconds.

hopefully solved, unless it's just too few people playing with too few MTX are present in cities. Still needs more testing.

Update (disclosure, I am in a CPU limited scenario 6 core, i5 8400 (bought 2018):

Starting up POE1 on a cold machine for the first time ... closed POE after stuck in city hub loading screen for 3 minutes.

Restart POE1, not stuck in loading screen. Still longing load time.

Yesterday:

Waited 3 minutes for the shaderbar not be green, after loading into one of the Eagon/Zana story boss fights.

Cannot start the boss fight, because boss skill effects are not loaded in (cannot see the roses, cannot see the fire AOE, etc).

As detailed here before 3.27 ( https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3813352 ).

Just look at all the threads and countless pages of people commenting. Its not a """hardware bottleneck""", the game is literally failing to load shaders correctly and the shader bar is constantly full. That's not normal.

Observing the discussions in these threads underscores a recurring theme, many users who express frustration over performance issues are often operating on underpowered hardware. The limitation lies squarely with the system itself, a reality so self-evident that it requires no specialized knowledge to recognize.

My friend has a 3090 and a good CPU, on windows 11 and he has worse performance than me on my low-end PC lmao, explain that.

If your friend’s CPU is roughly on par with their RTX 3090, it’s highly unlikely they should experience worse performance than you. Simply put, their system boasts greater raw computational power than your older components. The only scenarios where they might see lower performance are if their CPU is relatively weak or poorly matched to the 3090, and if they are gaming at higher resolutions—such as 4K, 1440p, or ultrawide, which demand significantly more resources than 1080p or 720p.

User, with top notch gamer CPU, reporting intermittent loading screens of doom.

Having the same issue since this morning.

CPU 9950X
GPU 9070XT
RAM 64GB

Tried:
1. Verifying game files
2. Clearing shader cache
3. Upping virtual memory paging size to 8 GB

Edit: Fixed by rolling back AMD adrenaline to 25.10.30

Looking at log entries related to entering a new instance in \logs\Client.txt, I noticed that lines below in red stopped existing with patch 3.27
