Yeah, I think some people were saying that performance seriously degraded for them since Crucible, or a certain "optimization patch" that was done in some previous league. The game definitely runs badly(depending on your PC) until you load all the shaders for a lot of the monster types,tilesets,bosses,boss abilities etc. the first time.
Yes, Toffy.
What you’re pointing out is a fairly natural consequence of an engine being overhauled and refined. As it becomes more sophisticated and increasingly demanding, older or less capable hardware can start to fall behind.
That usually shows up as longer loading times for assets, shaders, and other elements, along with a bit of overall slowdown.
While that may be true, I don't think that a 2080 is outdated enough for a game like poe to be having severe issues like this.
I can play elden ring and destiny 2 just fine and they both have higher requirements.
