Ever since Keepers performance has been screwed

At the beginning of Keepers tons of people had performance issues related to textures and shaders and whatever you did to "fix" that has royally fucked the game overall. Lots of things are just invisible now, I'm sure lots of people have experienced "Vruun - The Floating Mace".

Shaders problem is not fixed at all for me, even worse than ever (and it has always been a problem with poe, I don't know why they are managing this in another way than all the other game company (local cache in appdata\roaming) while it's a total mess.

Currently every time I enter a zone (even if I just return in a map after selling in my hideout) I can see the shaders loading for several minutes, during this time I have high CPU load for no reason, and it takes forever because when the game access files on my nvme drive it's between 1MB/s and 30MB/s max while when I test it from the OS read speed is something like 3600MB/s ...

Tried different way to fix that, but nothing works :/


** Solution **

If some people have the same issue:

- Reinstalled the game on a sata SSD
- Updated Nvidia driver
- Set shader cache to 100GB (I really think that this is what actually solved, still had some shader loading when entering a zone at the beginning, but less and less and way more faster now)

Where do you set this? Nvidia settings?
