Performance Improvements
Since Ascendancy, I've been basically unable to play due to my laptop's CPU overheating and throttling itself. None of the patches thus far have helped that situation.
I'm hoping the 64 bit/dx11 client will solve that issue, but is there any chance you're looking into how much CPU load the current client uses since the expansion? |

2 of my big complaints are addressed, so i am happy to see that you are working on those things. Slightly disappointed about the actual roadmap and ETA :/ Maybe a party play in 2017 :)

I am not speaking on behalf of someone else and I don't get offended by things that have nothing to do with me. 3.13 was the golden age. | |
I expected some talk about particle effects optimization, especially drastic performance issues in parties, which are due to particle spam.
Even simple things like burning ground noticeably impacts the game performance. Will we have to wait until 2017 & DX11 port for these fixes? One of the major reasons why me and many other players dont party in this multiplayer game, is bad performance. When night falls

" i would have mentioned that this is only valid if the computer has more than 4 gbyte of physical ram installed? currently, with the 32 bit client, replacing a 32-bit win7 with a 64-bit version resolves no memory problems if peeps only have 4 gbyte ram because the system memory will eat alot of it. " you probably mean 32-bit systems. thanks for the detailed writeup. much appreciated. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill! Last edited by vio on Apr 6, 2016, 3:58:44 AM

" Ever wonder what happened to DX10? It shipped with Vista only, and had no support on XP. You know what happened to it? It faded into irrelevancy. Failing to support one of the still largely in-use world-wide operating systems is a bad move for independent business trying to operate on a world-wide scale. You cut it out, and you cut out a decent sized portion of your player base in certain countries. I have no issues with and use Windows 10, however, people who prefer Windows 7 are perfectly fine in continuing to use it. Same with older OSes. Especially if they're poorer and cannot afford upgrades. The people in this thread in particular are no good judge of the people at mass who play this game. A small sample size does not equal the overall. "You go on pretending that you own the universe,
And we'll all be here watching as you're falling down to Earth." | |
" I like how you think that the only reason most people don't have windows 10 is because of the new privacy policy for windows 10 (and I also like how you think that everyone should not care about privacy because you don't care about it). Windows 7 is still more stable and I think it is better for doing work (don't tell me I haven't used it, I have Windows 10 on my laptop). Upgrading may also mean additional cost and there is some risk that the upgrade may cause problems (for example compatibility issues etc). Finally not everyone is using their computer just for games. I prefer using Windows 7 for now as it is more suitable for my work at the time being. " I haven't watched the performance differences. From the other hand just because you use Dx12 doesn't mean you are automatically going to have a performance benefit, you have to exploit the new features efficiently to be able to get the performance benefit. And of cource as I said Dx12 may improve performance, but it certainly won't initially improve stability because it is a new system that may have a lot of bugs. " In other words the problem wasn't inherently the operating system or DirectX, but that they have introduced new features that resulted in new bugs. " Again you are making the argument that just because most people (?) have a good computer the rest should give up on path of exile. Surely there is a line that they have to draw, but the line you are suggesting would be a really bad business decision. As for the majority of players, you can look it up yourself but here are some links: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems#Desktop_and_laptop_computers http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey Surely many have upgraded to windows 10 and even more will in a year, perhaps I may be one of them too. But the amount of people that will have an OS below windows 10 will still be significant. Last edited by phmn on Apr 6, 2016, 3:46:07 AM
