Performance and Stability Updates

Dear GGG,

Back in Sept of last year you communicated that there are performance issues with the console during Blight league. (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2645473) With our ever aging consoles and the ones on the horizon is there any update on how performance is being improved. It seems that a number of builds are still seeing many functions still receiving these problems even today.

Dash still rebounds the character back to milliseconds before, teleport the player to a different locations than desired, leads the player into walls and objects seconds after dashing. This puts players back into the cross-hairs of bosses and enemies.

Fast attack speed builds hits do not register because connection spikes are seemingly removing targeting from crowds even with melee splash equipped for entire crowds and even single targeting.

Delve is being plagued by registering that players are still in the darkness while along side the mine cart or even moving the player further back on the path while travelling the path. Making the player have to battle the darkness and escape enemies 3-4 times in a row to barely live or to be killed by the next crowd ahead.

Along side that there seems to be many moments where the game is freezing completely and suddenly the game seems to take all of the actions in a few seconds that were missed and removes player input entirely. (https://youtu.be/gAZNAXYihJg) I have attached a link to a clip playing 2 minutes of the game removing input and desyncing all inputs and escaping only to die and input not being registered.

Patches for Delirium have been great when they work and compared to the beginning of the season, they have been more bearable. There seems to be little feedback for console on how these things are being addressed when it comes to stability, latency, possible memory leaks (https://youtu.be/KaabnoBpAlY), and just overall baseline performance. Will there be better communication for what changes and plans there are for the console community?

P.S.: I have been loving the changes to the Atlas, Conquerors, Cluster Jewels, and Fossil Crafting. Please be safe during these times.

Hahaha! They will NEVER fix the 2 fps gameplay. They've said they're working on it for years. We all know what it requires: replicate their data to better server farms. But they won't ever do it.

I doubt they will do anything until poe2. Also very doubtful that they will ever even respond to a post like this
