No performance fixes?

I suppose refactoring / recoding wont' help. The reason why Jonathan told about the legacy code on the stream. So just lower the settings and play.

Last league wasn't able to load any screen even regular acts without a 2 to 6 minute delay. That's a massive issue when I didnt have that issue. Then late game made me stutter so bad I had to quit. Wasn't able to party with anyone.

NO OTHER LEAGUE had this issue.

Thousands of people experienced this. & they did what nothing?!?! to fix????

All for some dumb graphics updates most people probably didn't notice. save all that for POE 2. Stop messing with POE 1's graphics.

now now luthien. havent you been listening to the fanatical fanboys? the problem is our systems that didnt change between one patch to the next, and is completely unrelated to the flawless update the magnanimous ggg overlords bestowed upon us.

I got an old setup that i made ~5years ago (1070ti, i5-8600k 16go ram) didn't had any issue with poe before 3.22.

Had some stuttering even in campagn/early mapping, and i had the chance to drop a random mirror after a week of playing with ~40fps. Like an idiot i though i would make a 5way juicer with the mirror, thinking that even with 20fps it would be """"""playable"""""", well guess what, 100% crash on every single 5way i tried. After days of troubleshooting i sold everything and RQ the league.

Hope this one will be better....

(Ofc the setup is old, but i never had any issue in previous leagues, 100-110 dps even on juiced 80% deli maps, did some 6man party play before and survived with 35+ fps, and ofc any other game is fine)

Game is currently melting my PC and using up anywhere from 70-90% of the CPU resources. First time in all the leagues I've played that this is borderline unplayable.

BTW, I can run Diablo 4 flawlessly. Think about that.

I recall the game running decently before heist league.

Also what's up with loading screens? Never had my hard drive rev up as loudly in any other game and I don't recall it doing that in the past this badly.

3.21.2 introduced "new engine", been waiting for a fix ever since, thats about half a year, im out then since I don't even have the option of playing with the old engine, im not going to buy a new computer for poe when mine is a few years old..

So basically nothing has changed. "It's your hardware the issue" is the silent answer but some people totally know it's their way of patching things inestad..

Seems I did good by skipping yet again..

Runs fine on my wifes rig, which is about the same as mine.
While I do get crashes, especially in the Wildwoods, she doesn't.

I've only had one 'crash' thus far. The kind that kicks you back to Title screen so not sure I would count that as a crash.

But my god the load times and lag. Even in town, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised town lags me to heck and back now considering all the little particle effects every player is running now.

As for in game, having bad hang ups and studders where the game is clearly still going on it's end but I really can't do anything more than push all my defense and healing options and pray I'm alive when it catches up.

Now could this be my set up? Yeah sure, it's a GTX 1060 so is probably pretty outdated. And yet at the same time, PoE has been well known for it's bad lag spikes to the point 'Melee' is frowned upon as a choice when a lag spike can instant kill you at higher levels. This isn't me trying to debate on how viable Melee is or not, just that in my memory the problem was wide spread enough to influence builds, that's how much of a problem it was.

So I can't be entirely confident if it's my rig, my drivers, my connection, any other problems it COULD be on my end; or the well known problem of PoE having bad lag spikes.
