[POE2] Long loading screen

Also, GPU Utilization, 12% running at 43 degrees Celsius. CPU utilization 100% constantly. Seems like the game is trying to render graphics using the CPU and not the GPU.
Hello everyone! I had this problem from the first day of launch.

i5 4900f
1660 Super
16 GB RAM 2400 Hz


At the moment I installed the 4060 card, nothing has changed. I reduced the resolution by 77%, it became better.
Next week I will install a new Intel Core i5-14600KF processor and 31 GB RAM 6000 Hz. I will write about the changes.

Gateway: Moscow
P . S . Sorry for my English, this is Google translator =)
I've been playing on my newer rig and its been fine. Playing at 1440p

I7 13700K
RTX 4070
32 GB DDR5 6000
Samsung 990 PRO M.2 PCIe Gen 4

I tried on my old rig I gave my wife and load times are way too long. Mobs fail to load for several seconds. It isn't just when the map loads, it happens through the whole map. I'll be getting hit and not see anything. CPU is pegging out. I even turned the settings down some. Frames are hitting 100+

I5 8600K
RTX 3060
16 GB DDR4
SSD


It is still a viable and capable rig. I've played many newer titles and AAA games on it including Cyberpunk 2077. Kills me the wife uses it for web browsing =/

The game got some issues with the 8xxx and 9xxx cpu generations it seems.

i have i7 8700K & rtx 3070 and 32 gigs of 3000 mhz ram and game is installed to fast nvme drive and i got really really long loading times. Sometimes feels like almost minute to load on map or hideout.
is there any fix for this ?

The game was running smooth until I reach ACT IV.
Now I get stuck in every loading screen. It's very frustrating.

Switching to a different gateway 100% fixes the issue.

Canada East is 10x faster for me than Washington DC as an east coast player.


im the opposite..I've been playing with my Canadian friends on Canadian East but live in the midwest in US...but i switched to Washington DC and have the same problems... it is uplayable.... im going to play something else until they fix this.
Hello ppl

There are a few fixes, or tricks.

steam users:

Open downloads - then settings in the download section and then turn off SHADER PRECACHING.


Secondly you can open programs x86 - steam - steamapps - common - path of exile 2 - right click on pathofexilesteam and pathofexile_steamx64, select properties and click compability. Check the box RUN this program as compatable to windows 8, check it, then check the box RUN this program as ADMIN.
Then click apply and ok.
Do that to both of the PATHOFEXILESTEAM and PATHOFEXILE_STEAMX64

I found out that steam was causing the issues. I deleted all files on steam linked to poe 2.
Then i downloaded the stand alone client, and its running alot smoother.
