An Absolute Fix To FPS Lag/Stutter And Performance Issues

After an unbelievable amount of tweaks, driver/OS reinstalls and looking up guides online, I've finally found a simple solution that fixed many of the performance issues i had

i have a pretty decent rig:

rtx 3070ti
ryzen 9 7950x3d
32gb ram 6400mhz
1tb ssd
1200 watt PSU


after trying almost everything i realized i completely forgot about
The “Standalone” Client

THE FOLLOWING IS FOR THE STEAM VERSION USERS
here are the steps I RECOMMEND:
1 - uninstall path of exile 2 using the "Revo Uninstaller" software (HIGHLY RECOMENDED)
2 - GO TO "https://pathofexile2.com/download" and download the game
3 - install
4 - go to your path of exile account through the website (or log in if not)
5 - go to "Manage account" and add an email (AS LONG AS YOUR ACCOUNT IS LINKED TO STEAM, ITS THE SAME ACCOUNT)
6 - verify, and it will ask you to create a password (make sure you save and not share with anyone)
7 - enjoy a smooth silky gameplay

for some reason, the steam version adds extra load on the game/ or it is less optimized (don't know really), but me and a few friends of mine are having a blast after switching to the “Standalone” Client.

i hope it will also help you :D
