Petition to whitelist Optiscaler as a mod to POE

so.. i really want the community and devs attention here. (i want to also know that, if this is not possible to do, why not? im just curious to be honest)

POE1 is a game where no matter how many optimizations the devs are going to throw at it, its going to suffer from frame rate issues due to the way the game works. its cluttery, theres a lot of things going on, everything gets scaled to hell, and obviously we all love it. the devs cant really "fix" that, as that is how the game is played.

now i think, something like AI Frame Generation is literally PERFECT for a game like POE1, because it basically IGNORES all the calculations, actor/entity count that is on the screen. it just takes the picture and multiplies it. all it really needs to work well is a good enough base frame rate (30-60ish) and input lag optimizations like NVIDIA Reflex..

now, there are 3 ways to do AI Frame Generation.

CHEAPEST VERSION
there is Window Based, only gets fed picture data (Lossless Scaling does it, you can use it right now if you want, its not bannable as all it does is capture the screen) this is the worst version, needs the most amount of frames to feel good, and has the most amount of input lag (for some people this is still a viable solution)

MIDDLEGROUND
there is Renderer Based, only gets fed whatever DX12 can output as data (Optiscaler does it as a mod, but it requires tinkering with the files so its bannable) this is better than Window Based, but Worse than Engine Based. can mitigate a lot of input lag, needs less frames than Window Based to look good, etc

BEST VERSION
and there is Engine Based, which is a version where the devs basically implement frame generation directly to the engine and the system gets fed as much data as they want to feed it for the best result. if Engine based is done well, we will be able to pretty much play the game on base 30fps and feel like 60 without noticing much difference to real 60 fps (or base 60 and 120 after frame gen)

now, i dont really understand why GGG wouldnt want to prioritize implementing something like this themselves into the game (i would love to know why, just curious) but the thing is, if they dont want to implement it themselves for whatever reason, can we at least allow the Optiscaler mod SPECIFICALLY? like whitelist it for people to use it and not flag their account? its a bit painful we cant use it because this tech is, in my opinion (unless im missing something, the devs obviously know better), literally PERFECT for a game like POE's frame issues. those extra AI frames can mitigate those issues completely because the tech generates frames without CARING AT ALL about all the calculations that are happening. ill give a situation as an example to what im talking about:

Example how this could be SUPER useful
youre playing the game normally at around 120fps lets say. alch and go situation. and it works fine, no CPU/Engine bottlenecks at all. and then you decide to power up your build. for a lot of builds that means more clutter on the screen right? and then after you do that, you want harder content too right? which means more monsters, more effects, more loot on the ground, more everything basically. and your FPS tanks to like 60 or maybe even 40 and 30 because your CPU and the engine cant keep up. Frame Generation doesnt really care about what your CPU or Engine is doing. it just takes the picture its seeing, does some AI magic and multiplies them, and it does it so well, you wont notice the difference unless youre really trying to look for it. the screen in POE is cluttered anyway, no one is playing this game for its visuals.


by the way, some people think that when i talk about frame generation, its a "40/50 series exclusive feature" and most people cant benefit from it anyway

so, not really. FSR3 has a Frame Generation feature that can work on any GPU that came out in the last 10 years, and it works well (i used it in Monster Hunter Wilds, and honestly it worked better than DLSS Frame Generation for me in that specific game). also by the way, Optiscaler also does the FSR3 solution. so if the mod gets whitelisted, pretty much everyone will be able to use it and.. basically double their framerate.


this is pretty much it, i just want some feedback and maybe be able to discuss it a little bit and understand more as to why nothing is being done to make frame gen more of a thing, to a game like POE the amount of value we can get from it is very big.
