Something is terribly wrong with Shaders since 3.27

I have 458 deaths on my leagu starter because of the game freezing during combat and I just die. Tried doing everything I could to bandaid the issue, but I’m done. It’s just unplayable this patch.
Would be nice for somebody acnowledge it at least. Some message in spirit of, yeah, its a problem, we are working on it...

Just loading into town, my game uses 4.6 GB of RAM and 2.2 GB of VRAM.

With your setup, that is over the amount of VRAM u have, maybe it is time for a gpu upgrade.


Read the thread before posting. I have no reason to upgrade my GPU when I can play any game just fine, except the ancient 2013 game for whatever reason.
Not sure about anyone else but every single time there's affliction forest on the map I have to restart the game afterwards. Pixelated, not fully rendered things, 3 fps, etc, etc, etc.

Next year in 3.28 they might fix it maybe otherwise poe 3 might fix things right?

poe0.2/10. Nuff said.
I had this issue and I managed to fix it for me at least. I had high CPU usage + temps, maxed out shader cache, and everything was always blurry.

I disabled windows game mode. (Not game bar, mode.)

Fixed my personal issue. Not sure *why* it was that impactful, but it fixed my issue. (Well, shader cache still fills, but I can play while it's doing it.)

This is definitely not the case. I closely monitor CPU/GPU temperatures. The highest I've seen is 60C for the CPU and 64C for the GPU, which is normal.

BUMP!
bump
This is awful now I can't even play maps where affliction spawns.

But hey poe2 league announced soon.

Meanwhile things are still not rendering properly a game in this state in almost 2026 would be used as a meme

Today is horrible with the freezes and crashes.

facepalm..
overloaded vram would spill into ram instead, yes fps drop but ram usage will be visibly high than normal.. yes this can be mitigated into using less vram demanding texture using swap method, but even so, dis texture swap would just crush the image fidelity, not the FPS.
