Constant lag spikes, maybe shaders?

Heyhey 🙂


Since one of the earlier hotfixes in 3.27 I have been suffering from major spikes in frames. Seemingly originating from Shaders.
I've updated my graphics drivers, increased my shader cache, clean installed POE and tried numerous different settings.

Skills don't seem to matter, I've had this on a minion build playing Chains of Command.
Earthshatter Slayer with warcries (pretty much all of them)
And Castwhenstunned Chieftain, tons of fire skills.

GPU: RTX4060 16GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-cores
RAM: 16GB DDR5

Shader bar on graphs will be completely full while a massive spike comes in usually in maps but also in hideout in very low intensity moments.
Hoping to get this fixed through here as a last resort as it's pushing my towards quitting as to how unplayable this is.

Thank you,
-Rose

Same, All my friends are experiencing this too

Can confirm this happen. Constant lag and shader load with full usage. I have to stand still in the start of the map for 30sec - 1 min then it will be smooth..
