Request for official Path of Exile 2 shader cache download (manual preloading)

Hello GGG team,

I’m writing to ask whether it would be possible to provide an official way to download the complete Path of Exile 2 shader cache (or make it available via a cloud link) for manual preloading.

Currently, shaders are compiled and downloaded on-the-fly when entering new areas or maps. Unfortunately, this causes a significant load on the CPU, which negatively impacts gameplay, especially during combat.

My current setup:
CPU – AMD Ryzen 5 5600
GPU – RTX 3050
CPU temperature under load reaches 75–80°C

Manual downloading of a persistent game shader cache that is not cleared would significantly improve the situation and prevent unnecessary CPU load every time a new area is entered. Could I please receive a download link for such a cache and a brief instruction on where to install it? This is genuinely important.

I understand that shader compilation is hardware- and driver-dependent, but even a GGG-provided baseline cache or a cloud-based optional download would be a huge improvement.

Thank you for your time and for your continued work on Path of Exile 2.


Kind regards,
ApacheXIII#0494
