Performance is getting worse with every patch

Of course, claiming the game is unoptimized does not make it true.


Yeah it does. Makes it true for me.

If I strongly believe I’m a billionaire, I’m sure it’s going to be true. I’m just not entirely sure whether GGG or any other company would actually let me invest those imaginary figures though, so I might have to show them some actual numbers and facts to support my strong belief.

I know right? Objective fact, it's optimized enough to be played on a mobile handheld like the Steam Deck. How cool is that?

Its an objective fact that the optimization sucks for any backported PoE 2 assets, any effects like delirium,originator maps,bismuth particle effects make fps drop by half for some people nonstop, and all the eagon miniboss memory maps also have horrible performance.

And nothing can ever change that objective fact.

I know, right? It’s honestly wild how something so small can deliver more than enough power to run the game smoothly. But it makes sense, the technology inside isn’t from a decade ago. At this point, even most smartphones outperform entry level hardware from 10 years ago. The pace of technological progress is pretty crazy, innit?

Thankfully, gaming benefits from those advancements too, and GGF has done a solid job keeping things moving forward instead of staying stuck in 2014.

No Toforto, that’s not an objective fact, that’s your personal opinion. The objective facts here are that facts and opinions are not the same, that the game is overall well optimized, and that it requires more performance than your PC can provide. If you have any valid proof that the game is not optimized, outside of gut feelings and opinions, feel free to share a proper source with everyone.

The proof is all the people with good PCs still having performance issues,crashes etc. all of those posts are in the forums omegalul

And nothing can change that.


Also stop calling people's PC's insulting things like "entry level" or "landfiller rigs", that's toxic. And its rude to people who can't just "buy a new PC bro".

Pashid has a good pc, so do I. Streamers and Youtubers have good pc's, most people who just play the game without complaining on the forums have average to good pc's.

Evidently, performance is fine for the majority of players - it's just some outliers like old hardware / bad configurations that are having issues.

And nothing can change that. This is an objective fact, backed by evidence, statistics and thousands of hours worth of videos and Twitch vods.

Ah yes, because streamers and content creators are definitely the majority of people. More proof that you need a streamer PC to play this game I guess. Thanks for perfectly proving my point.
