you have no friends

can confirm, on ryzen 1600 and since the update i cant play unless i want to just waste ports, not do bosses etc -,-

I've completely reinstalled the game. Idk why, but it turned the ggg.pk folder into a massive 48gb file and my computer kept trying to "allocate space" everytime I tried to open POE. It would just fail and not open. Lag still really bad, so I've just been playing SSF rather than the big deli maps.

steam or native launcher?

All went fine since update..

Are you using 1600mhz ram?
Not sure if it makes a difference, but it is probably an outdated ddr3 memory which does not perform well on certain games
