Not sure what's going on, before the patch I was fine to play, could run 100% deli maps with a bit of lag as long as sound effects was set to false.

Post 3.13.1
entering a new zone I'll be at the loading zone page minimum of 20 seconds, often more than the grace period, and i'll finally load in already dead.
clicking "exit path of exile" takes well over a minute, entire screen just freezes
as soon as i encounter a mob pack and fire a few toxic rains, my screen is completely frozen for 5+ seconds and then it unfreezes when i'm dead
constant crashes if the freeze takes too long
non stop dcs trying to enter areas
screen looks blurry as fuck
This all even occurs on a normal red map with no deli, no juice, nothing.

I've done a ton to try get the game to play smoothly, these things last at most a map and a half, and is still worse than pre 3.13.1
set shadows and sound effects to false
deleted both shader caches
setup auto clear cache every 5 mins
configured all poe in game settings to minimum
turned game mode off/all other relevant "xbox" settings


Does anyone know what could be causing this? I see a few other people having problems, but it's usually just with textures not loading/stuff not showing up (I'd kill just to have those problems)
PC is a bit on the lower end, bought it for $850 last year, it's a gaming pc with 8gb ram a ssd, can't remember what else.

One of my friend is going through the same thing after a windows update. Game is poorly optimized, maybe save your files on an external HD and do a full reformat.

Sounds like ur hard drive is dying, do other games have longer than normal load times now?

I'll try this

This is helped a bit, the video guide i followed said use dynamic culling, but set at attempt to maintain 60fps, but now i've changed that down to 20 fps and it's stopped the crashes, but the load times are still mega long.

If long load times the 2 main factors are HDD and ram.
aside from HDD dying, if it's hitting 100% disk usage, you will bottleneck, monitor your usage with task manager and report back.
Same with ram.

I've got an SSD i'm 90% sure. How do i monitor the usage? just open up task manager and see what it goes to before teh crash?

this happened just before a crash.

GGG´s "Devs" fucked the game up once again.

Besides this crappy deferred texture loading they messed up SMT processing on older AMD cpus ( first generation Ryzen 1xxx ) as well :rofl:

Fucking amateurs around there ...
