Can you please explain what 'added support for dualsense controllers' actually means? Or direct me to where I can see the detail. Us console users are obviously second class citizens but when you do eventually throw us a bone it would be nice to know about it. Thank you.

Why doesn't any other game force me to compile shaders and endure the game's terrible performance?
a shame.

Actually most modern games do force you to compile shaders on the PC. The only way you'd not have to do that is if you play PoE on the PC and every other game on console. Shaders are hardware specific, so they need to be compiled for every machine individually. Since consoles are all the same you can precompile shaders for them. You can't do that for PCs since you don't know what combination of CPU, GPU and memory someone might be rocking.

If you haven't noticed shader compiling in other games that's a good thing, but virtually all modern 3D games will have you compile shaders. Some might try to do it before the game launches and you wait a few minutes when you first launch the game, some might do it when you first enter a mission meaning your first mission/map/zone is going to suck performance wise, some might spread compile around so you never have that much of a performance hit at one time. But again, virtually all have you compile shaders.

Just because GGG highlights this in their patches doesn't mean other games don't do the same thing.

comrade, what are you saying?
The last time I had bad gaming performance was when I was using an office laptop for gaming.
After buying a good computer, POE is the only game that works disgustingly.
Hell, give me that button that will compile all the game's shaders ahead of time so I don't have to do it after the fact.

Right before Ancestors league, the terrible update that screwed DX11 (at least in my case) was supposedly putting more asset loading on the fly and there did not seem to have an actual option to properly pre-load those assets !

I mean, there are obviously things loaded in virtual memory, but come on ... One day the game runs fine, smoothly and the next day, because of a performance patch, the whole thing is barely playable ?!? (I haven't tried this patch yet, but last year's fiasco was enough a terrible and unnecessary experience)
