Particle Mod Tool

The OP is correct about (high attack speed) GMP Chain Ice Shot being unplayable in parties, whenever I have seen it, everyone lagged and quit the party or the player got kicked.

It's something GGG needs to fix, I don't think your Computer is at fault, as mine is pretty good too and the said skill is basically the only thing making the game run like shit.

my system.

1x ssd
1 gtx 680
8 gb ddr 3

So maybe try the game with SLI off. also delete in game dir install map the shadercache o something map. i do this once in a while and notice the game loads faster when you keep it clean.

I have top of the line PC with 2500+ Eur invested in it, and it's not enough in a 6 player party with everything on minimum....

Have a nice day.


Probably, you Video Card just doesnt have enough memory to store all that shitty particle effects, that litter screen. I think, it doesnt really matter, whether you use high-end Video card or not, GGG anyway dont use its GPU benefits.

And changing skills will have little effect, because that doesnt mean that other players will change their skills too.

As far as i know, particle effects are almost unfeected by currenct Graphics Settings. That is ABSOLUTELY wrong! An option to reduce particle effects density/quality would help a lot!

BTW, GGG, the main reason why i dont buy your microtracsaction skill/weapon/helmet effect is that all of them GREATLY DECREASE FPS!

Dont make the same error as D3 did. Give players and option to reduce lags in party. Save party play (which is completely broken ATM).

Totally agree, I have a 630 GT card and it performs the same as my friends 680 GTX, which is ridiculous. Particle effects are a huge problem in this game, and that is the reason why I have NEVER played in a party of 3+ people. And I mean NEVER.
Also, like 70% of people I know who like to play in party, use particle effect thingy that reduces the amount of those and even makes them non-existant. I might think - well, they are hackers and what not, but in reality, they have no other choice. I think, until they make the game playable in a full party, they should allow to use that particle tool, otherwise they are screwed. If they did allow it, I would maybe start playing this game again, because I got damn bored after playing 2,5 years solo.

TL;DR

Not yr system...

Its the game...

Ask a summoner...


sobs...
There's plenty of options that aren't 'illegal' or TOS breakers.

Look for any type of specialized rebuilt drivers that simply increase performance, its just a driver like anyone uses. Stuff like rivatuner (no longer supported, but plenty like it out there) that unlock in-depth changes that normal nvidia or amd control panels don't have listed. Also stuff like Swiftshader, lots of options really that are perfectly fine, just be prepared to experiment.

Yeah right, "optimized for gaming" my ass.
Try disabling SLI. See what that does for you.

Since when the CPU after a certain limit matters in gaming? ( i'll put you in troll category, the other option is....uninformed)

PS
This is my CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition. Please instruct me witch CPU i should get to improve my gaming performance ?

Poe is heavily cpu limited due to not being able to take full advantage of multiple cores, as well as not being fully optimized.
http://anandtech.com/bench/product/435?vs=837
Starting at 2500k and subsequent generations produce at minimum around 1.3 more performance with being able to reach at minimum 4.0 ghz as well as more performance per clock.
i dont get it why would someone make a game that fucks itself?
i really want to play PoE but not as a damn slideshow
it becomes really frustrating to have a game that you would like to play so much but cant because of extremely stupid issues like turning slideshow in any 3+ party
