Allow us to CHOOSE to use the old engine if we want. Done, problem solved and everyone is happy.

Never gonna happen, same reason why you cant use DX9 anymore.

game is dead for me

So is that it? Are the graphics problems supposed to be fixed now?

Well they aren't. DirectX is unplayable. Vulkan is playable but tons of assets do not get loaded. I can't see 75% of the monsters, myself, or my own effects.

[Removed by Support]

You guys going to even acknowledge there is still a huge number of players affected by this ridiculous engine upgrade after 12 years?

Apparently f****** NOT!!!

WTF GGG!!!

Cant we choose from old or new engine? The new engine sucks for lower end hardware.

There is no old/new engine. It's an update to the engine. Still the same engine.

Overly nitpicky much? You know what he meant.

New engine implementation should 100% be rolled back and be placed into Beta servers for people to try out.

Even high end rigs are getting slammed now - not to mention everyone on older rigs that cant even play the game now... Not a great plan... horrible decision making process.

With all graphic setting turned down, everything set what should make the game insanely smooth with incredibly low requirements is making my computer work harder than any other game I have in my inventory...

CPU: i7-107000k 3.80GHz
RAM: 32GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

Running monitor refresh rate of 60 and target framerate of 60 for the game just to minimize draw on my system for now.

Hitting a super stacked essence starts firing on all fans, CPU and GPU utilization jumps up to damn near 90% each. Hitting a large pack or a juiced strongbox makes the same thing happen.

Very slight stuttering every now and then in random spots...

Before the change I didn't have any issues. No load screens. No insane jumps in CPU & GPU utilization. Nothing wrong at all. Computer running nice, easy, and quiet. Currently, its playable - but not at all like it used to be.

I hope they do cuz it makes me feel sad that i cant enjoy the game anymore i could at least enjoy playing this game with a bad pc now i cant even walk on a map anymore..

would u mind give us an option where we can remove some of ur added features like more light shadows etc or just switch between the engines cuz damn i feel sad that i rly enjoyed the game for such a sort time also with the new engine u changed absolutly nothing in visual we dont play this game cuz it has awsome effects but because we like grinding a player or a customer for u that wants games with high effects or visuals would go to play something else and not this game why to change smth it goes so good for us and destroying it or why dont u make a beta server which u can download and log in from that so players can meet ur expectation and try it out how did that lack of managment happened at this i dont undesrtand

Its the last few weeks of a league, they always tested stuff like this at the end of a league. Like back then with Vulkan or DX12.

And i just tried PoE again and its runs great, im using an RTX 3080 and an Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
