New Engine Patches uses twice as much CPU/GPU yet causes insane micro stutter and lag

Guys don't bash the devs. They do an amazing job.
I had the same thing starting 3.23, micro stutters and crashes. However, I've disabled engine multithreading and use dx11. That seems to have fixed it. Try it out.

The amazing job leaves alot to be desired, more than 4 months of the game being unplayable due to the poe2 particle system melting gpus across the board.

This patch, fixed my issues with micro stuttering. Now locked at 100 fps butter smooth experience again. :)

Same issues, game still unplayable.

Latest hotfix downloads, and now the client is maxing out my memory in task manager. I think it's safe to say that the quality is not being assured with these "fixes" and the like.

current patch is completely unplayable for me.. causing cpu overheating to the point of restarting my entire pc

literally no other game even pushes my cpu above 75 degrees but this patch is just maxxing it out to the point of damaging it

Doing the same for me in towns, but also maxing out my memory. What a shitshow this launch has turned into, literally becoming unplayable for a lot of folks.

Bro what is this fucking shader lag on every fucking zone

Also posting here to confirm this game is literally melting my CPU.

While my setup is fairly old, I had no issues playing and streaming PoE up until the particle patch earlier this year (Augst if I remember). Since then it became worse and worse.

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
Mainboard: ASRock Z370 Pro Intel Z370 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX Retail
CPU: Intel Core i7 8700K 6x 3.70GHz So.1151 WOF
CPU Fan: be quiet! Dark Rock 4
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop RAM Kit
GC: 8GB KFA2 GeForce GTX 1070 EX Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail)

I can stream many other, newer, and more demanding games without any problems with higher graphics settings, etc.

Something is just messed up with PoE. Then I was thinking, okay, maybe it is time and I just need new hardware and this will take some time to save up for that, but then I read from just every other person who has a better rig, different CPU and GC, newer generations, etc. who ALSO have the same problems.

It is not right that we have to use third party tools like BES Battle Encoder Shirase and manually unassign 1 core from within the task manager to make it playabale or enjoyable again. Something is really messed up for about half a year now with the coding of PoE. It literally melts CPUs and GPUs.

I just hope that this time around they gift us for christmas with something that really fixes these issues. I would really love to enjoy and stream PoE again. I will continue to try, but enjoyment is something else unfortunately.

Inside I'm crying. Also there is no point for me to buy another supporter pack, cause any MTX now eats up the CPU, making it even more unplayable.

Please someone at GGG fix this.

Was funny today

OS: Windows 11 Pro 64 Bit

i was able to play Alan wake 2 without problems and poe melts my pc.
