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

Yep, game is still krangled from last league. It doesn't matter how much cool new stuff is added to the game if I can't play it. Please GGG.

First League that I need to quit early because of performances issues, huge fps drops, freezes, textures not loading, game crashing, f1 graph going crazy.
Eversince the performance patch they did just before 3.22, game performances have become worse and worse up to the point that I cant even play the game anymore.

CPU i9-14900KF
GPU RTX 4090

A few days prior to the league and the first 2-3 days of the league itself I had no issues.

Starting the morning of this post my CPU gets hammered loading into town, instantly skyrockets temperatures and stays that way in my hideout and beyond.

I have adjusted every available setting, reinstalled the game, validated files on steam, disabled sound in the config.ini, updated my GPU drivers for the heck of it, confirmed my shader folder is on the same drive as my game install. At this point and with this hardware I can only believe something is wrong on the games end.

Unplayable as is, I'm really hoping this is something GGG can just revert. :(

Same issue - 100% CPU 100% GPU usage (all processes closed -browser etc).
Lowest/highest settings/Direct 11/12/Vulcan (tested different combinations) - same result.
Max fps like 45, AVG below 30 (while mapping even few).

Not the newest setup but still for this game should be enough to play with const 30 fps.

Game unplayable.

we are talking about multiple different 4080 rigs from geforce now having the same issue i.e FPS dumps, crashes, overall non fluid gameplay, constant reloading of shaders.

The reloading of Shaders was added with the particle patch back in 3.22 if I remember correctly. Ever since Trial of the Ancestors the performance became worse. And it doesn't seem to be working as intended. It ALWAYS reloads Shaders when switching an instance. And it constantly loads Shaders again while playing, as can be seen in the graphs as well causing massive CPU spikes. I run a older setup as well, but I used to be able to stream poe just fine until July/August this year, and it became worse with the latest patch. It is a game issue for sure. My CPU and GPU can handle way more demanding games, but PoE kills my stream and especially my CPU.

Yep, noticed a huge difference from when i last played in 3.21. Is just worse now, esp the loading times. Doesnt make alot of sense since the "update" they did was meant to improve things not to make them worse.

Shaders problem and CPU spikes all the time.

I thought that was only my problem with my old PC.
Tried:
- Ram disk
- DX11/DX12/Vulcan
- Clear cache
- all settings in game

The best result:
60-100 FPS in hideout.
30-60 FPS in maps
The map loads from 30 to 90 seconds. Then you run into some packs of mobs, wait around 2-3 minutes to all shader spikes become normal and you can barely play the game, but it doesn't prevent CPU spikes.

CPU temperature goes up to 98-100C

Why is the performance getting worse if the game looks the same and it plays the same as it did years ago? wtf is going on.

also how does this game run smoothly on consoles? or even does it idk

have the same Problems, some maps / Instances are okay but than i get massive lag spikes Latency goes ping pong from 5 ms up to 5000. its very frustrating.

i have updatet Grafic driver, and delete POE and install it new but the same Problems.
