I bought an SSD specifically to deal with long loading times and yet it's now SLOWER than my HDD from 2008, TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT!
In 3.21 i had 3-7 second loading times.
In 3.22 they went to 15-30 seconds and now they are at 1-3 MINUTES!?

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK DID GGG DO TO THIS GAME?!



new specs are gonna be:

OS: Win10 64bit
CPU: ryzen 5700 8core @4.6 Ghz
RAM: 32GB DDR5
GPU: Geforce RTX 3050
Storage: 500GB SSD

If this doesnt take down load times IDK

So a "Mid tier" PC. Using Vulcan & All lowest settings possible. Had major issues with long loading times into instances, especially into towns and hideouts that had multiple other players.

Things I did that, when combined, seemed to help a little:

-Stopped using any MTX
-Completed clean GPU driver reinstall
-Verified integrity of game files in steam(Pretty sure this one did nothing actually, Lol)
-Reinstalled the whole game and removed all my custom settings from game and Nvidia panel
-Forced shader cache size into 10GB from Nvidia panel settings
-Forced no sysmem fallback from Nvidia panel settings(Still running tests on this)

Seems to have helped a little. Still collecting shader cache so can't really be definite about performance issues, multiplayer load times and other things, but solo load times have indeed lessened- and continue to lessen as I save more instances. Maybe I'll post again if there continues to be issue with long multiplayer load times.





Unfortunately my fat loading times still remain. I have pinpointed the issue though: It's 100% confirmed to be MTX.

Solo load times into instances without anyone else are back to single digit seconds. Sometimes even instant. Multiplayer situations are horrible, though.

I got the confirmation when I was testing trading with other players in my OWN HIDEOUT, which when solo playing would load almost instantly. On instances of trades and other interactions I would purposely let the other players load into my HO before loading into it from maps myself. This made it so that the loading times were ranging from anything between 10-25 seconds instead of the usual second or two.

Naturally this further extends to other public zones like heist or just act towns. And it is unlimitedly amplified depending on the MTX complexity. Sometimes load times can even be as long as a minute.
i knew it was MTXs but GGG will never admit to this, need to sell mtx
Just adding myself to the list of people dealing with this. Did all the same stuff others have done, nothing really seems to help.
Same here - Game is unplayable - pls post this on Steam Review as bug and Error - Maybe GGG will then hear us player
I can only add my voice to the crowd. Leveling a new char I feel I'm spending more time in loading screens than in game. This is horrid.
Same here long loading, I hope thy will fix that soon it's annoying
I have SSD and before wasn't doing that

Same here, SSD too.

Last league was okayish, since Affliction start it's often 30 - 40 seconds or even more.
for me vulcan gives way worse loading times. dx11 seems better
Finished setting up new rig.

Specs

OS: Win10 home 64bit
CPU: Ryzen 9 7900x 12 core @ 4.7GHz
RAM: 32GB DDR5
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3050
Storage: 500GB SSD GPT not MBR

using all default settings on fresh install of Poe
directx 11
Windowed with chrome in background
All my cosmetic MTXs

loading to first town took 2-4 secs, to hideout maybe 1 sec

Im officially off the list of long load time players! and it only cost me $1,000 early xmas present to myself
