High CPU Usage and Low Performance in Path of Exile 2

There seems to be 2-3 different issues in this single thread, but are separate. Anyway an update for me, i was able to play last night mostly stable for several hours, crashed a few times after that but nothing too crazy. This morning i was playing for many many hours without a crash, but once i did i crashed and crashed and crashed over and over again, sometimes within seconds of re-entering the game world.

Not sure whats going on since it's so random. Crash is still a silent to desktop crash, specs are somewhere else in the thread (linux), so all these windows fixes are irelivent to the (this particular) actual problem

With all the nvidia issues and crashing/freezing. Switching to vulkan is horrible
I seee my fps drop all the way to 30-40s, even if the screen isn't full.

Definitely need to take a look at performance and why the nvidia issue persists since the game release
Same problem for AMD Users.

Intel 10700F
32GB RAM
AMD RX6950XT 16GB

and i have drop for 10 fps or less, we need nasa PC for play poe2

i have graphic configuration is minimum and i can not play abyss because my screen freeze literally.

PLS FIX endgame FPS! every game i have 80-144 fps (red dead redemtion 2, diablo 4, cyberpunk, kingdomcom2 and more) and poe2 in late game if i buff my maps i have extremly fps drops and laggs...... PLS FIX IT or the game is Gone for me.... but i hope you change it because the game is very nice only performance really sucks...

plz check this to fix your perfomance issues, maybe also GGG looks into it for adding this to the game settings via hotfix or whatever, goodluck best regards !

6:24 min video to fix it

also GGG plz answer about how much shader chache size is needed to have an good average of loading time, players can min / max this on there own, my opinion ! ? ! ? !
