My game has increased performance when i try using poe_x64.exe directly from poe folder instead using client.exe.



i always run the x64 exe too, but you made me double check and guess what...

the desktop shortcut i was playing from, was in fact ececuting the non x64.exe..

ran using the x64 and noticed slightly better load times in towns, so, thank you very much!

Can never finish any lab since 3.27, not even the very first

I'm having a hard time continuing esp for my 2nd (and the rest of my other) chars.

You can try DX11 as a temporary solution. It's laggy as hell, but better than nothing.
Just so grinding gears knows. This is a showstopper... I'm not playing their unplayable game solely due to the unreasonable increase in CPU load even when doing nothing in town.

I will not be upgrading my hardware just because the dev's broke the games user experience. I will just vote with my feet and leave.

I will also mention... I have never seen the need to ever post about any technical issue in the 10+ years I have been playing. That is how bad this is and how strongly I feel about it.

7+ years, but same story. I used this forum when I started playing and then only to read patch notes. And now I'm here, bumping this thread every day for a week.
Im getting terrible performance and this all started today , game was running fine all week until today , shader and drive graphic is all over the place , i already cleared all my caches in the %temp% local roaming. GGG please find a fix this !!!
Bro I can play games that released this year on ultra settings at 60fps just fine
Hades 2, Arc raiders, Expedition 33
All of them run incredible on my gtx1050
But PoE, a game that released back in 2013, runs like a turd, despite the graphics changes done to it have been mediocre, a game this old should not run like this
Hell people with better GPUs than me are struggling to play it.
The last time I was able to play PoE comfortably was back in 3.24 before the "optimization" patch of 3.25 that introduced these awful loading times and killed the frame rate.
Fix your game.
