Something is terribly wrong with Shaders since 3.27

No clue what happened to shaders but they can't just leave the game in this state forever. Something has to happen, sooner or later.


I'm almost certain the league has been abandoned, and at best, we'll get an fix in 3.5-4 months. Or we won't get one at all.

Yeah most likely. They're busy with PoE 2 patch now with this 4-month cycle, so the best we can hope for is even an acknowledgement of the bad optimization, and a fix in 3.28. It sucks.

Well, support told me that this problem was passed on to the right people, but I highly doubt that. Otherwise we would have seen a post about this.

BUMP PLEASE GGG
bump
dx11 might be playable until you find affliction or a hive fortress after playing a while then the entire game goes to pixel mode and 5 fps inestad of 2 fps on dx12 and the game can still stop rendering if there's too much stuff happening on the screen with dx11 so it's not a massive solution either

there's unironically no fix in sight.. they seem to not care or they dont know what broke. I'm getting my last 4 challenges and leaving most likely. Not even a NES game has the pixel level this patch has reach with the performance

"The strange voice showed Aul a future where his legacy was forgotten, where new cultures broke themselves upon Aul's ruined world."

Take me back when poe was the actual focus.

It's been the same pattern every league for the past five years:
1. Release.
2. Exactly two weeks of patches.
3. The league is abandoned, they are going to develop PoE2 (which, of course, does not affect PoE1 in any way)
4. A couple of minor, unnecessary fixes at the end of the league.

The worst part is that this is also true for PoE2, and both games suffer as a result. This is the only reason I have three support packs instead of twenty. The decrease in content quality and performance.

P.S. DX11 is unplayable for me too. 90+ fps in hideout, but as soon as I see mobs on my screen, it drops to 30-35. Ultimatum? 5-10 fps at best.

bump. GGG pls acknowledge
Also experiencing the same issues described here by multiple people.

Performance was good in Mercenaries and during week 1 of the current league, so I know it's not an issue with my computer. Something went wrong likely after 3.27.0b was released, or maybe 3.27.0c (though this thread was started before that patch). For me the game performance went to the gutters around that time.

It's nearly unplayable for me in the past few days, I legit can't even alt tab to my browser. If I change zones after tabbing back to PoE it will freeze during load and will crash to the log in menu. I've never seen anything like this before.
It's a lie to tell people that upgrading their pc will solve heinous bugs.
