Something is terribly wrong with Shaders since 3.27

I back after I give up beacouse I realized that I didnt check DX11, beacouse few leagues ago something was terrible wrong with it and i was forced to play on DX12 or Vulcan. And on DX11 is much better ofc I still have to weak CPU but my weak GPU 1050 is now fine with lowest setting on HD. Game is playable now...

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.

Thank you. At least it's playable on dx11. Like you, I was sure that dx11 was broken, like in the last league, and I didn't test this option.

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

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
"Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."

Poe 0.2/10

Returning to poe in 3.27: ATROCIOUS game performance, 5/10 league and I apprently missed the loot back in the last league. The more things change the more they stay the same..

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.
