Rain and Load Times
" That's one of the best "So you're saying [insert something the guy didn't say at all]" cases I have ever seen on these forums. *slow applause* IGN : @Morgoth

" Haha, did you tried to google AMD and poe performance together and see the complain about it? If "good GPU" and "AMD" don't go well, the best of AMD card can't stand the worst of other brand, why should they still exist? This terrible company should go bankrupted already. I'm not asking them to optimize their game to fit my AMD card, i just ask they give me the CHOICE to remove rain so that i can play the game! There are half of the tile set has rain and I can't play there, it's not fair. If you can't give us the optimization, give us the choice. And please, the opinion kind : i don't have problem, you shouldn't have it, if you have it, go suffer alone, i don't care is extremely selfish. One day, you will have trouble somewhere, and you will find no one side with you, and you will understand. | |

I think the issue is the FPS drops and the fact that most, if not all, areas with rain have the most other stuff in them to be loaded in. Best examples are:
-post-1.2 Crossroads -Docks (and the map equivalents Wharf, Pier, and Shipyard) -Ebony Barracks (and map equivalent Promenade) -Fellshrine Ruins (and other equivalents like Catarina's hideout, Cemetery, and Graveyard) -Imperial Gardens (and map equivalent Courtyard) -Dominus fight in the Sceptre and the Palace map (not in the Residence map) I feel the best solution to all this is to add what players have been asking you all to add for a long time. That is the option to simply turn the rain off. People will stop messaging you about rain causing longer load times if they can simply turn it off. It is also one of many FPS issues that will be resolved for the many people (including me) who play on bad PCs. | |

It's not just rain, it's frozen ground, poison ground, all that stuff.
Whenever my girlfriend has trouble loading in(10+ seconds) it's exclusively in those maps. But, that's negligible. What's worse is her frame rate, lag and general computer performance in those areas. Are they graphically more intense so the machine has "more" to do? |

" I quote you what he say: " Let's me explain me what he mean if you can't understand: he mean that, you either buy a better pc or get the fuck out of here, we don't care about your poor pc problem. We casual player don't invest money on gaming PC, do you got it? If my PC isn't have enough spec to play, please make a message before installing and say: please buy a better pc before playing this game, we will get it. That's what casual player do: we install a game, it can't run on our pc, we remove it and move on to another game. We don't buy SSD or change GPU just for one specific game, and i do put my time here because i think this issue can be easily fixed. | |

The only issue i have is when players enter a zone via the TP. Lags out for like a sec but thats it.

" It was more of a joke but everytime, whatever game, when someone has a mysterious problem with gpu, they're using AMD. Also, when you take AMD and compare with the similar priced nvidia, guess which ranks lower on gpu benchamarks? Anyway, I'm not hating on anyone. You should post your specs (if it's 1k+ rig, you should be able to play poe with it) and the problem you're experienced on tech support forums and see what they can do. | |

Since I bought my new potato I have no real pressing issues with the poor optimisation of this game. That said:

" WTF is wrong with you people?? People are asking for an option to lower/disable particle effects, something which is more or less standard, and have been for years in pc games. And you want that option NOT implemented because you're not going to use it? What's it to you? Does the option being there somehow interfere with your gaming? How? Take your epeen wielding and general dumbassitude outta here. It's offtopic, and not needed. Kthxbai. On topic: As mentioned no real problems on this potato:

WIN 8.1 64-bit
Intel Core i7 4710-MQ 8 GB RAM Intel GTX 880M 4GB Samsung EVO 500GB SSD And yeah, it's a laptop, and yeah, thats dedicated videoram. No real problems with particle effects; HOWEVER if lots of particle effects are combined with multitudes of corpses and items and groundeffects and shrines and so on... Yeah I get fps drops, but not unplayable. My old laptop (toaster spec now) could have a -50% difference in FPS if there was rain.

" I have an i5-2500k and an AMD HD6850 I can solo all map with 60 FPS 40-60 if I play COC. In party it is the same until COC players come in. This VGA is 5 years old. My friend bought a far better PC 2 weeks ago for 550$ (with an R9 270). So what exactly is your 1000$ PC? It should be a very specific problem (or you are just too perfectionist).
