Game freezes at random

have hard freezes after game start like 5-10 sec for each new action, even potions.
and random freezes for 1-2 sec in game.
after game is closed cpu load always >50%
Also been seeing this occasionally since half way through perandus.

I actually hadn't seen this in a long time until recently when I finally got to dried lake merciless for prophecy. Could it be somethign to do w/ higher level zones?

Also does anyone know of a way for me to debug this shit?

Logs Look fairly normal, a couple failed .bank files...

the game is also unplayable for me just lost a level 90 to fire plates in a merciless lab while doing a simple prophecy quest. surprised GGG isnt responding to this thread, guess im not playing any more poe. :P
i had the same problem if you are using the steam version you can set the launch option to --noasync
this fixed it for me also you can install the game on an ssd

hope this fixed the problem.
For the life of me I just can't figure this crap out! A year ago this game ran blazing smooth and fast on my current computer, now, after these expansions and bug fixes and upgrades the game is nearly unplaybale for me. Logging in is about 80% to 90% fine, nice, smooth and error free. But shortly after launching into the game and a couple minutes of game play my character gets stuck, freezes and about 4 to 8 seconds later there's motion on the screen again, but when the action resumes, it does so at fricking warp speed. It's like the game warps to try and catch up to itself some how.

This is very frustrating for me, because I feel like I'm kind of playing Russian Roulette with this game. For a while I'll keep my guard up awaiting the freeze problem and only attack small groups or single monsters. But when I drop my guard and go after the huge crowds, wouldn't you know it, the game says......"time to freeze up, be back in about 4 to 8 seconds"!

I've updated my Nvidia GeForce GTX 465 video card to the current drivers
I've upgraded my V.I.A. HD Audio Deck to the current drivers
I've upgraded my network adapter to the current drivers
I've run a very long and lengthly Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit update, no updates found.
I've upgraded my 2 Dell 24 inch monitors with the current drivers


Basic System Info...

Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
Nvidia GeForce GTX 465 video card in a PCI-Express slot
8 Gig's of Patriot DDR-2 system RAM
Western Digital 500 Gig hard drive connected by way of SETA
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor @ 3.40 Gigs
Netgear A6210 WiFi USB-3.0 high speed network adapter
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit "User Experience Index" score of 5.9


I have no clue, I get going and start settling in playing, a couple minutes goes by, my mind thinks.....get ready....any moment now. I've made a lot of various changes with my video settings, thinking something about the video setting could have played a part in my current troubles, haven;t found a setting yet that keeps my game from freezing up! It's just a shame that this game once used to be smooth and fast and flawless, now, it's not! All my other on-line multiplayer games run perfectly, Call of Duty 4, World of Planes, World of Tanks, Star Trek Starfleet Command III and many more, all run perfect, it's only P.O.E. thats being the problem child.

Thinking about putting this game totally on the shelf and finding something new to play!

I have the same problem, it is since 2.4

- Game freezes
- I have to wait ~ 5-10sec
- Game is like in fastforward
- Im glad that I did not die
- Repeat

Same here.

I tried everything.
-new drivers update
-swith back to old ones (tried 10 differents drivers)
-always uninstall fully the drivers (register with DDU etc)
-audio drivers update
-changed network cable
-tried every nvidia setting (quality to performance, post proc or not, vsynch or not)
-even tried fps limiter to prevent freezes (fps drops)


The game freezing, slowing down at random situations, especially with lot of animations and monsters density.
Fps from ~140 to ~10-20 for 3-5 sec

It kinda ruins game experience (countless deaths and hc is a no go)

Delete ShaderCache folder form your path of exile folder. Somehow it helped me. The game was unplayable freezes every few second and drops from the server during loadings. Now everything runs great, constant 160-200 fps.
Hey, at least you guys can play! With the recent patches this game completely freezes my computer! Hardware has been like, 100% tested and also swapped with other hardware. Mainly seems like it's not happy with drivers/windows processes but fuck me, I can't play for 30 minutes without the game freezing my system.

Thanks man, that worked for me! Deleted ShaderCache folder and have not had any problems with freezes after that :)

Scratch that.. Didn't work, shit is fucked up again :(
