Feedback and Suggestions - PoE's performance is poor for a lot of people - Forum

I'm experiencing some issue too. Most recently a 30% Frame Time drop in Malformation Map (even without ground effects). In general I've notice slightly worse performance after 2.0 release	Posted by ammenz on Aug 18, 2015, 6:31:14 AM Quote this Post

please for the love of god move this to the top. My favorite and most expensive build can't even be played ( low life mjolner discharge ) because I go from 60-120 smooth frames per second to 6 seconds per frame depending on the size of the mob I hit. Just for fun I load double boss dry-peninsula and see how fast I can burn all 6 portals with disconnects. It's my version of the gorge speed run.... and it's plain stupid that I can DC 6 times, every time. blah blah trolls saying go buy a new rig can get rekt. Mine is only 1.5 years old and this is the only skill/unique combo that completely destroys it. echo "The world is full of smart people" \|sed -e 's/smart people/sheep/'	Posted by buhdunkadunk on Aug 18, 2015, 7:20:22 AM Quote this Post

In production_config.ini post_processing=true <- change to false resolution_height=1050 <- change to 600 resolution_width=1680 <- change to 800 screen_shake=true <- change to false shadow_type=variance_mapping <- change to "no_shadows" texture_filtering=16 <- change to "0" texture_quality=0 <- generally "0" means highest settings, "2" means low setting, but the really great part is, that you can put in a number way above "2" vsync=false Alexis smiles =@[.]@= boggled =~[.]^= naughty wink	Posted by Kwonryu on Aug 18, 2015, 8:33:57 AM Quote this Post
I recently bought new computer to replace my nearly 4 years old gaming machine, which was able to run PoE "just fine". New machine is i7-4790, 16GB DDR4, GTX970 4GB DDR5, 256GB SSD + 2TB WD Black HDD in preparation for Fallout 4, which will come this fall. I currently most frequently play PoE on this machine, which works very well. Loading times are virtually non-existent and the game only slightly lags in solo play when I round up huge packs that AOE it down. Is this good performance? Sure not, these are specs that can play Far Cry 4, Shadow of Mordor, Witcher 3 (this game is amazingly looking, sadly it is not my style of gameplay). PoE seriously need better optimization and code clean up. There is no better time to do it than after large content expansion. GGG should focus more on performance than content for a while to make PoE even better game than it is already.	Posted by Baron01 on Aug 18, 2015, 8:42:22 AM Quote this Post
running a 4 gig GTX960 and summoners make me cry. How is it I can run Guild Wars 2 or Final Fantasy 14 on Ultra settings but PoE kills me? Also now that I think about it, its only summoners. I get 30 FPS on stuff that kills other group member PCs. For example did a Zana mission and we ended up spawning a strongbox right next to a shrine in a Fracture Map. We had 2 dischargers and I still got 30 FPS which I considered great considering what was going on. So there has to be something related to summoners only because I can have a million mobs on screen with fracture and dischargers and everything is smooth.

But still his potato need to so many useless stuff like Disable all "the useless" services and stuff to play.

However, in my case, they only become apparent at high level mapping when there are certain mods on a map combined with certain tile sets and certain tempest effects. In the early to mid game, performance isn't a problem. No amount of options or configurations I've come across seem to positively impact this. I am still investigating, and the problem could be Windows 10 / AMD drivers. However, there are issues, and I think that optimization is something that could use a bit of attention in the near future. "I would have listened...

" Alea wrote: I had serious potato PC some months ago (2gb ram, dual core shit, adm graphic card) and was able to run POE in 1920*1080 middle textures quality, all others settings to minimum, and it was mostly possible by doing that service disabling (since POE was using up 1.5gb ram and windows without optimization was 750-1gb) Bring true arguments instead of acting like a kid please. For starters, some months ago is completely irrelevant. 2.0 has raised the system requirements. Multiple core processor is completely irrelevant. Speed is more important than the number of cores. AMD graphic card? You are able to say how much ram windows uses without optimization but not with? Which version of windows? " your framerate down from 60 to 40 1% of time and you call that optimization issue ? ask for a refund What do you want to call it? A bug? When a specific effect is changed to use less resources GGG calls it optimization. " I know im alone in this topic, because 99% of others dont have problems and are playing the game right now, i just wanted to help with that service trick, since it helped me in the past. Such ignorance. This entire thread isn't about "not being able to play" but rather, "optimizing play". You do a lot of shit talking for "just wanting to help". Edit: Don't bother replying. You just want to help after all. You already gave us your super POE optimization tricks, you have nothing left to say. <3 Free Tibet <3 Last edited by Opinionated on Aug 18, 2015, 3:36:35 PM	Posted by Opinionated on Aug 18, 2015, 3:33:17 PM Quote this Post
