PoE's performance is poor for a lot of people

" My fps are normally synced to the refresh rate of the monitor I use, and they are like that for much of the time. However, in the situations I describe, my fps dip to 10-15 and wildly fluctuate. It makes things difficult in those situations. I'm not even saying it is for sure an issue with the game itself, but possibly a problem with how it interacts with AMD drivers. Whatever the cause, there is an issue that needs to be addressed. I've replicated the issue on a couple systems now. Mine I mentioned earlier and a completely separate machine running an i7 4770 with 8GB of ram ( sorry, don't recall the frequency ), a mechanical black WD drive, and an R9 270x. That system was completely separate from mine and running on a much more stable connection. The issue remained. It seems unlikely that an problem on my machine is replicated on a completely separate machine not owned by me, not in my house, and not using my connection. It's possible , but pretty unlikely. I'm a rather outspoken supporter of the game, but I think there is definitely something to this. Especially since the problem doesn't seem to happen ( to me ) until high level mapping. It happens solo, as well as in parties. Unfortunately, I don't have any decent nvidia hardware atm to compare with. It isn't pure system horsepower that is the problem, as both the machines I've used should have been more than capable. It's the variance that is most annoying. Having good frames for much of the time and have these specific situations that have such a drastic impact on performance. "I would have listened... I would have understood!" - Scion
Have you removed Asus ROG/GameFirst yet? |

In case some didn't know, everything that wasn't bought yesterday is a potato or low computer, and next week your new PC today is officially potato. Just toss it out and get a job...BUY MOAR. Can't wait til we have quantum computing PCs for $600. at Wal-Mart in 10 years, maybe they'll run PoE without disabled settings.
BTW - Win10 is a huge fucking spyware/peer-to-peerware piece of shit, even more than previous Win versions. But it's "free" so it's OK, right? Derp. Last edited by Arthikas on Aug 18, 2015, 7:07:18 PM

15 fps is average for me. 30 fps tops. I drop to ZERO fps constantly for 5-15 seconds and the game is unplayable. I used to be able to count on life leech to see me through the spikes, but that is also destroyed now. I really love this game but with so many poor mechanics and poor fps, its getting hard to defend playing this game even to myself. I want to have fun, but every time I start to I die without ever seeing what killed me. TOTALLY demoralizing when trying to map and level to end game. I know GGG are trolls and dont want the player to have fun, but at least let me move or see the screen.

To the top with you.
I wanted to type up something similar, but I guess this saves me the work :) " Those two options are the only ones that can't be adjusted via the ingame options menu, and they still do nothing on a decent machine. With everything on max and vsync turned off, my fps fluctuate between about 225-575 while playing through act1-3. Masses of enemies or summons don't bother me at all, but that changes drastically when ground effects or spammy party members are involved. On maps with xxxxx-ground, even when solo, I get drops to sub 40. On the crappy notebook I play when away from home this gets even worse. Even with everything turnd to min, AND playing in "Lego-Quake" mode weather/ground/spelleffects kill the fps to the point of framedrops. It became even more evident with the tempest league. xxxxx-ground + spammed spell effects are a complete nightmare. On the notebook I have to wait for the bosszones to be tempest free to attempt them, not because of the buffs/debuffs, but because they about halve my fps, and that's without the boss spamming it's skills/summons. Act3 dom fight with inferal burning tempest = single digit fps. | |

Press F1 while standing in town in Act 4 not moving or anything and watch the drop offs. It tends to drop even right down to zero even, in little spikes.
Not moving, not casting spells, just standing there. Sorry, it isn't settings, isn't the Video Card, it isn't unoptimized windows services, it isn't potato computers. All of those free up a little memory that is like applying band aids to a heart attack. I imaged a fresh windows installation that only runs POE from an SSD and it's still doing it. It's something in the game code that was added during 2.0, guessing it's Netcode related. Last edited by RockGod on Aug 19, 2015, 9:03:06 AM
