Technical Support (Path of Exile 1) - (RESOLVED) Latency Spikes with ASUS GamerFirst software installed - Forum

Are you quite sure you're using the video card when playing PoE? All that driver stuff and dxdiag? Does the --nosound launch option fix it?	Posted by ionface#0613 on Dec 2, 2015, 5:33:53 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

I will say this IS new, because on my win 7 machine, I never had the game freeze for seconds at a time just because users were entering/leaving town. I play on the Washington DC server, and I never had any lag when I played weeks ago. This week, however, I have noticed small lag spikes (may be 1/3 to 1/2 a second) when in busy towns. However, in towns with few people or out on my own it's fine. I just chalked it up to the PoE server since my own gameplay is fine. So, when you say lag spike, how long? A fraction of a second or more than a second? I never see anything more than a fraction of a section. You said seconds, but just want to confirm that. And what server are you on? ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░░░░░ cipher_nemo ░░░░░░░░░░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Last edited by cipher_nemo#6436 on Dec 2, 2015, 8:15:31 AM	Posted by cipher_nemo#6436 on Dec 2, 2015, 8:14:20 AM Quote this Post

I really saw it as "unplayable" when in a town like A4 Merci (in standard, for example) Players constantly entering/leaving would basically leave me in a lock step 'deadlock' where I would see potentialy 1-2+ long second bursts of client-side freezing AMD Ryzen 7 5800X MSI RX 2080 Samsung 980 Pro SSD 32GB GSkill Trident-Z	Posted by Eep#5463 on Dec 2, 2015, 5:13:52 PM Quote this Post

Wanted to post a thread I found: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?49060-Game-First-III-Problems-on-Maximus-VII-Hero I uninstalled GamerFirst, and I did notice improvements in town - I still get spikes when players enter sometimes, but for some reason it felt more smooth. Could also just be time of day and not many people coming in/out.... Either way, I'll keep updating with things I find AMD Ryzen 7 5800X MSI RX 2080 Samsung 980 Pro SSD 32GB GSkill Trident-Z	Posted by Eep#5463 on Dec 5, 2015, 2:54:16 PM Quote this Post
Glad you found the source of this mysterious warpspeed bug, I had no idea ROG included a traffic shaper in the bundle.	Posted by ionface#0613 on Dec 5, 2015, 5:36:19 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
