PLEASE revert back the "optimization" update from 2.3

I really like the prophecy league itself, but your "optimization" of loading times COMPLETELY messed up the game!

- When I want to enter char selection, it takes 30 seconds
- When I choose a character, it loads 5(!) minutes and I have like 0fps during that time
- 80% of the time my game crashes during this process
- Int he other 20%, the game takes so long that I get into the login screen again
- After that the character and city loads quite fast

This whole process takes me up to 10 minutes (not taking into account the 4 restarts i have to make). It took me more then 30 minutes once to get into the game. But what's worse is the ingame lag spikes and the 0fps performance issues. 2 of my hc characters died in the labyrinth already, because out of no where my game started to have 0 fps. Even alt+f4 didn't help, since it took the game forever to close because the game eats so damn much ressources. I dont care about the cahracters, I made a new one already, but its still damn annoying if you die because of something you can't do anything about...


I tried to reinstall the game, but it didn't help and I closed all programms in background to free up my working memory. So please, revert this update back. I lose more time cause of crashes and lag spikes then I save from getting into the login screen faster. I rather have 5 minutes wait time at the start and have a smooth experience after that.

So sorry to hear mate, but i`m at the same boat.
I used to play on stable 30 FPS with some tweaks on my potato:

4gb ram
mobility ati radeon hd 4650 1GB
processor dual core x 2.4

But for me this MUST be enough for a game from 2009.
I can play diablo 3 in PARTY on stable 30 fps, there i`m playing on 30 fps only solo if i try to play with someone else ill play at 1 fps.

Before the patch i used to play split arrow build as i said on 30 fps without a single drop no matter whats the pack of mobs.
Then i tried lightning arrow it was horrible but still more playable... ( This skill is a problem to alot of ppls with rly rly good pcs the reason they aren`t fixing it "Its working well for some players" with maybe pcs for 3000$, but we can`t all pay that much for a pc" ).

After the patch when i throw an LA on medium pack of mobs my latency jumps on 5k+ and my fps goes down to 1 fps which is not playable. So i decided to try again split arrow BUTT there`s again an FPS drop to 10-5-1 fps on medium - big pack of mobs.

So yeah they messed it up and i`m rly dissapointed cause, instead of fixing the performace issues ( FOR ALL not only for the streamers with BEAST pcs i mean for ALL ) they are releasing patches with more premium features and items a.k.a mistery box.

GGG thanks for the good game but you already lost too much ppls and u will lose much much more including me.

I just dont understand why they dont just revert those specific changes to loading. I think it works great if you have 16gb ram in your pc buzt other then that, it's just a big step back when it comes to performance...

you are correct.... ggg does not understand about taking back code that does not improve game performance.... hell even in d2 lod with patches they would give the option to take away a patch if the game did not operate as well after the the patch as before. i have requested this a few times of ggg as game performance for me has gotten progressively worse every time they release any new game content.... they do not have a handle on their code.

Well if u think deeply about it u will realize that they are abit right.
But whats the percent of the active donators of the game compared to non active donators as me ( i bough some points to buy premium stash tabs ) its maybe 30/70% i`m pretty sure in that.
What will happend if they lose us all ( the non active donators with shitty pcs ).
The game will die very very quickly cause without population this game is nothing as any other rpg or mmorpg with free to play model.

So they must try to keep us all there and someday maybe we ( the non active donators and the active donators ) will decide to buy more points and to play leagues ( i don`t play league and i already mentioned why in the previous post ).

i understand what you mean... but how can you play league or anything with the design of the game the way it is when you cannot stay connected... i don't mind the portal system but for instance i did zana this morning, they only give you six portals, but yet i am just standing in the zone and next thing i know i am at the login screen... that happened until all my portals were gone.... it would not be an issue but the balance of the game is not there... until they make the game more stable why have this portal system.

Yeah i know that feel bro.
But the problem exists even on streamers as raizqt.
I watched him yesterday playing HC with drops from 200 to 5 fps.

Rage and pressure wont help in this case we are just warming the situation for GGG.

But how to tell them that we LOVE this game and we WANT to play it.
They don`t think it that way.. I believe for them we are just numbers as population that may grow or fall.
Which for me isn`t right. I remember once when i started to play Diablo 2 ( near 2002 ) every single player was special and we really appreciate it. The game was and still is the greaters RPG ever released. I know POE is developed by Condor a.k.a Blizzard North, but the attitude to the community is a little bit different and a bit disappointing.

About the patches and crashes.. I can`t remember when i got fps drops or crashes or glitches or smth after an update in diablo 1-2 even 3 ( 3 is a shame instead of the previous versions for me ).
They could do it! They could bring good and stable stuff to us. I think they just don`t want to, if this work for most of the players with beast PC`s then its allright. If it was unplayable for 100% of the community do u think that they would patch that slowly.. Nah i don`t think so.

As i said we are just numbers of population that may frow or fall. ( its a bit sad but its the ugly truth ).

i can see this to be true... especially the dumping of so much new content into the program so often on top of the known issues... pvp is so pathetic it is like some lame type of king of the hill or something. 0 balance in pvp.... condor huh...ok.

You meant ARPG, didn't you?

for the last 30min ive tried to play the game, got 5-10 crashes ingame and about 5-8 restart because nothing is loading properly, im sure 110% of the players would like to have 3-5min load instead of this, the game is just broken atm, UNPLAYABLE.


im not sure, but GGG was a new company on the beggining, and probably didnt have alot of money to put on the project, but now, im sure they can get the money to make this game on a new engine or smth like that, Valve did it with dota 2, they made the game on a new plataform so they can add new features and fix some really bad bugs, im sure GGG could do the same right now, make the game with a new engine get some tier 1 programers and fix everything, i cant imagine how many ppl would play this game if it wasnt so buggy.

sorry for bad english.
