WinMTR v0.92 GPL V2 by Appnor MSP - Fully Managed Hosting & Cloud Provider

I've been playing the game for the whole weekend stragiht because of the new league, gave my pc a break then when i came back the frames where all over the place.

List of my attemps to fix it.
-Waiting
-Restarting
-Trying every possible setting combination
-Set it to lockstep
-Set it to Predictive
-used guru to limit the frames after my monitor
-tried MSI gaming app
-Used system mechanic to clean
-restarted again
-Tried using both the steam launcher and the standalone
-Wrote to support and checked forums and now im here
-i might have done more stuff to my pc but at this point idk

If you need more info from me just say so
donno what to show you from my dxdiag cuz i have no clue how to attach files to this forum, and i dont know what part of it you want, its alot of text.

Hopefully this is a picture of my game... if not idk how to put at picture unto this.

ups how did this get here XP

"
I AM THE LAG; THE LAG IS ME; I AM THE LAG; THE LAG IS ME;
I AM THE LAG; THE LAG IS ME; I AM THE LAG; THE LAG IS ME;
I AM THE LAG; THE LAG IS ME; I AM THE LAG; THE LAG IS ME;
I AM THE LAG; THE LAG IS ME; I AM THE LAG; THE LAG IS ME;




This is an edit, not a solution in anyway:
So my conclusion on this, is that the game is simply poorly optimized.
I ran some test together with a friend, and find it that, path of exile pulls more gpu usage than BF1.
The temperatur on my graphics card goes upto 65-72 degrees celsius, when playing for two minutes, so i tried customizing msi afterburner to run at a higher fan speed when hitting does temperaturs, it works, for now.
When doing "flashy fights", like spiderlayers boss fight the framerate immidatly drops below 100fps
where it had been going " steady" between 153-132fps before, my wildstrike build does not help either.
Arc seems to cause massive load when chaining on more than 4 enemies.
I have more and i would make a vid or gif or something but cant be bothered till i actually see some response or something on this, for now i can "play the game" not good, not even meh, but i can run it and i can run around and do stuff.
Kind regards,
Lag is not a problem, but a feature.

Your welcome to read everything below but thats all my information on my game and all the problems/solutions i have.
(smileyface)

Not the last update...
so my pc when ever i open up path of exile makes a wierd little rattle noice, i couldnt here it before but i opend the cabinet and ran the game to see if all fans where doing their thing and i could clearly hear it, i tried other games. But its only when i open path of exile it makes it, at first it sounded like one of the fans wasnt mounted right, but i checked everything and its only when i open poe... i dont get it, what is this. somekinda hardware fail caused by path of exile... im even more confused now
The noice comes from the cpu cooling or somewhere near that, im using wind cooling


Update:
I'm back where i started, im crashing, im lagging in frames, and the rubberbanding has been taking to a whole new level
-Not solved yet

Another update i guess:
"
"I’m getting frequent framerate spikes while playing.

We’re still working on preloading some effects, so you should cast skills like Summon Skeletons that have load-intensive effects before you enter combat. All monster effects will be preloaded in future.
If you have regular framerate spikes, every 2 seconds, then you’ll need to updated your graphics card drivers and adjust your driver settings.

● Check that the GPU isn't overheating: increase fan speed, clean out dust.
● Ensure it's getting enough power (High Performance/Maximum Windows Power Settings)"


should i buy a new pc im confused, what are you trying to get at here.
My psu only runs the internal mentioned below and nothing more than a keyboard and a mouse.
and i dont believe that i cant run the game on minimum settings and still lose frames like crazy becaus im missing a little power.

i dont know why im even trying...
atleast BF1 is getting dlc tomorrow so thats nice

Update:
-So i tried uninstalling my display driver and reinstall, no help.
-toggled post processing off, it runs smooth for longer periods of time but still drops
-using vsync just makes the drops between 144fps - 72fps
Dungeons IIII
Update:


better but still dropping frames
Dungeons IIII
Your specs are almost identical to mine and I'm having the exact same problem since 2.6. The main difference is I have a 970 and 8gb of RAM. The framerate seems to completely ignore vsync and I cannot play currently. Another seemingly related problem I'm having occurs when i close PoE: I completely lose control of my mouse and keyboard for about 15 seconds. It's even worse in fullscreen mode because the screen goes black and sometimes won't ever recover. Sometimes I can't even get PoE to start again without restarting Steam.

I've tried rolling back nvidia drivers, using a frame limiter, disabling effects, changing network modes and restarting my PC.

I'm not claiming that I've never had any problems with PoE before but all of this behavior is new for me with 2.6.
Update:
-first thing i did when starting my pc up today was open path of exile to see if anything had changed
it did not change.
thought the drop in frames are less freequent they are still quite noticeble and im still not daring enough to play on with this, it keeps freezing sometimes where it stops for a few seconds, not like desync where i cant respond and nothing moves for like 0.5 seconds

todays picture:
Spoiler


-it seems some of my friends is experiencing the exact same problem, and one died to a frame freeze bug where he couldnt move for a second and then got insta rekd
This is taking casulties we need help!
