Stuttering and freezing (Partially Fixed)
Hi guys,
I'm trying to run Path of Exile on my Laptop (its a bit of a potato but still). Every 10-20sec I get slight stuttering that lasts for a few seconds but when I approahce a perandus mob, shrine or use a strongbox, breach portal or spawn beyond mobs the stuttering intensifies and the game even freezes which usually results in me dying. I can't even fathom doing any endgame bosses or higher tier maps as even the slightest stutter/freeze will kill me. I can upgrade to SSD but unfortuntely I don't have that type of money lying around. I am using an Eternet Cable Cat6a with Auto and my latency is around 30ms-50ms which is fine. I've trying messing around with Dx9e and Dx11 both with switching Engine Multithreading on/off. I've tried the --noasync and --nopreload (I don't know what they do). Graphics Cards - the game is currently using AMD Radeon HD 8650G + HD 8750M Dual Graphics which isn't changable. AMD Radeon HD 8750M

I've also tried lowering the Texture mode to 4 which doesn't seem to help alot and also removed a lot of the Skills so I've no idea what the enemies are doing. Last edited by Erichan on Jun 24, 2017, 11:29:14 AM Last bumped on Jun 24, 2017, 11:28:56 AM

I've been able to fix this now by using --nosound. I get a little bit of fps drop here and there but can now do most events ie strongbox breach portal without too much lag.
Why does this work? |
