Potato graphics no longer works

I'm just curious but did you try the dynamic resolution option in the game ?
Setting it to 30 or 45.

It should maintain the fps by decreasing the 3D rendering resolution (no impact on the UI).


I have a good pc but when storm call was bugged (spamming it would tank the fps), i saw dynamic resolution working really well at keeping 60fps.

Dynamic resolution is nice thing and I it helps with some problems however dx11 client brings new problem. Shadows which cannot be turned of in dx11 client are causing the dynamic resolution to scale way too much (shadows are fps consuming in every game). Another problem with dx11 client is almost certain "unexpected disconnect" when changing location.

I was thinking of purchasing a new supporter pack but guess I'll just go buy a new graphics card instead. Was planning to do it eventually. It's just disappointing that GGG didn't mention it in the patch notes and screwed us over knowing full well it's going to be weekend and it's gonna be problematic upgrading the PC at such time. Really shame about the lack of communication with the player base

I just spent 2 hour trying to figure out why my configuration wasn't working. I was enjoying poe on my potato settings but now I can't?!?! My fps is terrible now!!

PLEASE BRING BACK texture_quality=4 !!! This is ridiculous. I am so pissed. I am not buying any new map tabs or support packs this expansion until it fixed.

same problem ... wtf do i do, buy new pc ?
I was fine with texturye quality eddited to 5-6 but now its very hard to play.

this sucks.

Yeah sad but true.
Im stuck at act 5, dc after joining to the next location.
Lags and more, literally unplayable. :(

i got 10 fps at act 6 literaly unplayable

I used to play on high before 3.0.0, then I lowered the textures because my HDD isn't the best one anymore. Now after the new patch I feel it's even more laggy and I wanted to put it even lower, because I knew that people were playing it on really low textures, but this is disappointing.

Except the harddrive I have a good pc and I can run most of the new games fairly well. I hope they will either bring back lower texture option or solve this performance issue somehow.

Bump for GGG Potatophobia / Potatocism.
