Crazy cpu usage after update.

GGG seem to be ignoring this major problem.

I guess ill have to join the hordes or people that have already quit.

Shame because the ascendency changes are quite good for most classes.



I feel so bad for you, supporting ggg every league by spending money and getting that performance result
Seldom do I ever come to post on the forums, but since this patch my cpu usage has also gone sky high. I have a very highly spec'd computer built about 8 months ago and in town my CPU usage is currently 70-90 percent.

This was not the case until this morning, as of last night things were fine. I do not know what was changed in that last 78mb patch we downloaded but it has screwed up performance big time.

Figure it out!
Posting as I noticed the same.

I was wondering why I was getting input lag when moving gems to gear and seeing my fps go from 60 solid to 0 in town constantly, check cpu performance tab under task managed, PoE eating through 60-68% cpu usage.

What the actual **** GGG?

I've had PoE in last league and previous run anywhere between 20-32% cpu max, but this is taking the biscuit on usage.

FYI its a i5 i5-7600K running at 3.8ghz, hardly underspec or old, built entire new last Jan and running a 1070 and enough power and cooling to keep the machine at a chill 25C idle most of the time.

I really don't appreciate seeing 60%+ CPU usage on a game which is no where near a top end graphics and cpu intensive game.

Already was reluctant to play with the pokemon garbage but this ontop is pretty much a don't bother playing league.
Also noticed the same. Constant data errors when going to new zones. Cpu/gpu at 90+%. Don't want to mess up my computer so i'm not going to be playing until they fix things.
Having the same issue. I can't open other programs while having PoE open or I get warnings/errors or things just close. Never had this issue until one of these hotfix patches. Can't even open a browser + PoE so no trading :(
Same
Gpu's downclocking, gpu utilization 30% cpu 80% in empty hideout with 25 fps.

What in gods name have you done GGG.

Sort the fucking game, just rollback 1 hotfix, it was all fine before the last hotfix!!!!

And stop letting school leavers optimise the game.

I have the same issue here.

Before 3.2, I used to have 2 poe games open + google chrome even with OBS.

Now, it is literally unplayable when I have those 2 poe games open.

There is something going wrong with the cpu management obviously, because 1 instance of the game is using 100% of the cpu.

More and more people are reporting "freezing/lagging/crashed" problems, I guess most of them seem related to that cpu and performance issue.

I would love to get my old poe gaming experience back, because it's unplayable right now.

thanks you for your consideration
You guys try disabling Dynamic Resolution? I seem to be back in business without that on.
