Fps drop when water is in the screen.

Can't even kill Brine King because of this issues. It came with newest patch.
Never had issues before.

This happens at the black heart too. So annoying, fps drops to 3.

Having the same issue running i7 4770, geforce 1080 ti on the latest drivers, poe on an ssd and fps drops from my 144 cap to 5 at the fountain in oriath

Had the same issue, changed the water detail level from high to low... now it works

Glad to hear its not just me...any word on fixing this?

I'm having this problem too. Framerate drops to around 2-3 FPS when water is onscreen. With "Water Detail Level" set to "High", the problem occurs in many places. With this setting at "Low", the problem goes away almost entirely. There are (at least?) two situations where the problem still occurs even at the "Low" setting: by the waterfalls in the Mud Flats and during the Brine King fight when the water rises up. I haven't played acts 7 through 10 yet nor any maps.

I read a post (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2517663/) which suggests deleting certain folders. I tried deleting both the ShaderCacheD3D11 and the CachedHLSLShaders folder but the problem persisted.

My system:
Windows 7
Ryzen 5 2600
Geforce GTX 750 Ti (driver version 26.21.14.3086)

following this.
