HOW TO: Increase FPS/Lag Less

PoE has very few textures that i'd consider to be high detail.


This. It's not some staggeringly amazing work of art graphically. Game looks ok zoomed out from afar but as soon as you zoom in the ugliness in a lot of the textures quickly shows. You can actually drop down to Medium and the difference isn't that great.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on Path of Exile in the slightest, I just don't consider it to be some highly advanced graphical masterpiece. Regardless of its genre.

Keep in mind that doing this will make the game look absolutely awful.
Step 1: Find "production_Config.ini". It should be in your C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile folder, otherwise just search for it.
Step 2: Open the INI and look for "texture_quality=1"
Step 3: Change the number to your desired texture quality.
1=high
2=medium
3=low
4=very low
Restart your game and enjoy your terrible looking lag-free experience.

WARNING; GRAPHICS WILL LOOK SOMEWHAT LIKE RUNESCAPE

Runescape.....hahaha I lawl'd lmao.
I have another one. I played on a Intel dual core 2.4ghz and for me to have stablezied ping required....

1. everything turn off.
2. And number 2, the most imporant that people forget, is resolution. Higher effects offers so much detail that running window ( and resizing as small as you need it to go .. ) is one of the last attempts to run the game.

This way you can still have normal particle effects but just a smaller screen. Playing in a 6 man group with auras + zombies still maybe tough with my steps, but it's diffidently doable.

again, turn EVERYTHING to off, or the lowest possible settings, then run window mode and resize it until you stop lagging.

nice find,

to the mod that is just waiting to remove my comment:

I am commenting to save this to my recents! do NOT remove this post


Why would a mod remove your comment?

Unless you intentionally ignore the forum rules, then nothing will be removed.


Because AintCare is a troll who never contributes anything to the forum other than troll posts. Have a look at his post history.

thank you dude!
I am a warrior. I was born to fight and death is my brother. I do not fear him. I see him in the eyes of the men and beasts that I kill. I feel him traveling beside me to this new land, this Wraeclast. He will take me to meet the ancestors when I am ready, and I am not ready.
I'm glad finally runescape players can enjoy this game
Increased fps in city, in party still <5 fps.
I love how the devs/developers of this game never even told us about this, pretty pathetic.

Probably because it really screws the graphics and makes very little difference in group play.

I ran this for a while and the poor graphics was not worth the hardly noticeable increase in FPS. In fact I didn't notice any increase in FPS in full group play.

thanks alot OP! i dont see how its pathetic tho lol seeing how it looks :P thats an option you should have to look for imo, theyll make an official low quality at some point im sure. Just take a look at LoL, they optimized it over the time and even on lowest quality it looks decent and can run on almost anything.
