Is there any short-term fix for the frame skips/lag in maps, especially after initiating delirium?

I keep restarting the game client, hoping that it was a memory leak and that works, but today the frame skips and lag has been unbearable. Is it really network lag? I don't think it has anything to do with my pc specs - my computer was $3500 when I bought it, all custom built with very good parts, and is only 1 year old. Besides, I did not experience this last season at all - it was smooth as butter at the highest settings.

The game is so risky and unplayable as an Elementalist with all of these frame skips. I come so close to dying when I don't even know what's going on, and it makes it very difficult to use my panic button during the frame skips. It feels like 1 frame per second, when usually it's 100 fps.

Is there anything I can do in the meantime to fix it though? Like turn off a graphics option or something? Should I just avoid running delirium altogether? that would be really unfortunate since, if the frame rate is good, I can get 4-6 bonuses depending on the map, but when the frame skips are happening, it's so unsafe I basically get 2 bonuses or I just stop it earlier out of fear of dying.

Please help.

Is it true frame skips, or is it desycning from the server? Cause I'm desyncing like crazy on the California server even when my hideout shows a smooth 30ms ping. Wasn't behaving like this in blight league, where I might ghost backwards once every other map. Here it's 50/50 when I use a travel ability that my ping shoots above 100ms and I end up back where I started. Also sometimes cyclone randomly cuts out even though on my end I see my character cycloning around a pack of enemies that should insta-die...

(sadly either way I have no help to offer you)

I don't know the real technical reason. I am experience frame skips, where moving around and attacking is incredibly choppy... but assuming the game has registered my movements or my other button presses, it appears to be in sync.

However, I also experience issues where I right-click to cast Arc and nothing happens... and then nothing happens... and I yell at the monitor, "What the fuck!" and then after 5 or 10 seconds, it starts working again.

Sometimes I stop moving, and then speed up really fast.

It's all sorts of issues I am dealing with really. And you're right - I don't experience them in my hideout. And once they happen, they basically don't stop happening. it just gets worse and compounds until everything is skipping constantly. Restarting the game client resets it... sort of... but never really solves it since it just keeps happening again.

Hit F1 and it'll show you your FPS (this is client side lag, you can only drop your settings to help with this), and the Server response in milliseconds (ms). That is likely what is spiking from what you are describing and you have 0 control over. It can be caused by the DDOS that GGG is dealing with, or some logic is putting too much strain on the server.

Using F1, in the hideout, I am at 139 fps. Latency is at 29-37.

I just beat Al-hezmin and everything seems fine right now. I hope it stays that way :( While I have some minor issues with the mechanic itself, the performance issues I'm experiencing definitely compound the on death effects as they are impossible to dodge or get away from when things are very choppy.

sadly i tried everything but looks like were at the mercy of GGG on this one.

check the manifesto they acknoledged they broke something making performances pretty bad for a portion of the players.

they say its a priority but theres no ETA.

i dont know if ill be waiting 1 week or 1 month or 1league or maybe even worse lol.

an ETA would soothe many minds.

*that's my luck... the one time everyone is homebound and league could thrive... performances are down the shitter.

The question really what portion ?

My 2080 super rarely goes above %40 memory useage playing PoE on max setting in 4k, however at good portion of this is at 4fps this league....

Influence maps ? 10 fps

Add in delrium 1-2 fps spikes.

How on earth are people with older computers fairing....

At this point in the lauch for it to be this unplayable is a fucking joke, look at Zizran's performance on a new top of the line MSI built machine.


Its actually fucked up they released this league like this, best bit is, they finished it early....


Also i dont recall influenced maps ever killing my FPS like they do atm, i keep trying to console myself that it will be fixed but the radio silence on performance is pretty funny.
