Desperately in need of some way to lower game settings even further!

Disabling particles, shadows, and bloom all massively boost performance based on what I've heard from people who have done that, and while it is supposedly incredibly easy with a tool that is just a google search away, it is also against the ToS. It's a shame that due to GGG's stubbornness on how the game MUST look for streamers, that people with eye or neurological problems worsened by bloom/excessive particles have to suffer unnecessarily, and also that anyone who doesn't like bright flashy lights or just wants better performance with less visuals can't do so without risking their account.

Well I have no intentions of trying to stream on my $100 laptop with 300kbps internet, so la de da!

This just in: Having the good options enabled has helped a lot.

Still not ideal, but much better.

Dynamic culling disabled, dynamic resolution disabled, yes & yes.

I'm even running this "Vulkan" stuff, which seems to help, but overall, everything is... well, as bad as I described already.

that makes me think you have all your settings wrong.

The game is pretty well optimized if you actually think about it, no other game will take on anywhere near as much as PoE dose because the would all fall far shorter than PoE, in fact almost every other game i've played including AAA ones "optimize" by reducing the players ability to do things or just straight up remove the thing that is causing the problem (actual straight up removing content never to return it)
Is it perfect? no and GGG know that and are working on it (or you would never have vulkan)
Is it all down to the game? hell no, you just proven that you are a little clueless as to what the settings do and there are many other things relating to your PC that you should do something about that would help alleviate the problem.

so you disabled the settings that will increase your fps???

im confused

I feel your pain, OP. I play on rural internet with a potato laptop, and I struggled for a long time with lags and freezes and crashes. Delve was like playing Russian roulette with extra bullets, and Shaper/Elder/Atziri were impossible with all the particles and effects going off on screen.

Then I found the solution.

Play a max block, Lacerate Gladiator. The skills and auras you use generate little to no visual effects, which speeds up gameplay. You'll still lag here and there (Delirium, Syndicate Interventions, etc.) but having 82% block chance and counterattacks means you'll be much more likely to live through whatever's trying to pummel you.

Is it a zoom-zoom meta build? Hell no. But if you cant run a map without lagging into deaths, my advice is to give it a try.

Also, have you tried logging into a European server? I seem to have a better experience overall using London or Amsterdam than a US server for some reason. This was a suggestion on the Tech forums; it could work for you as well.

Are there any third party addons or anything like that? My in-game settings are all the way at the bottom, and I think it's safe to say PUBG is more optimized than PoE at this point.



My laptop is crap, but it legit runs WoW better than it runs PoE. Is there anything I can do??? I've had enough of running into enemies and then locking up to 1 FPS until I die.

Hi . Algo , is it you?

out of curiosity what are the specs of the notebook?

do you have the latest drivers? may be free some procesor and ram by closing other programs running on the back
