Gameplay is possible for me, but got worse.

Had 3 or 4 times problems even with the forum just yet. My browser tells me: fine on my side, fine in Amsterdam, but:

You're probably experiencing server maintenance or general overload (since we all are experiencing server overload). I'm drawing attention to the graphical part of the game.

With Delirium it is where the FPS drops to non existent... My RTX 2070 can't handle the Delirium fog for this league...

Wow, your case is very extreme! I hope they fix their new system OR rollback to the previous one in Heist which was decent (I guess I played it enough on a mobile 1650 to say so).

Noticed the very same thing. Plus enter a map or new zone use a skill and no effects at all but monsters die lol. After few seconds it loads everything and all is good but damn it is annoying.

MY GPU wanna die everytime i start a Ritual

I played for the past two weeks before 3.13 and I had absolutely no lag og lagspikes no matter what event or mechanic I tried in the game

After 3.13 whenever I start a delirium event and every time some delirium mobs spawns during the event I get huge fps drops down to 1-5 fps while I usually have 120+ fps

I use a GTX 2060

I hope the staff will look into these issues and get it sorted out soon

With that said, I want to thank the GGG for an awesome patch, regardless of the issues here :)

Same thing! I don't know how Heist was so smooth, even having lots of monsters behind doors and having them do all sorts of attacks and all that, then Ritual comes and it's a slideshow for some content.

Yep definitely a slideshow sometimes.. unfortunately

Just out of curiousity, is this thread posted in the right forum group? Or should it be posted in the help section or the technincal problems group

I play on a low end notebook, i5-7200u, 8gb ram. In the metamorph league i could play near everything with mininal quality, i only experienced fps drops on betrayal encounters and at the start of the legion monolith.

On delirium league, i couldnt play it at the league start, massive fps drops, after some patches it became something laggy at the start of the encounter, like my experience with the betrayal and legion encounter.

Then after each league update the game become more unplayble than the league before. I tried to keep playing lowering resolution , limited the fps cap below 30fps,and put the mininum at target fps and it was barely playabe. But now at ritual, i got high load times on city hubs and maps, leading to disconections, wasting time and portals,random fps drops on maps, every content encounter causes massive fps drops.
Tried opening a legion monolith and my game exploded.

I cant understant why i could play the game on metamorph league, and now the game is unplayable.

You can eventually bypass rendering issues by obtaining a monster PC (but it's uncertain).

Currently game is literally unplayable for some, I personally gave up and been waiting for eventual optimization/improvements.
For me blurring occurs even on the loading screen, ingame it's about painful rendering which takes forever and severe lag while playing.

I'm sporting a Ryzen 5900X overclocked and super-tuned memory with extremely low RAM latencies.
Also using RTX 3080, yet with default graphic options the game stutters horribly and FPS drops from ~200 to 30-40 range quite often.

Absolutely horrendous game optimization. Vulkan helps a little bit, but extreme stuttering during gameplay remains.

Thanks for your concern. I like this being "Ritual Feedback" because we've been exposed to this issue as a cause of some feature update, not because of actual technical issues. I think both are valid though.

They definitely need to rethink their rendering strategy, since it doesn't seem to be helping high-end nor low-end computers
