Give us the option to DISABLE texture streaming

ill take longer load times over ever seeing pow res textures that then pop in big res ones and invisible models that suddenly pop in, such a jaring thing to see.
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

Well, I have my guesses but I'll just leave it at that.

Now everything that pops up on the screen is either blurry ala Nintendo 64 style or shows as an ugly square first.

It seems like I'm playing an alpha test for a game or something like that. It's atrocious.

I don't mind having to wait for 3-5 more seconds in loading screen to avoid this BS.

GGG should have polished this before implementing.

Or at least give us the option to DISABLE the texture streaming.

I don't need it. I was running the game perfectly fine before that.

You'd think they'd have a CLA to preload it all during the loading screens, like how they already have a CLA that preloaded everything before Texture Streaming was a thing...

In any case it's baffling to release what seems to be a mostly liked League, new content etc. and then mar the experience with mandatory imperfect Texture Streaming.

It's not the first time they've done this either, they did the same when adding the more realistic lighting/shadow system a couple versions ago (Delve league iirc).

This has basically made me play the game far less. It's just annoying. The option to turn off this streaming crap should definitely exist.
It's just a game.
Texture streaming is great, it saved me from dropping fps on Sirus by having no textures load besides the last split second of his beam for the entire fight. Glad I am not deaf and I can listen where he is.

Complete removal of the game and reinstall didn't do anything, my game still runs great with textures not loading or taking up to 30secs to load. I get better fps and less stutter so I am told so its better gameplay /s.

I'm running on 40 fps with texture streaming with an RTX 2070 Super!
My CPU is an I7-9700K so there should be never problems after years..

GGG fix your engine!
+1 Please let us disable it we want to, it should take you 10 minutes to do GGG!

If they won't implement the option to disable texture streaming, i'll never play PATH OF EXILE again

Who wants to play with lags?

Are you kidding? That would destroy ggg/Tencent's business model.


POE exists for only one reason: to sell MTX. The "gaming" aspects of the game are literally a side-show.

If the virtual peacocks can't strut around in town with the latest absurdly-expensive fireworks display, why would they ever purchase any cosmetic MTX?

If anything that should be even more incentive for them to let people toggle it off. With the new texture streaming other players don't even render in before I've already got to the waypoint and left town xD
