Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - An option to pre-generate shader cache - Forum

Is it possible to have this option for less powerful PC? It is lagging so bad when it generate cache on the go. Thanks.

I hope they can work something out for lower end machines like ours. PoE is the only game I play atm that struggles this much, even on low settings / predictive / --waitforpreload Feel like I've taken all performance measures I can other than the potato mode I've seen.

Same here, tried everything. Even the loading is sluggish now on 3.16	Posted by JackalR#4228 on Oct 24, 2021, 5:14:18 AM Quote this Post

Hey, I switched to Vulkan and it is way better now back to 3.15 level of performance. However the CPU and GPU run hotter as Vsync is not supported. Try another renderer to see if the performance is getting better.	Posted by JackalR#4228 on Oct 24, 2021, 6:34:18 AM Quote this Post

Try another renderer to see if the performance is getting better. Vsync should be working in Vulkan mode. The hardware may be running hotter because it is able to be more effectively fed work to do. You can also try ensuring the multi-threading option is enabled at the bottom of the graphics options.

Maybe try forcing vsync via the display drivers in addition to in-game?

Any hint on where's physically that cache folder can be located? I seldom play on that ye olde pc i use for work, and during loading it does make that specific HDD noise while having two SSDs (poe is on one of them of course); can't find it in either options or the ini file.
