Missing skill textures / long loads

Hey guys,

I have over 2000 hours in this game and have never had any issues. I havent played in a few years however, and when coming back to this league, my load times have sky rocketed

Poe is being launched through steam, on a ssd. My load times are around 10-30 seconds. before they were basically instant. Also, when zoning into an area, my skills do not show their textures for roughtly the first 3 casts.

for instance, i will zone into a zone, cast vortex and i will hear the skill, it will do damage, however there wont be an animation. After 2-3 casts, it will show up and the rest of the zone is fine again.

also, when i zone into town, quest givers will have a blurred ! over their head and after 3 seconds or so it will catch up and show the correct ! again.

Any ideas?

still having same issue as well.. used to run perfect.

Got same problem.
Here's link for my post. But PoE support don't care about trying to help.

Just can't play like that.

Okay guys.
I was checking files and config file in documents and change something inside it.
Also switched to vulkan in game and turn on dynamic resolution.

Try this:

Go to documents > my games > Path of exile > open file " production_config"

Search "DISPLAY"

Edit options like here:

Screenspace_effects=1
Screenspace_effects_resolution=0
resolution_width=1272
