Are they gonna fix all the lag and freezijng in scourge.

Never had a problem like that, i have an mid range PC, so I get about 60 fps at the lowest setting and 1080p. But this league makes me feel like I am playing a potato, even on lowest setting and lowest resolution, in scourge league, I am constantly lagging and freezing. Switched to normal, and lols no issues, stable 60 fps. And no my ISP is fucking fine.

Your PC is worse than mid tier if you get 60fps on lowest settings more like very very low end.
I don't freeze and lag in Scourge.

Yeah maybe, but the point is it doesn't lag at all on standard, but on scourge it just keeps on lagging even if there are not that many mobs, so clearly something crappy going on there with the league.

There is no point in asking. People on these forums will just berate you on not having a top of the line modern PC. "There is nothing wrong with the game, your computer is just crap."


It has NOTHING to do with how poorly PoE is optimized. Nor the fact that you cannot preload maps. So, once you swap into Scrouge, your PC had to load all the assets in then and there. Which is counter intuitive to a reaction base, 1 shot potential, game.


But, what do I know? I have a "potato pc" as well.



I think I dropped my salt shaker. . .

Yeah, noticed it too, small freezes here and there, wasn't this bad before Scourge.

The Rogue Harbour is a prime example, constant small freezes every second or so.

Freezes in scourges too.

Some heists have constant freezes, some are fine.

Some areas have freezes (The Vaal City in Act 7 for example) and some don't.

Something is clearly wrong with the code of the game, CPU spikes and freezes in nearly empty areas.

And btw I decided to try Lost Ark, never seen a single lag or freeze in a week on high settings.

Hell ya, I had to stop playing today after the 5th death due to lag in 2 maps. Every time I shifted I lagged in every monster pack. I was getting really pissed off because it was lagging when they started casting, So I couldn't even move out of the cast. Freeze and dead, freeze and dead, I logged, switched servers and it was even worse. I just said to myself I guess I'm not playing end game today.

us console peasants have to press L3 to use the scourge mechanic.

You know what else L3 does? shows all unfiltered ground loot.

So you have to find a spot where you didn't kill anything to avoid a crash.

Really sucks

I sometimes play on quite old pc (phenom 920, 8g ddr2, 660gt, sata ssd), having low fps (~25-30) there, but it's playable including scourge. The things i did there are completely turning the sound off, setting everything to low and turning off certain effects like reflections and water, plus playing in a window (about 90% screen size or so). Having about a half second long lag with the first transition to scourge, then it works more or less smooth.

We talk about different problem here. Our PCs are fine to play the game. The thing is when we encounter certain mobs, for example when entering scourge, the game starts to load assets from SSD, and this causes HUGE CPU spike and freezes the game for a fraction of second. Sometimes it's several freezes in a row.

And in certain locations with certain mobs there's a glitch that makes the game load assets from SSD every time you encounter those mobs or their corpses, so basically you experience micro-freezes all the time you play there.

For example Act 7 The Vaal City - there are packs for Vaal Arsonists (some skellies which use ranged fire attacks), so EVERY TIME you come close to them or their corpses there is huge CPU spike and short freeze of the game.

The fact the game refuses to load scourge enemies or effects until you hit the button to enter nightmare is a problem and does cause some spikes and invisible death beams. I doubt they are going to fix this though, other than by potentially removing scourge entirely next update.
