Let people disable shadows.

Every new patch makes POE run worse instead of better. Increasing the requirements with no visual fidelity gain.
My gpu stays at 99% all the time on dx12/vulkan. This sounds good right? It isn't as this game shouldn't require this much power and I run everything at low settings. It's like the GPU load is used for crypto mining same as Bless.
I say this because have a gtx1050ti that clocks to 1800mhz and stays at 99%. This is why it amazes me why so high load on low settings on 1080p.

Texture streaming is a joke performance wise. The game ran better even when it didn't have it. People disable sound to fix fps which is even funnier than disabling shadows.

Arriving in towns when there are people with tons of visual effects on them nukes the fps. So why not invent a slider for visual effects?

So with all this babbling I am suggesting for the devs to wake up and focus on the real performance fixes. And to let people chose what to disable to make their game run better in the meantime. This is a game where a stutter means death... And people will leave.

:D

Good luck with that.

Oh believe me, players have asked.

But once GGG is stubborn it's GG G.

You can't reason with them even though a lot of sh*t effects on screen like shadows and mtx are completely useless, at least to me. When the question comes between performance and somebody (200 players) shining like an Xmas tree in town or wherever... well.
