I can't believe this game still runs like garbage after all this time. (Get the new engine already)

Funny how easy it is to spot someone who has literally no clue how the game or coding works.

A new engine won't fix anything, it is almost certainly going to make things worse, literally no game will throw around as much as PoE dose because the other engines can't handle it so much so that they don't even attempt it for the most part, all of their "optimization" is to dumb down mechanics if not outright remove them.

So sure lets port it to a new engine, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars for a worse experience which will cause them to loose supporters.

You're doing something very wrong if a 3080 isn't keeping up, such as;

Mediocre cpu.

Still using an HDD, or a cheap or nearly full SSD.

Playing on a 4k monitor.

Are you up to date on windows drivers, gpu drivers, bios and firmware?

Are you thermal throttling?

Actually more funny is understanding that even Chris admitted it was a very amateur job with their engine building and net coding at the onset. They have to deal with the consequences of those early days, and have been doing so for years. It sucks but it's a self-inflicted wound. They didnt have the cash, so they did it themselves. Understandable but unfortunate given the situation today.

Generally speaking the OP isnt wrong. The engine isnt very good, and is limiting them in numerous ways. Has it been incrementally improved over the last 10 years? Yes. Will it hold them back in the face of next gen competition, and what they can do with PoE & PoE2 moving forward? Absolutely. It wont age well over the next 5 years imo.

Jonathan, the main dude programing this game said that the engine is modern and fast and is still being improved. They said there are "some things" to be repaired not that its dogshit like you try to imply.

No engine currently can handle PoE and thats a fact. Its being changed and improved every league. So yes, he is 100% wrong. Engine is the best you can currently get and thats a fact.

when I see post like a 2080 and up is over kill for this game I laugh so hard, while maybe sitting in your HO you may reach decent frames, but when you have 100 mob spawn this game is total trash

It's so cute when people without the faintest idea about programming, engines or development, tries to critique the engine. Especially when people just reply "lol". Heh, the lack of words alone just show that they have no fucking clue.

PoE absolutely has its problems, no one can deny that. But there's probably 0.0000001% of people in here with the knowledge to pinpoint why. They have no idea how this engine is built, how it runs compared to other engines and how much better a "commercial" engine would do.

I'll take criticism serious, if someone can explain why and how this engine is crap, and why and how another engine would do better.
