FPS Spikes and freezes after 3.21.2 patch+ using only 1.7gb VRam of 6gb available

Hello everyone.
I load that patch 24/07/2023
and after that I got problems with FPS Spikes on my PC and my Laptop (2 different systems)
Before patch I felt rly good performance of both systems in 1980x1080, but how I said, after patch, any fps spikes and frezees everywhere.
And another one problem I have seen, how y can see on screens in game graphics it use only 1.7 gb Vram of 6gb available, screen in HO when I do NOTHING, and screen in process of farming (harbinger for example on screen). similar 1.7 gb used, but I have no stable FPS while process.
I know, that my systems aren't best option of gaming, but that was rly fine before patch, and I have no idea what to do, so comfortable playing NOT possible at moment.

if y get similar problems after patch, PLS give any feedback here

PC:
Intel i5 10400F 6 cores
RX570 8GB Vram
16 GB DDR4
SSD (don't remember speed of reading)
(here I am using Vulkan only, any dx not possible, cause no fps)

Laptop:
Ryzen 5700 8 cores
RTX 3060 6GB VRam
16 GB DDR4
SSD
(here I am using dx11/12)


at this screen, I stay in ho and we see 1.7 gb vram used


at this screen, I am while mapping and hitting habringers, vram 1.7, but fps spikes, why does it works like this??

no changes after last mini patch

Hey
I'm having the same problems after the patch. Before the patch I was running everything on max graphics, windowed mode, full juiced maps and now all I get is lag spikes on the lowest of settings. delirium fog and harbingers seems to amplify this problem.

my gear for comparison

Nvidia rtx 2070 8gb
i7-9700k @ 3.60ghz
16gb ddr4
1920x1080 144hz

It was bad with the stuttering / freezing before this last patch...now its worse.

after the cache clear the game made a few days ago, my game also became unplayable. I played on every graphic to low because potato pc, but the game would work fine because it would just drop the resolution so low as the screen becomes cluttered in for ex blight encounters.

i understood now that cache is cleared it needs to refill, so first day i played like that, but the problem persists. I didnt change any graphic setting yet my game is stuttering so bad it's unplayable, cant even complete any blight encounter.

Running a 3060 and having almost exact same issues. Shaders not loading when rerunning the exact same map. cloudy textures. Sometimes I randomly freeze

For the stuttering/FPS spikes, some people have had improvements by disabling engine multithreading in the options. I don't know why it helps, and it apparently makes the game run at lower FPS overall but it smooths out the stuttering. Not a long term solution, but it might help until GGG can figure out how to fix what they've broken.

Yeah for me the mini 450mb patch make my gamer a little better now, but the micro stutters, some freezes, and even new bugs can occur on my play sessions after testing for 5 hours the mini patch i can see some mini improvments but, the problems continued, it's not 100%, it's like some minor improvments like 25% better now, i'am not anymore crashing for example, but the micro stutters and glitches and other new bugs still happening on maps!

Forget all i sayd about the game is little better, because after i say this, i back to my play session and, the game give me again the freeze for 10seconds and crashed to title screen.... Sad. I think the mini patch 450mb or so, only solved the problem for some time for me, but all coming back again after some 5 or 6hrs of "playtest", i hope GGG can figure what wrong with this new engine that are very bad.

THe most scary part of this problems with new engine update, is, the game not only freeze the entire engine of the game but for some reason can freezy my entire pc too, before the engine upgrade patch 6GB everything that can happen with the game stay with the game and not affect my pc, now after the engine upgrade, everything thats happen with the game like stutters or freezes can affect my pc too, like i play POE and if the game freezes my entire pc freezes my youtube music stop playing too and freezes and etc can freeze togheder and like is synchronized with the game or looks like some crypto is running with this engine now, i know this is not, but i'ts looks like something very bad borked with this new engine!

I hope they can figure out what is wrong with the new engine and can patch up this broken mess, because my pc is suffering this time too.

so any news about it? is there actually a problem, did they acknowledge it and seeing to fix? the problems still persist
