How do I enjoy maps with a party, without fps spikes? Was the 3.22 loading screen times fixed?

I don't know if last League had bad FPS performance? Was that fixed if so?
Seemed my map party fps was worst than usual for 3.22.

Either way I haven't made it to maps too often to test, yet have played since Expedition. Mostly studied the game.

I mostly only enjoy playing with parties. Not single player. Yet if I have to play single play just to not fps spike I may try some. So Acts with parties I have 80 to 120 fps which is excellent. Then when I got to maps trying to follow these parties who zoom fast with extra mobs and more aoe animations, I fps spike fps lag and die non stop.

So I quit 3.22 after reaching lvl 80.
BA didn't lag spike me with parties at all. Just maps.


SO my question is am I still able to enjoy some maps with parties? Is their some specific style of maps that I should focus on that drop less loot and have less mobs? That parties still play with?

Or am I doomed to only be able to party with zoomer parties with so much map screen clutter my fps spikes?

Should I focus on some specific farming method that has less loot to drop? That I'm still able to find a few people to party with easily? What should someone like me do? Who has high FPS for party acts and fps spikes for map parties?

Tho really 3.22 I had this thing happen where the loading screens everywhere, were taking 2 to 6 minutes longer than previous leagues as well, so I was thinking maybe 3.22 was just aweful in general for fps?? & not not just my town loading screens, all acts, all map loading screens took an extra 2 to 6 minutes to load. Was that fixed?

I wasn't the only person experiencing long loading screens. Thousands of people were. Tho most people who I partied with didn't have long loading screens, just forum people mentioned they did too. & most of them who did have long loading screens only had them for towns. I had them for everywhere, not just towns, Acts too. Made keeping up with the party for 3.22 Acts unbearable.

P.s. What are the maps that have extra loot that drops like a ocean of loot on the floor. & Zoomer parties title them " follow tho don't take any loot ".

So I know which type of maps to avoid. Since when highlight all the loot makes my pc game client crash.

Tho as far as fps spikes, It's not just the loot maps that make me spike, it's the the spells and monsters too.

a few leagues ago, ggg did something phenominal...
I had read a feedback suggestion by a guy "why are you rendering
everything when I use the loot filter! stop rendering stuff I dont hunt for!"

ggg was like.... oh wow. right right right. and they stopped rendering
items that dont pass your loot filter.

increasing the stringency of your loot filter will improve performance a bit.

also set up your dynamically lower resolution to improve fps option.
cutting down texture quality barely helps. I do it, but it barely helps.

if vulkan does not crash for you, give it a try. give the other rendering
options a try.
MTX, minions, and anything else that produces a lot of on screen effects affect latency. I remember in Blight many carry services specifying no minions.


Thanks I'll try the suggestions. For fps.

Still does anyone know if the Loading Screen delayed times issue was fixed?

Kinda odd of them to have hundreds of people mention longer loading screens for 3.22 and they say nothing.
