POE2 and GPU weirdness

Don't know if anyone's experiencing these things.

1. Screenshots capturing loading screen instead of actual gameplay screen

There's been several times when I used the ingame screenshot key to take a screenshot of an item (for example to compare Vaal Orb before-and-after), then go open the new screenshot to see POE2's loading screen instead.

  • multiple occurrances
  • tried binding screenshot key to Home key instead and problem persists so I'm not triggering other background software
  • intermittent, can't reliably reproduce


2. Alt-Tab tempory freeze

If I alt-tab away from the game (game is in windowed fullscreen) to a windowed application, for example Google Chrome or Notepad, then alt-tab back to the game or use the mouse to click on the part of POE2 client still visible on the desktop, very often this would lead to POE2 client freezing (only the display, the sounds still play normally and I can hear myself open/close the menu etc., the screen just doesn't update at all).

When this happens, I could wait for a couple of solid seconds and it would recover, or I could alt-tab out again and click back again and it would immediately recover.

3. Google Chrome display broken temporarily

If I have POE2 and Google Chrome both running at the same time, then bring Chrome to the foreground and browse normally using my mouse scroll wheel to scroll web page (e.g. YouTube or Reddit), the page rendering would intermittently break and only a part of the page would be scrolling.

The part that scrolls seems unrelated to what is being displayed in Chrome.

Each time this happens, it would persist for a couple of seconds then fix itself.

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing these problems.

Hi. I have the exact same issues, didn't try taking screenshots tho. Rendering issue is pretty annoying, it also happens when I'm watching my friend's Screen share in Discord.
