This is incredible. Unbelievable. I am SO HAPPY

I think I FUCKING FIXED IT!

I am not going to post what I did until I am 100% sure this is actually what fixed it (so people do not have to install unnecessary software)

Yes, 30 FPS is GODLY for me while in this kind of combat. Not to mention it is STEADY instead of spiking up and down nonstop making it unplayable.

If anyone ever asks you what the worlds happiest POOPHAMMER looks like just show them these screens.

Sceptre of god boss room. Used to be like 10 FPS. constant 60.

Spoiler

Shrines. Shrines in the sceptre boss room, especially with these mob types (lightning trap, arctic breath), all going off at once. I used to have 5 FPS during this, game used to just lock up completely at some points. Not anymore.

Spoiler

I will update with more info as I discover it and find way to squeeze more precious frames out of this game.

(forgive me for the way I worded this. I was pretty drunk at the time and fed up with the lag, but really this needs serious fixing of some sorts)

This game runs like absolute horseshit on most ATi chipsets (My PC runs POE at a max of 15 FPS, runs Watch_Dogs, a game released about a week ago silky smooth, at max settings, as well as other games)

Seriously google it. You will see people with ATi card bitching about awful frames in this game.

Recently they offered nvidia cards as a prize.

I have often thought about switching to nvidia cards just because this it the only game I enjoy and it seems to only run well on nvidia cards. Is this the point? I can not afford to make such a switch. I would much rather just buy a new game, would be a lot cheaper.

Ultimately I just want to know the truth behind all of this. Will I ever be able to enjoy POE on a PC that is more than capable of running every game except POE without changing brands?

I have a AMD card. PoE runs good.

Good for you. Me, and most of my friends that run POE drop to about 10 FPS or lower when in a party of more than 1 person. We play games together, while we do not share the same chipset we share the same brand, ATi.

Look it up on Google. It is a real thing. This game needs to be optimized badly.

I have an AMD card, most of the time it runs flawless, it also run other games under higest quality settings without any frame rate drops.

BUT god, when it decides to trigger blue screen of death or decides to divide right side of my screen and move it to the leftmost part. Yes that's the time I recognize that the fault is mainly AMD's shitty drivers and not PoE because I experience the same shit happen in most of the games I play.

So what do we say? Fuck AMD and make a wise decision and buy nvidia next time.

Wut? I have not had a BSOD since I was in high school (10+ years ago)

Sounds like there is something seriously wrong with your hardware that you need checked out

Everyone knows that this is the only way to compete nowadays, as teh actual quality is very much homogenous between these two developers, so I wouldn't be surprised, and will not even thinks less of them for it, even though I use amd/ati too and experience problems in poe.

It was just yesterday that I´ve read about the nvidia practices against AMD. Yes, my first thought was "and PoE is on the same train".

Unfortunately I will probably get a new card end of the year and to say the truth I would prefer an AMD ( as I have already) . And if it is only because I don´t like these business practices of Nvidia. Sad that GGG is doing business with them.

Just follow my lead and buy a new game. There is this game where you can reap souls. It runs perfect on ATi cards.

PoE doesn't run well on my Nvidia card in zones with the atmospheric weather effects, either. The engine is just not well optimized, sadly.

Interesting. Maybe GGG will fix this literally gamebreaking issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rav9ijyyZk
