I have 100% CPU usage while loading screens. Have a good pc, so it is the game problem. This even caused full system to lag out 2-3 times. In general cpu works at 50% and fps is 180. Only loading screens have the problem. Worried for my CPU not to burn..
Same! I have exactly the same problem. I'm worried aswell for my hardware because it start happend more and more at one point. Sadly there are no solutions by now. Hope they will bring a performance patch soon. I have a Ryzen 5 5600.
I'm pretty sure he game does shader pre compilation the first time you lost into any zone which is the reason the first load screen for each region is really long and puts your CPU at 100%. After the first load it's not an issue. Shader pre compilation is very CPU heavy and this process is way worse for my friend with an older CPU than it is for me so your mileage may vary.
@@ogjeff7183 I have ryzen 7 7700. I guess this is AMD problem, but in other games it works perfectly fine. Hope GGG can fix this. On forums many players have this issue.
That's a good thing that game utilises 100% of your cpu during loading screens. It uses full cpu power to speed up decompression, map generation logic and/or some shader shader compilation.
@@xXGejSzAXx but it is not good when some systems freeze because of that. I play a lot of different Games since 12years + and something like this never happend.
Agreed, I started getting stutters and sort of like rubberbandy kinda lag since 24 hours:ish ago.. not alot but it gets worse if I choose delirium or cleanse a favour thingy. Most likely something with the patches theyve been rolling out. Ive had absolutely no performance issues for atleast 2 days prior to this so it is def something else. Unsocketed a few abilities now though.. just incase but I doubt this is it. Did this truly fix it for anyone else?
I've played through on Ranger and had 0 issues, switched over to Sorc and have been seeing a similar issue on that class.... I thought it might be a pc issue or something also, I'll have to look into this more now.
my pc meets the recommended specs and regularly dips below 60 fps at native 1080p and the lowest settings, its stupid that my gpu usage spikes to 99% and fps dips below 50 without using dynamic resolution only for the game to go below 720p. not only should upscaling never be needed for recommended specs, but its disingenuous to not even mention its needed. they really need to optimize this game A LOT before 1.0 because anyone with the recommended pc specs will not get native 1080p 60 at endgame
I'm playing a witchunter grenadier merc and lag like crazy in maps, sometimes dropping to like 30-40 fps from 100+. I switched to Vulkan from DX12 and started using FSR on quality with 80% sharpness and it's a little smoother now but there's just so many interactions happening and massive explosions on screen that it's bound to lag a bit. Not sure if GGG plans on optimising the game around endgame builds much more but I hope they do if they even can. Also wanted to mention I didn't really lag at all and stayed at above 80+ fps all the time in campaign, as explosive grenade got bigger and got +proj from skill tree and weapon towards endgame the fps just got worse and worse. Another thing I noticed was that loading into maps my CPU usage is at 100%, but while playing and even with my screen full of explosions CPU usage stays at around 60% and never goes above, however my GPU usage goes from 60% while just running around, to maxed out 100% with explosions and fire burning on screen and I start lagging. I think it's just overload on GPU with these specific skills and support gems even with lowest settings and fsr on, hopefully they can optimise the game a bit more before actual launch. Also AMD has yet to release an official driver for this game, unlike nvidia/geforce so hopefully next AMD driver release will improve performance.
Nah it doesn't really matter what you're doing with your settings, it's entirely on GGG and old PoE engine they used for PoE 2. All the talking about how it'll be optimized better because it's a new game and everything is built from ground up just for the game to perform the same or worse than PoE :D Honestly i don't even think they will improve the performance much for 1.0, cause it's like trying to fix a 30 years old car by replacing single parts in the engine, but the engine is already so old that it doesn't matter cause there will always be something else that causes problems, and the only solution would be a swap for a new one. Which of course won't happen. When you turn on the fps counter and observe it, notice how the fps immediately drop the more skills you use :D I am also playing a Grenade Merc and i'm already afraid of endgame when i start throwing 10 grenades at once, i will probably drop from 150 fps to 50 and either reroll another class or quit until fixed, cause nothing pisses me off more than unoptimized games. One of the only things D4 does better than PoE 2 is optimization, cause they've improved it to the point where i can comfortably play at like 200+ on ultra, meanwhile PoE 2 i get ~150 that often dips below 100 causing stutters. As for AMD i have a full AMD system (unfortunately), and while i agree that AMD users often gets the sort end of the stick, i see people playing on intels and 4090s and they all have the same issues with fps drops and stuttering, which just proves that it's entirely on the game engine, not pc specs, unlike in some other titles.
I have the same problem as a Gemling Grenadier. I have everything maxed and 4k ultrawide and the game runs smooth 140 fps. As soon as I start dropping dozens os grenade explosions at the same time my FPS drops to 50 for a second during the explosions.
@@DoctorStrange01 Really disappointing. Could never get far in to maps on poe1 because of exactly this. Massive fps drops as soon as there's too much happening. I only just meet the minimum reqs but seeing all these people with high end rigs having the same issue makes me think it's not my pc
@tambulee not sure about the Pro, id imagine maybe it's a bit better than in the standard PS5. The performance on the standard is bad, very bad. Especially if you are playing a Sorc with many spell effects, or Witch with minions. The frame rate is at a fucking crawl.
@@mcarr416ix did you turn off global illumination And try down scaling the render resolution? This helped my series x tremendously went from 70 fps to 115
As a monk, I played the game for like 10 hours on max with my 980 TI WHILE having RUclips running on a second monitor and it was silky smooth, now I'm getting FPS drops constantly, I did a bunch of things to fix such as clearing the Nvidia Cache and so on but nothing seems to fix the FPS drops. The metrics say the CPU load is at max, using multithreading, it jumps all over the place and it seems to be using one core 100% while the rest are not. Disabling multithreading lowers overall FPS but keeps it stable. I cannot understand how it could run so well in the first 10 hours and now its so bad.
@@fester7798 I found a setting that works for me. Essentially, I open the game, deactivate multithreading, turn off dynamic culling, leave on directX12, Low shadows, Low sun, Medium Lights, Low water, lighting - Shadows, 8x Anisotropic, and medium textures, lower Sharpness to 0% and leave Adaptive Vsync on. once all of that is set I close the game. I open the browser with Twitch or YT on a video on my other monitor, then I start the game again, once open I re-enable multithreading and I get constant 60 fps most of the time, some areas like the jungle on act 1 still drop the fps for some reason but other than that it works. I don't know how it works but I think by opening another demanding task on my other monitor the processor switches and the game is processed by a different set of cores or something like that.
@@peggeMEGA I did had a windows update to be performed, but after doing it, it remained the same. I even ran the cmd prompt to scan and update all programs and drivers. That didn't made a difference for me either. But i found a way now so I'm happy.
Luckily I haven't picked up that node yet but the gemling ascendacy "adaptive capability" is also bugged. I'm unable to upgrade gems with a stat requirement less than what I actually have. For any 2 link skills, i can just create a new one and it does that no problem but for the few 3 links i have, it's forcing me to spend gold to temp increase my dex via skill points which seems like it is unintended and is definitely unintuitive if it is working as intended
i've been having lag spikes too but i swapped to vulkan from dx12 and that fixed some other stuttering for me. I've been occasionally getting full on computer lockup when loading from one zone to the next which is by far the most annoying thing I've ever encountered.
My game was stuttering and crashing nonstop until some dude in general chat said he turned off dynamic resolution and it fixed his issues. Since I disabled that the game not only runs noticeably smoother but I don’t crash anymore. Not sure if it will work for other but it most certainly fixed my issues.
have the same problem, but have tried swap all gems and change graphic settings. I dont even have my third ascendary points. nothing work for me. the first days I have no problems. pls help any1
That's hilarious. I've currently got a similar bug where my character stutters every time I strafe with wasd while shooting lightning arrow. I haven't tested out the ascendencies but that might fix it. I definitely remember that in the campaign I never had this issue so I think it might be one of the nodes causing it too.
When you buy enough extra stashes from the store that is goes farther than can be displayed you start having that sidebar. Buy more stashes and it will appear.
There also seems to be an issue for the Ice Walls that Glacial Bolt creates. It was causing me FPS drops and my friend said that anytime he plays with anyone using Glacial Bolt walls it lags TF out of his game
i dont have that particular nod in ascendancy yet but it was happening to me this morning. i think it has something to do with all green support gems. i only have 2 support slots and im using the same build just still early on compared to you and i was getting the same issue. but i did decide to swap gems and unintentionally out of mere coincidence, it fixed it
I was in your stream saying it was not a graphics issue and probably a game logic issue and it looks like I was right. The other thing is that if it's bugged game logic, it's probably effecting the server just as badly as your client.
could that maybe explain why some people get stuck on extremely long loading screens? Most people are playing merc because it's very strong so if this bug affects the servers it could be a big issue for the game as a whole.
@@discofabio5009 Well every single streamer/youtuber was saying they wanted to play merc and ppl in the comments as well + every poll showed merc at the top. The reason was because the crossbow shoots instantly and grenades was insane for fast boss clears. Maybe it's not the case right now, but before EA launch that was the favorite pick by far.
had the exact same issue last night so quit and went to bed , now today it's gone so i think it was a server issue that was fixed. just happens it fixed during your testing.
i have a bizarre pulsing stutter consistently, but i'm still in act 1 with a new character. I got to act 3 on another character without any problems... but now when i return to my act 3 character, the stutter persists.
That is the weirdest bug I've ever seen, I have some issues with the game lagging/stuttering when opening the world map (seems to be dynamic load based on your progression and not a static map) and also got some very long loading screens, but nothing like in this video, atleast on the ranger.
My frames drop to 30 once all the grenades explode with all the enemies. I am kinda getting worried that if I make it all the way to maps that it will be unplayable frames
Actually I had a similar fps drops when I was putting support gems on my ability gems. Some support gem made me lose crazy amount of fps and first I thought it's about some zone but when I meddled more with the gems the fps drops went away, didn't figure out yet what caused it but after seeing this gotta look again and test. Edit: This happened to me before even ascending into Witchhunter or Gremling Legionnaire.
K, so I'm having similar mercenary issues on Xbox series x wit frame rate and worse, Sometimes I can't even attack.. Merc seems very buggy with moving, dodging, reloading and attacking compared to the other classes
I've had some visual glitches when i play merc, with all those types of bomb it's just brokes the game and it's best to restart the game if you see them.
Also get a similar fps drop when fighting packs and I didn't take that ascendancy. So far about 2 hours of troubleshooting and nothing works. haven't played another character but the fps tanks most when igniting everything
I'm having these issues running witch hunter and I'm not running half the gems you are. They just need to address many performance issues with this class overall
Huh! I just experienced huge lag with my merc this evening only in a couple areas of Act 3 (venom cave) 9800x3d and a 7900xtx… I could barely move through that area and needed to detune all my settings till i finished it… never experienced this in act 1 or 2 which always seemed pegged around 120 fps @ 4k.
I don't think it's just merc. I've experienced this on sorc and witch lower level too. It's much more pronounced on merc though even prior to ascendancy. There's definitely some cursed calcs going on somewhere lmao
i have not stable 30-120 fps on minimum settings (in fights its all time ~30-40 fps if without dynamic resolution) ryzen 5600 rx6600 . btw command /clear can help with stutters,but until the cache gets clogged again, the developers have done something wrong with it.I play on flamewallsrsmancer
I also have stuttering but its a Latency issue. My ping just goes up to 500 randomly. But it only happens in POE, happend in the first game and now too. I guess Frankfurt Server is shitty or something similar.
Because these support gems or some nodes on the tree have nothing to do with performance problems in this game, it's just the unoptimized engine, cause it's the old PoE engine, just updated for PoE 2 :D The problem is they were talking about PoE 2 running better than PoE because it's a new game so they could optimize it better from the beginning, and here we are again with the same thing that's been happening in PoE and apparently was impossible to fix for a decade :D
Brother it's just some weird interaction but it absolutely doesn't change the fact that the game runs like trash (i.e. like PoE 1) even without that node 😂 I started dropping fps as soon as i specced into grenades with scattershot. It's just the crappy PoE proprietary engine that PoE 2 also runs on. I didn't believe they would optimize it because of how poorly PoE runs and of course it doesn't. Curious how much they will improve the performance for release, cause what is the point of making a whole new Path of Exile game and saying that it will run better and will be better optimized if the reality is the opposite :D
I can see how that would be annoying to deal with good for you figuring out a work around. I haven't had that issue yet but i am only 35 just got into act 3. I tend to lag a lil bit when in a town with other ppl, but otherwise seems fine. I have a baby computer, 16gigs ram 8 core CpU and a baby GTX 1660 super and game runs smoothly, mostly.
my game is lagging but not because of gemling I'm on witchhunter playing grenades as well and my GPU is only at 15% while CPU is like 50% not even utilizing both of them
Merc here, having same issues also. No ascendency yet. Noticed it started recently. Will try to find out which skill combo I used that started triggering this.
This can still have something to do with your hardware. I have zero issues with those gems on a Ryzen 5800X. Not sure what CPU you have, but if it is not substantially slower than mine, you might have issues with overheating, and the extra gems just broke the camel back. Also from the FPS on this video, something is not right even without those gems. You are dropping frames under 60, with no action whatsoever. My old 6 core PC doesnt do this.
I took a day off from playing yesterday and started the game today, now i even drop into the 50s.. which never happened before since launch day. im running a 3900x and a 6800xt with 32gb ram. i wouldve thought maybe its my cpu but then i couldnt explain how i havent had any drops since launch at all and was always at a constant 100+ fps. still havent found any answer. i updated my gpu drivers restarted my pc checked if my xmp profile turned off nothing im so confused. my temps are also perfectly reasonable at 60-65 degrees
Reminder to everyone that this is early access. If these kinds of things make you feel things like annoyance / frustration / etc EA is probably not for you.

Also get a similar fps drop when fighting packs and I didn't take that ascendancy. So far about 2 hours of troubleshooting and nothing works. haven't played another character but the fps tanks most when igniting everything
This freezes started for me today also.. there is something wrong with the game
I've had the same starting happening to me today
I do have a similar problem with my witch, this might the solution to it. o7
I'm having these issues running witch hunter and I'm not running half the gems you are. They just need to address many performance issues with this class overall
Huh! I just experienced huge lag with my merc this evening only in a couple areas of Act 3 (venom cave) 9800x3d and a 7900xtx… I could barely move through that area and needed to detune all my settings till i finished it… never experienced this in act 1 or 2 which always seemed pegged around 120 fps @ 4k.
my pc was about to explode and i had to shut the game down immediately
Damn i had same sytuation at my bloodmage now i cnow why. Thank you
problem is that poe2 relay on poe1 which is ultra bugged. poe1 in general is student work of Rogers with a plenty of bad c++ code laying around ....
i dont think its just that node. i have the same issue and im witchhunter
very odd bug there. glad i haven't gotten anywhere near getting ascendancy yet lol.
I don't think it's just merc. I've experienced this on sorc and witch lower level too. It's much more pronounced on merc though even prior to ascendancy. There's definitely some cursed calcs going on somewhere lmao
What's cursed is the old PoE engine that fries your PC in endgame and is completely unoptimized, lol. Unsurprisingly.
@@DoctorStrange01 It's all pretty cursed tbh but, yeah I'd agree old PoE is def more cursed at end game lol
i have not stable 30-120 fps on minimum settings (in fights its all time ~30-40 fps if without dynamic resolution) ryzen 5600 rx6600 . btw command /clear can help with stutters,but until the cache gets clogged again, the developers have done something wrong with it.I play on flamewallsrsmancer
Thanks for this PSA, Wudi.
I have a 4700 and still get these legs sometimes the game needs more polish
I also have stuttering but its a Latency issue. My ping just goes up to 500 randomly. But it only happens in POE, happend in the first game and now too. I guess Frankfurt Server is shitty or something similar.
Got the same problems playing SrS witch for days now.. almost had the breakpoint of uninstalling the game..
Because these support gems or some nodes on the tree have nothing to do with performance problems in this game, it's just the unoptimized engine, cause it's the old PoE engine, just updated for PoE 2 :D The problem is they were talking about PoE 2 running better than PoE because it's a new game so they could optimize it better from the beginning, and here we are again with the same thing that's been happening in PoE and apparently was impossible to fix for a decade :D
My CPU is rarely over 20% usage while playing on all maxed graphics 1440p HDR
When the build is so powerful and it breaks the game literally. 😅
this guy is an actual qa tester for the game lol
Brother it's just some weird interaction but it absolutely doesn't change the fact that the game runs like trash (i.e. like PoE 1) even without that node 😂 I started dropping fps as soon as i specced into grenades with scattershot. It's just the crappy PoE proprietary engine that PoE 2 also runs on. I didn't believe they would optimize it because of how poorly PoE runs and of course it doesn't. Curious how much they will improve the performance for release, cause what is the point of making a whole new Path of Exile game and saying that it will run better and will be better optimized if the reality is the opposite :D
Ok pc masterrace welcome to the world of poe2 in groups on console 😂😂😂
Make sure you report this bug
happen to me in chaos trails as well
have a 5k pc and even wihtout the note im dropping from 300fps to 20 fps
I can see how that would be annoying to deal with good for you figuring out a work around. I haven't had that issue yet but i am only 35 just got into act 3. I tend to lag a lil bit when in a town with other ppl, but otherwise seems fine. I have a baby computer, 16gigs ram 8 core CpU and a baby GTX 1660 super and game runs smoothly, mostly.
I have same issue with sorcerer!!!
the game running so bad , many bug need to- fix it
i had this bug without that node
you just saved my life
That's some nice debug in action!
Would be better if there's a comparison with the ascension talent removed though.
Don't forget to UNDERVOLT those Intel 13th & 14th gen CPUs! Update your BIOS boys n grrls! i7-13700k 64gb (16x4 ddr5 6000-7200), 4080 S, 4tb nvme m.2 ssd, win 11 (ew!)
thanks i had the same, i thought its the servers!
my game is lagging but not because of gemling I'm on witchhunter playing grenades as well and my GPU is only at 15% while CPU is like 50% not even utilizing both of them
It's because you do too much dmg, obviously
wudijo has been hit with the 2nd nerf lol.
NO, GAME HAS ISSUES EVEN WITHOUT SPECING INTO ASSCEND.
Merc here, having same issues also. No ascendency yet. Noticed it started recently. Will try to find out which skill combo I used that started triggering this.
thanks
so less mana 😭
4shot zero mana ....
i asked refund....the game consumes too much CPU/GPU. Something is wrong...the game didnt catch my attention....very boring. Refunded.
Looks normal for me
You were just doing so much damage and causing so much havoc that your character was getting ready to break the game. Chill out bro. 😂😂😂
This can still have something to do with your hardware.
I have zero issues with those gems on a Ryzen 5800X.
Not sure what CPU you have, but if it is not substantially slower than mine, you might have issues with overheating, and the extra gems just broke the camel back.
Also from the FPS on this video, something is not right even without those gems. You are dropping frames under 60, with no action whatsoever.
My old 6 core PC doesnt do this.
I took a day off from playing yesterday and started the game today, now i even drop into the 50s.. which never happened before since launch day. im running a 3900x and a 6800xt with 32gb ram. i wouldve thought maybe its my cpu but then i couldnt explain how i havent had any drops since launch at all and was always at a constant 100+ fps. still havent found any answer. i updated my gpu drivers restarted my pc checked if my xmp profile turned off nothing im so confused. my temps are also perfectly reasonable at 60-65 degrees
Reminder to everyone that this is early access. If these kinds of things make you feel things like annoyance / frustration / etc EA is probably not for you.
Its worst on console
60 fps in hideout still bad plz don’t say your monitor doesn’t support higher
POE 2 BAD
This game sucks
I had that on my Sorc last night.. @Wudijo
