@ i have 2 pc's and share what i found out works for them. tbh i also use Lossless Scaling 3 framegen 40fps to 80/120 for the 5600 rig, due to the games ridiculous CPU stalls. 5800x3d doesnt "need" it, but its still smoother with LSFG 3 at 60-75 fps base
Rtx 3090 - Ryzen 5950x - 128 gb ram. 2k gameplay In breach maps drops to 30 fps, it's not normal, I'm 99% sure it's because of the mobs' explosions when they die, they should remove this effect or add an option to disable it if we want.
Everything worked more or less great, but about 3 days ago I've started encountering pixelation, FPS drops and stuttering in intense battle. From 120+ in solo instance to 20 FPS in battle.
For Stormweaver or classes that "shoot a lot" like mercenary, ecc. I recommend setting "number of light low" so they will not render with ur skills and potentially loose FPS
Saw that people with some good pc specs have same issues. My ryzen 5 2600 and gtx 1650 still didn't explode somehow so i guess im good. 2 fps yeah, but my house isn't burning... at least for now..
There is 0 fixes here lol GGG needs to fix their game and possibly microsoft get their crap together everything else you mentioned is basic stuff most people already do on their pc that have million youtube videos on "how to optimize pc".
And yet, someone might not have tried these and it will help them the same way it helped me ☺️ even if it helps just one person, it was worth spending my time on putting it together 💪🏻 But of course, GGG has to optimise their game, period.
So frustrated to play a game with 2010 graphics on decent PC of 2021, and have a max possible FPS of 100, and 30-60 during action, also having at all times 80-100% load on CPU while just chilling in hideout. I've never experienced it in my life, and how it even possible by devs to load the game that hard? Also putting the recommended/minimum requirements as a joke, like nobody of them even tried to stress test on the hardware they claim game will be running. I like this game so much but the organization by devs and way they released this game just killed it even before release
Also, in my case it was too horrible because my CPU cooler were under performing, got new one and its much better, about +10-15FPS from what i described above) Which is still crap 🥲
I really had high hopes for PoE2 since they claimed they will focus performance aswell on lower end machines, im running a Gaming Laptop (Had to sell old pc due to getting a kid etc) with a 3060 Laptop GPU (6GB Vram) and a i9-11900H and yes, the hardware is nowhere near good for nowadays but I still can run every game there is, except freaking poe2 because its giving me a literal slideshow if there is more than 10 mobs spawning in. Every Strongbox I open, every Ritual I start, I get Freezes and Framedrops where it feels like its not FPS anymore but SPF (Seconds per frame). What a shame. They could focus this so much better if they werent running Highend hardware across the firm, having a few mid and low budget setups in GGG Quarters would be such a huge impact
Oof, 4K is crazy 😅 but yeah, optimisation in PoE 2 is really horrid, worse than some console pc ports. I’m glad I at least managed to fix pc freezes and constant crashes, it was unplayable
I just don’t get how I can go from being completely fine to pc crashing and lagging in town. PBO2 helped a little but it’s still so laggy. I just wanna play the game how it was
I agree the optimisation of PoE 2 is absolutely horrid. I’m glad I improved it and most of all, got rid of crashes and PC freezes it caused, that was the worst.
With their new update, I know they did optimization because with my 9800x3d I could not stream my screen on discord and play, and now It runs perfect.....But thanks for the video but
To be honest, you stop paying attention to it real fast. I also thought the same when I started using FSR ( it is not blurry in other games so no idea what is happening with PoE ) but soon I forgot about it. In all the visual cluster fiesta I see nothing anyway so 😂
Still, never played a game where the game multithreading deadlocks pc, and u need to restart it. That is a really big issue that they need to come to terms with... Microsoft will not give a f for sure.
i was playing mostly fine about a week ago, with random lag spikes/2-5 second freezes (couldnt find cause yet), but otherwise smooth and good fps and good MS...i just logged on again, and im at 7 fps and i cant play, tried some fixes but nothing so far. anybody else having issues?
i switched to xmp profile and neither windows nor bios could open, red led indicator DRAM was shining at my mobo. Reset cmos/taking battery off didnt work, switching ram, testing each did nothing. went to sleep, could not sleep all night cuz i was wondering how can i fix it. at the morning i just managed to get to the bios and everything works good. THE GAME OPTIMISATION IS TRASH, you can do shit about it. fps drops under 40 especially in end game r5 7500f rtx 4070s 2x16 ddr5 w11
Wait wait wait … that’s horrible to hear but at the same time … something is seriously wrong with either your motherboard or the ram 😅🙈 that should definitely not happen
how do you get your sparks to look like that. i have found that my fps issues only begin when I start sending out thousands of sparks a second and belive that the smaller and lower quality my sparks are the better fps I would get while casting
dude this is the worst video - almost bricked my computer DO NOT UPDATE TO 24H2 = stay on 23H2 Video makes it sound like 24h2 is better - its not -- your game will start freezing every 30 seconds for 5 seconds on 24h2 - dont use it Tried recovering and reverting back to 23h2 as he shows (not restore point but removing update) this doesn't work and ruined required me to reset my windows. Lost nearly everything but at least still have my files on computer... basically fresh install now. Wasted hours DONT USE THESE TIPS
I have been trying to fix my personality for the past 30+ years. Still no luck 😂 that is why I always try to at least make timestamps and usually event write a summary in the description 😁
Agreed actually ☺️ still learning how to do content properly. I have some old gameplays where I run 20 fps, should have used those to do a comparison within this video for sure. Thanks for the comment 💪🏻
such a great game, but performs so poorly. where is the 0% bloom option, disable screen shake, disable motion blur, depth of field.. you know all the things you turn off almost immediately. Lets hope they fix it, some projectile builds are just unplayable in dense end game maps...regardless of being on the lowest settings and having a monster rig.
totally agree. With FSR and all that the game is either unplayable or looks like Gameboy Colour game :'D i tried to play maps with guilduies, all 3 lightning builds. My PC and other guildie PC insta crashed, only PS5 survived 😂🙈
And yet it’s not ☺ cpu usage improved by half, affinity fixed alt tabbing to other apps, PBO lowered temps by 20 degrees and improved clocks, people still forget to set XMP in bios for their RAM. Oh and if you watched the video, you know that I was playing on even lower settings and tried even setting the game to lower resolutions with no help ☺☺ Negativity like that never helped anyone ☺️ your comment is fake 😂
@@Lunatalli and yes it is alll these guides are fake nothing u do outside of the game will boost any preformance and its like 10-5 fps only lol and sometimes u dont gain anything and not every pc can enable xmp , i got sold a motherboard that doesnt run my ram on xmp2
they literally are tho due to bad optimisation :) probably in connection with 24h2 update, because people with worse machines on w10 report better performance. Check forums, people claim they are spiking with 4080S GPU etc
i hope they would optimize it asap, having a hard time doing endgame gameplay because of the fps drops
Yeah, same. Optimising PC in general and then lowering settings, using dynamic culling and FSR etc helped a bit but still it’s horrible performance 😅
I feel you, running 9700x3d with 7900xtx and during breaches i have 30-40fps, this is some kind of an unfunny joke
ITS SOOOOBAAAAD, legit thought of making a melee so i can have smother fps from 0 projectiles
its fkd atm

Main cause of crashes is athat POE2 has a major memory leak issue, filling your system memory, spilling over and filling windows memory cache and crashing.
Crashes get more frequent only fix is to re-boot pc.

Totally. For now FSR or DLSS plus dynamic culling and optimising windows is all we can do. But the optimisation of the game is error 404
Everything worked more or less great, but about 3 days ago I've started encountering pixelation, FPS drops and stuttering in intense battle. From 120+ in solo instance to 20 FPS in battle.
I wouldn’t be surprised they are rolling out shadow patches for stability which don’t always work out well
Did a system restore from a few days ago, back to 150 fps instead of 65 fps. Recovery was not an option.
I wonder why 24h2 update is such an issue since in a lot of AAA titles it improved performance, but in PoE it’s just oof
For Stormweaver or classes that "shoot a lot" like mercenary, ecc. I recommend setting "number of light low" so they will not render with ur skills and potentially loose FPS

it is an old version of FSR which is used in PoE 2. Turn the sharpness up for now and hope the best.

Im using 7900xt. Put my core to 16. Run losescalling.. all good. The only problem is the game itself.
