Performance is getting worse with every patch
" If you put enough "juice" in a map/build to turn it into a mess of delirium fog and various effects, nothing will save you even with the top-tier hardware, mmkay. The engine itself became more demanding over the last couple years too, of course - i remember the times when i could run it at work on a "potato pc" with ye olde gtx780 and ye olde 2011-3 xeon with more or less stable 30/60 fps, but now any kind of "special encounter" like delirium blight ritual etc turns it into a slideshow even on lowest settings with no sound and dx11. "Path of Exile's engine is currently modern, lean and fast." - Chris Wilson, September 19th, 2019

Yeah its ridiculous, ive never had longer loading screens, every map my ping is through the stratosphere, im turning into a hideout warrior because id rather make currency without chain feeding and dying in maps due to servers (not even my own systems fault)
Itd be one thing if it was a skill issue on my part (being a bad player), or bad build, or bad pc but its none of the above. Classic deadlock detected into random rip, or rollback on the map completely. Last edited by SaulSantiago#5695 on Mar 28, 2026, 2:22:53 PM

There's some limit to how much shader cashe AMD cards have by default and it takes a regex tweak to change. Also there's a pack checker exe in the PoE folder people can run to look for corrupted assets. My system is nowhere near impressive but I guess between playing in standard league where towns have near zero people occupying it means I'm not loading everyone's MTX. Game runs fine? I'm not complaining...
Ryzen 5 5500 (six core am4) 16GB RAM @ 3200 (enable xmp in bios) SATA 3 SSD RX 580 card 1gig fiber internet My game chugs for a brief moment when I encounter bigger packs while rampage procs but I'm also seeing people say that this happens on their fancier x3d systems. Please note: I don't think I run what Exiles call "super juiced content" Dunno what that might actually be other than stacking as many delirium orbs onto a corrupted 8-mod map that has reflect.

The game is developing. If, at the same, your PC is not, then I don't know what you want. Get yourself a better hardware AND continue upgrading every 3 years, otherwise you will be whining on forums about how bad the game performance is.
