Dx11 is unplayable AND looks worse.
" i have a ssd.... for you its maybe fine, for others its not. not a single person that plays poe with me likes this and we all will switch the game when something good will come out when nothing changes. im not a fanboy dude. i play games that are fun and running fine. this decision is not about an improvement. its a business decinion that cuts my fun to improve theyr income. i pay for games that i like, hundreds went into poe from my side but i wont pay a single penny again after this. |

" The connection thing is true. You can get fps spikes from your client waiting from instructions from the server. This can get worst with more players in the party , this is also way worst if there's a summoner in your party (not sure if they fixed this yet but they did improve it before). It used to crash instances or disconnect players sometimes. I recommend for players that play together in a party to all be on the same Gateway if possible. |

lemor, these new crashes off dx11 have nothing to do with ssd or cpu
poe is notorious for cpu load, but this aint it ssd - IVe had ssd for ages, and I have a nvme one that is lightning fast zones load lightning fast, still. Im at 10ms ping and I have zones load off ssd faster than any streamer I see. its not the load times lag, or cpu lag. those are clearly noticeable in other circumstances its crash on load/zoning in or lag/crash after crazy dense area zoning plus ugly uncaught c++ exceptions of stl lib like vector length (lol) |

" We live in the era of plug-and-play and ease of use and superfans on PoE forums casually recommend setting up a new operating system to try and fix GGG's aspirational game design, lol. Even the thing about checking your drivers. I was trying to recall the last time I updated my graphics drivers to alleviate some software problem, since my graphics work fine for most everything I do, and I'm pretty sure it was something PoE-related 2 or so years ago, too. Why is this game forcing users to become hardware technicians and not all these other games? And why is it then destroying the knowledge we gathered in order to play it by disabling the option to use it? It feels very punitive. Dernière édition par Sphairon#2971, le 11 mars 2019 à 07:32:39

" It's sadly the nature of online games, they constantly evolve and with that the demand to keep ones PC "up to date". Now that doesn't mean that one needs to buy a new PC every year but at least every 5 or something like that. And update the drivers at least once a year. That usually makes ones experience much smoother then treating the PC as an XBOX and never touching it. |

Once every 5 years?????????? PoE cant even compare to the current most demanding games. And I mean that it is way more demanding than all of them. We are not talking about updating every 5 years or even one, we are talking about updating every 3 months because either the new league mechanics will be unoptimized as hell(betrayal) or they'll make the boneheaded move to update to DirectX 11 like they did now.
PoE for what it is should not require the resources it does. It has nothing to do with PC maintenance or knowledge. Dernière édition par Johny_Snow#4778, le 11 mars 2019 à 08:42:51

" Been on the same computer for like 6~7 years (was not amazing to begin with), only added a new correct graphic cards couple of years ago, and PoE runs smoothly enough for me to play HC. Not saying that it's very well optimized at all, but every 3 month ? come on .... ffs SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

Doesn't run the best for me. Just the way it is. I play other stuff now.

" Apparently I owe GGG an apology - after I dug a bit deeper I realized my processor started overheating recently, severely limiting performance. After I fixed that POE went back to normal.... and it looks better I admit |

For me it freezes in fullscreen mode every 30min.
But plays fine in windowed fullscreen. Performance is acceptable. I dislike rarity so much im almost quitting poe2. GGG.
