Upcoming Video Memory Utilisation Improvements

Thank you so much for the informative post! It's great to hear the how of your guys problem-solving - I'd love to see more updates like this in the future; would that be possible?

What about directX12? Is it incompatible in some way for the game?

Very interesting post, thanks.

Good to hear about an update. I've recently got hooked on POE and the Ultimatum challenges are the only thing I can't do. As soon as I spawn one the entire screen freezes and then I find myself dead. It's so weird because the rest of the game runs around 100fps no problem. Being high level now, a rando death just hurts the XP loss too much for me, so I have to avoid them until it's fixed.

Come on guys, spawning a thousand of monsters is not a new thing, this happened in Blight and even streamers had memory issues, back in the day.

Now they do it again, they throw a thousand rares in a tiny circle and expect to go well in performance.

I would love to have the most powerful pc in the world but I don't.

no sure that will solve the issue with texture streaming...

Sooo does this mean that a gtx 1660 with 6gb of dedicated ram plus 16 ram on my board is not enough ram to play poe even in low quality????? This for me sounds ridiculous! I'm sure I'm missing something in coding or engine terms but gezzzzz luise!!! I'm starting to think that the more leagues we get the more assets we are going to have to load if this continues this game is going to ask for enterprise GPUs with 24gb or more!!!

I sure hope this fixes my, and other players, massive fps drops. Because i nearly quitted this league and now i can somewhat play..removed all sounds completely (config file) only have filter and voice lines sounds active and graphics are pretty much low with exception of textures that are in medium. I also made the phyx setting in my GPU switch from auto to the gpu itself ..saw a small benefit from it but not much.

Ultimatum encounters are somewhat playable..depends if im lucky or not and the game doesn't spawn tons of enemies, delirium ....im not even gonna try then to be honest, the were already doing frame drops to me in the previous league soooo no thanks. Some enemies in maps still cause my frames to drop to single digits but as i said its a tinny bit playable than before.

Really hope you fellas find some way to fix this in the long run otherwise you're just postponing the problem and it might get worst than what it is right now.

Thank you so much.

Sounds promising and I'm really glad to hear you are working on it. Communications like this really help us to feel like we've been heard and understood and I'd love to see more posts like this even if you don't have a fix in sight or even have time to look at it yet. We understand that your schedule is tight, we just want to feel reassured in some way.

And this.

Judging ggg's track record I'm pretty confident they are gonna f*ck this up and make things even worse.

"Our initial plan was to deploy this update in the next engine patch, which was previously scheduled for a week or two before 3.15's deployment in July. However we're very unhappy with the current situation so we are working towards pulling out this feature for deployment in the near future (ideally in the coming week, but we'll update this estimate as testing continues)."

Thank you very much.

This is 40% the reason I'm barely playing this league.

20% is burnout from 40/40 and level 100 during Rirual

Other 40% may be related to previous balance about some plants and a garden.
