Why is performance so bad?
|
I love POE2 and play constantly at the moment but I have to ask, why oh why is performance so bad? I watched Alexander Sannikov's talk about rendering tech in POE2, and I thought 'wow this game has some cool technology'.
Now the game is out, and I have to run it in 720p with downscaling just to get 30fps with dips into the teens. Meanwhile I can play elden ring, armored core vi, and many other nice looking games at 1080p 60fps with frame dips into the 40s. Normally when a studio rolls their own engine they have better performance because they can focus on just what they need, but POE2 engine is the worst performing engine of all time on my system so far. In fact, I couldn't even play at launch. I'm not asking this question rhetorically by the way. I'm also a programmer. I actually want to know from a technical standpoint why this engine has such low performance, if anyone is knowledgeable. Dernier bump le 23 mai 2025 à 19:37:40

" My guess is at least in part related to this game touching so much the hard drive non stop... really non stop. I think this as some other few games suffer from too large resources (targeting resolutions and conditions that most players in fact do not use) and the data coherence goes down to hell because of that. |

Game lacks optimization but they are coming later, in fact, a cpu optimization pass is coming next patch.
