[1.05] A problem I noticed with regard to perfromance

[Insolentius]

For me, PoE typically runs at 60 FPS - 1080p, with frame rate drops when multiple spell effects overlap. Yesterday, I ventured into the Dyrford Ruins and noticed that the frame rate dropped to about 30 despite having my characters stand still with no enemies in sight. This poor performance persisted throughout the dungeon until I managed to kill every enemy on the map; then the performance jumped back to 60 FPS.

 

It seems that the game is rendering every character on the map, even if they're obscured by fog of war or if they're located in rooms/locations that the player hasn't explored yet. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

EDIT: ignore the typo in the thread title

Same here. Copperlane was awful for the same reasons I'm guessing. Hoping the next patch comes with some optimisation.

I just logged out in Dyrford Ruins and came to the forums for the same issue.

I get performance issues too, post-patch 2.0.

 

Pre-patch I was getting a constant 60 FPS in every area, can't remember it dropping below that even for fights.

 

Now, post-patch, I get a max of 45 FPS and it usually hovers around 15 FPS or lower when there are enemies on screen. It was 45 FPS at Caed Nua - and lower when I went to the new area (not White March, but the other one). It was so bad that I decided to halt my playthrough - it was unplayable.

 

Loading times seem to be three times as long now too.

 

Only other thing that has changed about my PC is that it is now running Windows 10, where it was Windows 8 before. Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad 9660 3.0ghz, GeForce 960 4GB (it was a 750 TI before, a weaker card that still did 60 FPS), 8GB RAM. Samsung 840 Evo SSD.

 

Running at 1920x1080 with vsync off, 60 FPS cap on.

Hello all.  Can any of you that are still having this issue upload some files to Dropbox for me so I can take a closer look?  Output logs, saved games, and dxdiag files would be a great help.  Thanks for your support and patience during this issue.
