100% cpu & 20-40 FPS after update

[Franxx]

the game is unplayeble for me after the update, am i missing something? the cpu and gpu on fire at 100% usage also fps does even reach 40 with black screen sometimes and tried other renderer options vulkan and DX12 not working

Yes, they borked something else with the latest update, unfortunately this is a very bug mess update right now, i haveing lots of problem too, and unable to play after this update, huge slowdowns to fps, huge glitches and bugs, and some are scary sometimes, i hope they fix this asap.

7gb of ram is hilarious. i see it sometimes maxing out my nvme drive too occasionally.

Which CPU/GPU you have?

GTX 1080ti and i7-8750k it was all good before the update about 120 fps in crowded maps and i play skelemages

my fix (not guarantee to work for others)
found out it was CPU problem for me (i5-2500, gtx970, 8GB RAM)

go to:
C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile
and backup all files inside somewhere and delete them

open up the game and then go in game options,

in the performance metrics, enable "graph details" to "All graphs", enable "show bars" and put transparency to max

observe the details top right on the screen next to minimap and see the MS values. If CPU is not stable and spike between high and low, (In my case CPU was spiking to 20-30 MS too high) you will see FPS getting lowering and studder happening every few seconds.

Fix:
go in game options, scroll bottom to advanced settings and disable:
"Engine Multithreading"

I saw immediately stable CPU MS values, graphs doesn't keep changing and stable 60 FPS sustained. Both CPU and GPU values at 11-12 MS

I just came here to share news and need more testings on this one. If it is solved the issue for you, let me know.

Your workaround actually helped me! But I did discovered something horrible! While setting up the CPU & GPU overlays I saw my cpu going from 13ms to 70ms like terrible fast, from low to high like a heart attack.
This is something that was never happened me before my time in PoE (more than 1k hours). I cannot stress enough how tasking this is on your cpu health, be careful.

And yes, after disabling Multithreading option I got back to a stable 9 to 13 CPU MS. Jesus.

While not a definitive "fix" you can play at back again at a stable rate until GG fix this BIG problem, sometime soon, hopefully.

didnt work for me, still cpu 100% gpu 90% with 70 fps

I was having very very bad issues myself after that update..I fixed it though, I turned off v-sync and capped my fps to 90 and it runs smooth again, Every now then if a huge group appears on the screen out of nowhere I will get a spike for a second but it fixes itself..
Also, I did the dx-11 thing "dx11-refresh that someone else mentioned and maybe that helped as well..

this helped me with the performance i did a full map with some spikes but does not fix the high usage of cpu and gpu

[Dume]

Game is lagging and even freezing for a couple of seconds at a time now when it never used to, something is broken for sure.
