Game hard lag/stutter with decent PC
Well i belive i have a very decent PC maybe not the best but a decent one.
Overall the game runs fine here and there some stutters but nothing gamebreaking or annoying BUT when it comes to delirium, blight and other leagues where a lot of enemies Spawn, die etc my PC start dying, literally. either my PC is trash or the game isnt that good optimized or i can make some changes what will get rid of the stutters are there any fixes for these issues like changing a specific graphic option or anything you can change in the config file (if there is something like that.)
Now here my specs

GTX 1660 Super 6GB
Ryzen 5, 3600 6cores with 3.6 mhz
16 GB ram
SSD
i think these are the most important things.

so, is my PC trash or why is the game stuttering so hard?

ryzen 5 3600
rx 5700 xt
16 gb
2t hdd

Maxed out settings 1080p


Game runs smooth as butter, no fps drops at all.

So i suggest to disable AA and shadows (or lower them) also post processing, and see if it helps

I get stuttering in this game too. But it’s just random one week, runs with zero issues then for a few days stuttering every 20 minutes.

Use Vulcan over dx11 if you are having a problem, my game is a stutter fest with dx11 and smooth with vulcan.

Try changing your network settings to predictive.

Given the information it sounds like you have lock step on and if you are dropping packets or have latency issues it will stutter your game.

Mate you are telling me you got a problems? :D

My PC:

1080TI
i7 7700k
32GB Ram


optical fiber
Average 200Mbps download 40MBps upload ~25 ping

Still game like to freeze then speedup and fps drops. Poe has really bad optimalization

freeze and speed ups are the main indicators for network issues, either yours or GGGs, while playing on lockstep network mode.

If you play on south america, the brazilian server is garbo, i switched to texas and get better experience on texas server with 12x ping than on brazilian server with ping of sub 30

And yes, the game optimization on poe is notoriously terrible. Almost every new league mechanic creates freezes and crashes once it goes core. The game also creates extremely laggy instances every now and again, just yesterday i got a pretty much unplayable sirus instance and the lag vanished as soon as i opened a map...

GGG staff have some seriously talented people when it comes to imagining the game, but the programing section really sucks at their job

Ive had fps issues since the last update,m i had hoped todays would fix it. going from 120 down to 24 then back up just in hideout

I had this issue, it was directly tied to my internet connection. When my ISP gate was overwhelmed, I could barley play.
