Optimization

[Reanu Keeves]

You guys think that this game will get optimized properly? It runs a bit bad on my PC, but that's ok. It is an old PC, but I've seen some streamer or friends in general having performance issues using modern PCs (not 12 year old mschines) and mainly seems to be due to poor optimization, which is something that plagued Path of Exile for its entire life. Any hopes on things improving here in the future? Perhaps with full release?

No, PoE ran far better when the Vulkan driver was working.

When dx12 outperforms Vulkan it means something is broken.

How do you know the game is badly optimised? A game could run badly and be very well optimised and a game could run well and be very badly optimised. A game being well optimised does not equal game runs well. Thats not what that means. It means how well the developers gets it to run compared to the demands its making on the system.

A game with 1 polygon moving around a black screen would have a high frame rate without any optimisation whereas a game with 1000 billion polygons moving around a 3d world would run badly irrelevant of how well it was optimised.

It's the opposite for me, Vulkan runs better and doesn't have the seizure-inducing graphical glitches you get in the act 3 camp.

I'll put it in simple words... If a system meets (or surpass) all of the requirements of a game and the game shows performance issues, means there is something wrong about the functioning of the game. PoE2 in particular shows you a graph to determine what is bottlenecking and you could see is usually the CPU. This is something the engine has issues with, it has had forever, probably unable to optimize it without breaking the entire engine, but I do not work at GGG, even if I knew, not my job to fix it

Vulkan does run better

Happens to me also, only when corruption explode when i kill rare monster fps drop from 100 to 40

That is a good 3xample of poor optimization
