Latency spikes FIX (possible)

This fix works just fine for me and I hope it will help yall.

1. open the Nvidia control panel —> 3D settings —> manage 3D settings.
2. set the shader cache size to 100GB.
3. save and reboot.
4. done.


Backstory: for the first week after purchase, I had no problems with the game at all, but recently there have been huge latency spikes. I searched for a solution on reddit, poe2 forum, steam, and YT but found nothing.
After looking at the ping spikes w/ performance display (F1 button), i notice that the shader parameter was going crazy right before the ping jumped from the usual 30ms - 70ms to 300+ ms. Tried to change various settings within the game - nothing. I opened the Nvidia control panel where I found the shader cache size parameter. Changed it from "driver default" to "100GB” and the spikes disappeared completely. I think that having a large amount of free SSD disk space is also important (200GB in my case).

P.S. specs if it helps: win 10, r5 5600x, rtx4060, 16gb RAM, 400mbps internet connection.

Well, it works for me as well as for some guy according to poe forum. I’m just saying, try it if you have lags or stutters and see if it helps. If not, then you are experiencing another problem and should wait for GGG’s hotfix.
