SERIOUS ENEMY EFFECT AFFIX CPU/GPU BUG..

[Pizzashot]

This game got a serious problem which makes ENEMIES WITH MODIFIERS ramp up the cpu/gpu to 200%. The game itself is fine but the PC goes bananas when an enemy shows up with some affixes. It is probably an engine thing that they add effects that pretty much is more intense than anything else in the game. The PC should not shut down only because you are up against an rare enemy, when it is fine with 4832769483 normal enemies.. I notice all the time when my gpu fan ramps up and it is almost always when there is a rare or unique enemy on the screen.

Poe2 is not using UE5 - it's the Poe1 engine but massive enhanced.

Confirm. FPS drop is significant and also some on death effects cause enormous stuttering.

Its server side related to my understanding

I am running on a potato with AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and AMD Radeon 7800 XT and POE2 is shutting my computer off several times a day because it overheats when some special enemy show up to brag about some effect that is not noticeable to the eye but destroys performance. I also try some Ancestral Warrior build on my warrior and the whole screen is like a hellfire and my pc does not like that, at all, especially when the cool rare enemy shows up. I could probably upgrade my fans but this is the only game that is doing this right now. Like it is a 2d game, why is it so darn demaning at times? And I am playing with everything on low and my fps is fixed even though I have a mid-high end pc build. POE2 is draining way too much resources to do very little, other games has done the same and underclocking is pretty much the only option to not make stuff overheat as much. There is some option in their engine that is doing the same thing as UE5 to show some resource-hog effect that is not needed, UE5 screwed up badly when it was released because AMD cards was not really supported, they could run but very badly and it took months before they fixed the problem, probably somewhat the same story with POE2 and its engine.

If you are so sure that your computer is overheating, then you should work towards keeping it cool.

Under-clocking is one way to do this, however increasing the delta of your cooling medium and the effectiveness of the heat transfer should gain you more stability. (get better cooling)

OR, you are completely wrong about it overheating and it's likely multi-threading problem like most other people are reporting.

Try conducting a stress test of your systems using 3DMark (google it) and keep an eye on your thermals. Idealy you want your CPU to stay under 80c , GPU under 90c. If your system can't do this while running 3DMark, you should seriously think about adding fans, rearanging them, or using liquid cooling.

If you conclude that your issue is NOT overheating from the 3DMark stress test, try various other things that have already been discussed in the Forums/Discussion board for multi-threading problem.
