100% cpu causing extremely long load times.

[ellisD]

There are many other threads about load times but the vast majority aren't clarifying I believe. Stop telling people it's their (or my) hard drive. It's not.

Firstly, that's a godly amount of people whose HD just died. Secondly once you're in the game the HD has done it's job and is used little.

It's taking me 35 seconds to log in, 35 seconds to load my character, over 20 seconds for fresh areas. It's taking me 8 seconds + in order to load or switch cosmetics. It's taking over 6 seconds for the world map.

The bottleneck is the CPU. Period. It's not us, it's the game. Never had this issue until the update and have zero issues on any other game.

Where is the solution, where is GGG's response?

Only for around 15 years. Have you tried reading?

And even if I wasn't youre seriously trying to tell me it's a SATA's fault for a cosmetic taking 8 seconds to load? Seriously?

Belligerence isn't something that should be celebrated.

Everyone blaming OP is a dumb clown. The CPU usage issue and longer loading times started after patch 0.2.0.

Thank you. I don't frequently visit discussions on Steam but this crowd is the worst I've ever seen.

same trouble after patch

Try disabling steam overlay, that one messed with my CPU.
And try not to use intel CPUs cause they got lots of issues in games.
Even NVIDIA GPUs are beginning to struggle with the newer broken drivers they keep pushing out.

OP is correct the game bottlenecks CPUS bad and the game has not been optimized that well. On release of dawn of the hunt the game ran worse than Marvel Rivals on release and most of us know how bad that was. Marvel Rivals actually got fixed though and now POE 2 is running a bit better but not by much. It is not an HD issue I run it off an m.2 drive which is faster than a standard SSD. a 3080 rtx card should be adding more to the resource hungry game but its locked into using 99% cpu and 1% gpu lol. POE 1 ran much better with 10x more mobs on screen maybe they need to have a look at the old code and see what they can do graphically POE 1 was fine imo looks better in some cases and run better. I hope they will do some work into optimizing the game better in the future. Currently the game is slow and feels more like a chore than it is enjoyable and fun and when you add in slow load times for zones or hitting quest/map button or microtransaction button or anything and you have to wait its just painful. Give us a mini game or optimize it better GGG thx.
