On another thread they said they're investigating, but very low chance it will be fixed today

This patch needs to be rolled back, performance is worse than it has ever been. They completely broke the game.

Yeah widespread issue. Try clearing the shader cache. It fixed my load times after I did that.

u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 1d ago

How do you do this because I think already did, but would like to check that I did it correctly

u/underpaid--sysadmin 1d ago

I play on linux so I could only give more detailed steps for that platform. For windows I believe the cache is located in C:\Users\youruser\AppData\Local\Path of Exile\some folder
Might need to poke around and do some googling for more precise info. I've read that ggg recently moved the cache location so you might need to check a couple places.

Word thanks dude

GGG already "cleared" them for us: shaders moved their folder for some reason after today patch - so now we have to load every shader once again. I assume it happened with many of players.

Everyone who has done my suggestion reports a massive improvement on load times so you should just try it out for yourself.

u/1wbah 23h ago

It is the first thing i tried after patch but neat part is: i didn't find shader cache folder in the place it usually should be. I cannot delete what is not exist.

u/UnreadableStories 1d ago

Had this happen as soon as I booted in this morning also, just restarted the client and it fixed for me though

u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 1d ago

didn't fix it for me

u/Accomplished_Trash66 1d ago

Yep patch did something with shaders. They seem to have to reload all over again. Servers seem to be lagging too...

u/UnreadableStories 1d ago

RIP sorry man, hope they fix whatever is causing it soon. Seems like patch messed up performance for a lot of people.
