  • Idontre40008132 Idontknow.... (@Idontre40008132) reported

    @pathofexile maybe yall should wait on promoting your bullshit mtx until you can make the game actually playable. this texture streaming issue is legit breaking the game.

  • X_Silvertongue Ciffer Silvertongue🐺💀 (@X_Silvertongue) reported

    @pathofexile Cool, if you could also provide some technical support on why game became unplayable with constant lagging and crashes it would be good so I can actually try the MTX or the other ones i bought.

  • Master_Zoen Kevin M. (@Master_Zoen) reported

    So...when I stream Path of Exile, OBS captures everything just fine *EXCEPT* for Ultimatum and Ritual content. Framerate drops to 40 or less. This makes zero sense, and every tweak I've tried doesn't fix the issue. Is there something I'm missing? #Twitch #twitchstreamer #help

  • Tirawi Khalid Tirawi (@Tirawi) reported

    @pathofexile My suggestion is fixing your game. Had two ex in ultimatum last night and I died to invisible mobs, had another today and got a crash to desktop. Real fun losing my first three ex of the league because you lot are incompetent.

  • Rez629 Jeremy Koster (@Rez629) reported

    @pathofexile Very cool mate, but how do you plan we actually enjoy our mtx while you can't even load textures into your game yet? :') Please go fix your **** before shoving your ads down our throat for one single league thanks.

  • GL1DARN GL1DARN (@GL1DARN) reported

    @nzsonleo @pathofexile No problem glad i could help you out.

  • joeldombek Joel 🍥 (@joeldombek) reported

    @pathofexile im having issues with primal aegis, it never comes back on & only appears after loading an area. I believe something is wrong with it. I have looked all around and havent found any help please

  • C0d3Y3ll0W Justin Parnell (@C0d3Y3ll0W) reported

    @pathofexile is there anyone I can get in contact with to troubleshoot and possibly resolve server connectivity and lag issues?

  • _galdoo Galdo 💉🐊 (@_galdoo) reported

    @pathofexile i'm having some issues with huge black squares when im on an ultimatum encounter and using void sphere, i already updated my gpu driver and it's happening still, what can I do? ):

  • Ashinymudkip Tiffany Lynn (@Ashinymudkip) reported

    @Tirawi @pathofexile Just remember every issue isn’t exactly easy to replicate on their end. They WANT the game to run smooth for it’s longevity. Did you remove the windows security update kb5001330? It’s causing a ton of gaming issues and I have not had an issue since.

  • lucaslsf Lucas Morales 🏴 (@lucaslsf) reported

    @pathofexile I'm having a lot of trouble loading into zones. Every 3rd, 4th try I get disconnected. Is this a known issue?

  • KokushiGG Kokushi (@KokushiGG) reported

    @Karvarousku @pathofexile Lmao that is unfortunate. Not sure if you saw the post regarding the latest Windows 10 Update, uninstalling that definitely helped a lot but there are still issues for sure.

  • r4be_ r4be (@r4be_) reported

    @Loxest @danteafk @pathofexile Harvest is like a circus :) Without the elephants, the giraffes, no lions, no monkeys, the clown is on vacation, the acrobats are at home with broken legs, you can't buy spun sugar or ice cream, it's raining and all the kids are crying.

  • Ashinymudkip Tiffany Lynn (@Ashinymudkip) reported

    @Tirawi @pathofexile This is your friendly reminder that the design team has nothing to do with fixing any issues you have in the game, are they supposed to sit with their hands tied while other departments are working?

  • Tirawi Khalid Tirawi (@Tirawi) reported

    @pathofexile Well the game is currently running like absolute trash and I keep getting invisible mobs and crashes to desktop but thank god you guys released an MTX. I've supported y'all 8 years and spent like $2k, but you won't see another dime until you fix these damn performance problems.

  • SpaceandChitown Spaceace (@SpaceandChitown) reported

    Sad news...I went to try Path of Exile to see what would happen with lag on stream...even just on the recording...it's like 4 fps...so it looks like no PoE today...BUT WE GOT ESO! Going live at 9am central!

  • Tirawi Khalid Tirawi (@Tirawi) reported

    @Ashinymudkip @pathofexile Friendly reminder that GGG still hasn't addressed or acknowledged any of the issues, so I'm going to sit here and post it on every one of their tweets until they get off their *** and do something. I like MTX and don't care if they sell it. I just want a playable game.

  • Bane99883368 Bane (@Bane99883368) reported

    @pathofexile I'm ******* sick of the way you **** something up to the point of it becoming OBSOLETE! harvest now is a waste of ******* time FIX THE DROP RATES OF AUGMENTS!!!

  • BoxPressRadio Dan (@BoxPressRadio) reported

    I'm getting a lot of hard crashes in @pathofexile right now. Anyone else having issues?

  • Ginja_ninge Ginga_ninge (@Ginja_ninge) reported

    @Niniskya @pathofexile Remove n try again..never had an issue Nini.

  • KartoffelPoE Kartoffel (@KartoffelPoE) reported

    @Karvarousku @pathofexile "We tested these under load in our clinical conditions and found no such problem, it confuses us as much as you. But no, we want the game to look good on stream :)"

  • LaurakBuzz Laura Kate Dale (@LaurakBuzz) reported

    @hornswroggle1 @pathofexile Indeed, while this was a non story, it's the kind of event which could be avoided in future with a public "We allow macros for disabled players, if you have been banned in error let us know here" message listed somewhere.

  • montanhaa_95 Leonardo Prado (@montanhaa_95) reported

    @pathofexile Instead of nerfing (once more) the ultimatum encounters and mobs, please, PLEASE, increase the loot that it yields. The mechanic itself is cool, but the rewards are terrible. Also, please fix blastchain detonation bug.

  • ChazFoulstone Chaz (@ChazFoulstone) reported from Bristol, England

    @HughHoult @pathofexile It's not a nerf, it's a fix. This was obviously never intended therefore they're well within their right to change it mid league.

  • DavidEberhard91 David Eberhard (@DavidEberhard91) reported

    @pathofexile So many people below that doesn't know the difference between a "nerf" and a "fix"...

  • Dracofav John (@Dracofav) reported

    Fingers crossed that latency is less bad today because trying to play Path of Exile last night was painful with the lag. Thankfully I'm using a minion build so it really didn't matter much but I want to play properly.

  • Garn_Desanea Garn (@Garn_Desanea) reported

    @pathofexile any news about the serious disconnection problems? Yesterday i even saw a queue of 1000 people after DC, it's not on my side

  • k3m15a Keiv M. (Essential) - 🇯🇲 (@k3m15a) reported

    .@pathofexile after login I HAVE to go hideout & use my skills at least once to avoid lag in a zone. I have noticed that asset loading lags so much I get disconnected for delirium, abyss, & ultimatum. please for option to fully load assets in a zone before we enter?

  • sxxnx Jesper (@sxxnx) reported

    @pathofexile how about you fix the ******* textures so we can actually render the ******* cyclone effect to begin with? <3

  • NerdSpluge Nerd Spluge (@NerdSpluge) reported

    @pathofexile texture fix when? Or will we need to keep using --waitforpreload ?
