  • StuDMitch Stuart "Cybac" Mitchell (@StuDMitch) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile I was having issues last night, since the last couple of patches it's been glitchy, slight pause, then everything is in fast forward to catch up. Nothing has changed my side and it was running smooth as a nut before. Hoping its temporary. Glad I'm not on HC!

  • RBImGuy Robert Johansson (@RBImGuy) reported

    Issue with #pathofexile you either need a Headhunter or Mageblood. Both are like 100+ exalts. Game has become a trade simulator.

  • KingOfAbyss666 Simon Lefebvre (@KingOfAbyss666) reported

    @pathofexile I wanted to support you by purchasing those, downloaded again, but fix the freaking lag it's impossible to play.. cannot believe after all these years..

  • dvojak_pavo Pavo Dvojak (@dvojak_pavo) reported

    @pathofexile can you please make something about frankfurt server crashes? OR a major region that is playing your game is not important? Losing maps entire time because of instance crash is annoying. It makes me really not invest or pay for anything any more. Thank you

  • ExystanceGaming Exystance (@ExystanceGaming) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile I’m having a lot of instance crashes with no reasons. I had no problem until this league :/

  • AldianSethiur Aldian Sethiur (@AldianSethiur) reported

    @ZoarBro @pathofexile @TESOnline I have a friend with the same issue. He's always buying ****. He easily has spent hundreds on just homes alone. It's crazy. I buy things here and there, have to control myself when cool **** comes out haha

  • Vapid_Flowers Vapid Flowers (@Vapid_Flowers) reported

    @zeekle1 @pathofexile 3.16.1 was 3 days ago? And what actually needs changes about it other than server issues that aren't something you can fix in a day?

  • LB_Overdrive Michael Fournier (@LB_Overdrive) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile The game crashes at least once everyday but I don't have performance issues, even on stream.

  • I_crack_jokes Gatsby (@I_crack_jokes) reported

    @pathofexile are you familiar that your game is bricking generation 1 ps4? Do you have a fix so us g1 ps4s can play your game?

  • KingOfAbyss666 Simon Lefebvre (@KingOfAbyss666) reported

    @pathofexile it's been ages since I've played and now even with nothing running I lag like no tomorrow, only on PoE WT?

  • jkmilobm88 jkmilobm88 (@jkmilobm88) reported

    @pathofexile fix the lag spikes, is unplayable at the moment

  • GhazzyTV Ghazzy Bodensjö (@GhazzyTV) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile Poking you on Discord, I've had similar issues.

  • theDoctor_x13 TheDoctor (@theDoctor_x13) reported

    @pathofexile Really wish there weren't modes that totally ruin your day on disconnect :( Server issues disconnected me during a Grand Heist lockdown and I lost so much good stuff :(

  • e_nsign Yume (@e_nsign) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile 5950x 3080ti crash every 4-5 fkin maps

  • jrxpress01 JRXpress (@jrxpress01) reported

    @DesminoVoid @UtkuKamilOzen @pathofexile It's actually a legit problem in Standard

  • Gibson1993 Random DM (@Gibson1993) reported

    This #PathOfExile league I've been doing a lot a lab runs. There is 1/3 chance that game will crash during run. Today I've crashed 3 times in a row. Extremely frustrating.

  • AlexisMchel Shun!? (@AlexisMchel) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile Got terrible fps issues for the past weeks. After testing the problem comes from using multiple monitors with different resolutions (and refresh rate in my case). Single monitor setup is super fine.. (wich is not the solution I know)

  • Itsjustaword69 Beagle Dad (@Itsjustaword69) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile Yep same issue. Absolutely unplayable for me.

  • wajih_hyder Wajih Hyder Chohan (@wajih_hyder) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile Started getting constant cpu latency spikes a couple of days ago. Plays ok but it feels kind of laggy now. Issue want there before.

  • DingersAndFrogs Gimme All The Pies (@DingersAndFrogs) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile After last patch I had terrible crashing issues if I tried to juice maps in the slightest.

  • ItsYojimbo 👨‍🍳jimbud👨‍🍳 (@ItsYojimbo) reported

    @Zizaran @pathofexile For the last 2 weeks or so DirectX has been extremely spikey and unstable in FPS/Latency. Vulkan is smoother but crashes 100% of time in the first 10 minutes. To desktop with no error

  • Owen_J_S doge (@Owen_J_S) reported

    @pathofexile Are you guys thinking about addressing the dn problem

  • Yenizza1 Yenizza (@Yenizza1) reported

    @BlenBodega Just doodling and grinding path of exile, issues sleeping though.

  • lancemate Ben Marshall (@lancemate) reported

    @RAGGERxxxx @pathofexile Do you genuinely think 3D artists can fix bugs in the codebase?

  • Vapid_Flowers Vapid Flowers (@Vapid_Flowers) reported

    @Naxious2 @zeekle1 @pathofexile And we had up to 3.16.0d in patches before 3.16.1 plus all the hotfixes. That's more than a patch a week. So again, what do you want and what's the problem?

  • LeChris18 LeChris (@LeChris18) reported

    @pathofexile I‘d like to have a 3 week event starting 17th … the events on 24th and 31st sound weirder the more i think of it … „i left my family for the 24th event, now it is bugged and no one is at the GGG office to fix it“

  • StevenAngus Steven Angus (@StevenAngus) reported

    @pathofexile fix your loading screens mate

  • Belzariak1 Belzariak (@Belzariak1) reported

    @GhazzyTV @Zizaran @pathofexile Share with the whole class Mr Streemr? We have so many people trying to figure out these issues.

  • ChefAero_ ChefAero (@ChefAero_) reported

    @Owen_J_S @pathofexile I haven’t been keeping up much this league what’s the dn problem?

  • DesminoVoid HappyWhiteHeteroMale (@DesminoVoid) reported
