Path of Exile 2: Massive FPS Drops with Fire VFX After the Latest Update (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: I have also had crazy issues since the latest update .

The problem

Anyone else experiencing massive performance issues after the latest update? I'm playing a Flameblast Oil Grenade build, which relies heavily on fire damage and generates a lot of fire effects. Before the update, I had absolutely no performance issues. Now, whenever there's a lot of fire on screen, especially during boss fights, my FPS can drop as low as 20 FPS. Has anyone else noticed similar…

What players suggest

I have also had crazy issues since the latest update . The maps always start off fine but after a few minutes my frames plummet and i start absolutely craaaaaawling across the screen . i have been trying to track down my shadercache to empty it cause that used to help but my issues after the latest update are different seeming than my shadercache having way too much in it

Abyss Quest Bug

Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Rerun the map with a new one. If the glowing green fissure near the boss area fails to close again, clear the map entirely to ensure all mobs are defeated.

Minions - BUG

Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Reset the minion count by reducing it to zero with the minus button, then increase it back to your maximum amount. If that fails, toggle your weapon set or check if attached skill gems increased the spirit cost beyond your available pool.
