Path of Exile 2: Performance Plummeting Since Latest Update (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Try using the reset shader cache on the adrenalin app, then delete the folder for steams shadercache as well, then try again.
How to fix it
- Clear your shader caches. Open the AMD Adrenalin application and use the option to reset the shader cache. Afterward, locate and delete the Steam shader cache folder.
- If you cannot find the Steam shader cache folder in the standard local application data directories, search for the correct directory inside the main Steam installation folders.
If it still doesn't work
- Check your file permissions and adjust them if necessary.
- Add an exception for the game in your firewall settings.
- Completely reinstall the game and perform a clean reinstallation of your graphics drivers.
- Consider that the issue might stem from a bug caused by a microtransaction (MTX) rather than your system hardware or standard game files.
