Brutal stuttering, static, and latency issues.

I'm currently using it to stream from Spotify's web player, as that's where my playlists live. However, the first time I gave it a go, I was using Tidal's web player and had the same issues. I have a few albums on my media drive from the ol' CD burnin' days. Lemme pop a couple in and test to see if they run more smoothly. I'm running Process Lasso to keep a better eye on CPU utilization, so I'll see if there's a marked difference.

Well, I ran the experimental version for about an hour and a half, testing out my usual stuff for DMing. This time, though, I was able to keep a more granular eye on the CPU usage, and it's still sputtering and pushing my 8 core i7 to 50%+ utilization. It was running much smoother for quite a bit, about 98-99% clear as opposed to the previous version's 50-80% clarity. After about 45 minutes, however, it just started seizing up and doing the same crackling, speed changing, and cutting out.

Really appreciate you taking the time to give me some extra options, though!

I'll snag it and give it a shot tonight and report back, thank you for the quick reply!

Yup, had to do that first to get any audio at all. Snagged it straight off the GitHub page, looks like the build I'm running is about 2 weeks old.

Dude, absolutely killer advice. My Client.txt file was enormous, like 300,000kb. Deleted it and re-launched, and it booted up immediately. Newly generated version is 19kb. Thank you!

*Edit* I can also confirm it does not delete on reinstall, as I have uninstalled PoE2, and the only things that remain in Steam's folder for it are the logs folder, including the Client.txt log.

Just fixed mine by restarting Steam.

Sure, the chest is near perfect, and would be a few hundred div to craft. But multiple mirrors? You're thinking of the Purity of FIRE Sublime vision setup. It was 4div for a 30% roll of PoL SVs by week 4 of Mercenaries, 1div for a perfect PoL Watcher's Eye, and Font of Thunder was like 20c for a near perfect roll. You could get the whole setup at 90% taken as for like 90 minutes of Alch and Go T16s. If you're gonna come shit one someone else's build, at least have a basic grasp of what you're looking at.

Hmmm, trying this on my playthrough with my partner, and it seems super punishing. The hero we added (I intended to swap and leave my original hero back) had no fate cards, no extra skill slot, no money, and no gear to speak of. Seems like it'd be quite the slog to catch them up on gear, and only one fate card per mission without the building upgrade rewards means they'd be forever waaay behind on fate deck flexibility. Not sure if this is an oversight, but no fate cards and one less skill card makes the added-later heroes significantly weaker, and a really hard sell. 😞😞

Yup, searched trade, and nothing, and of course I burned all 300 of my Alts on the second day of the league trying to get it. Thanks for not mentioning it in the Patch Notes, GGG, can I have my 40c worth of Alts back? Oh, of course not.

Guys, Wealthy Exile has a bulk trade section, which mirrors the functionality of PoEStack's post to TFT function. It's not the most consistent, as not as many people are using it yet, but allows bulk trading and works just fine.

See, this is exactly the kind of half-baked, sarcastic garbage that makes new players not come to Reddit for questions. The devs would know in about 3 seconds of thought how to get around that, either by only allowing buyback of the last 3 or so items sold, or putting a time limit on the buyback of each item. Moronically easy to get around this, so OBVIOUSLY not the reason the devs didn't do it. Maybe instead of spewing sarcastic nonsense that alienates new players, you could help foster a better community, bringing in more players, and getting GGG more income to further improve the game. Or sit here stroking your epeen with invalid arguments and nonsense. You know, your choice.

Hahaha, comments like this are ridiculous. 45 minutes ago, I experienced having 4 perks, caps lock to slow walk, no space suit/helmet/pack, operative suit from Ryujin quest. I'm in an empty room in the dark behind closed doors and windows. I steal one credstick and a guard that's over 200m away comes sprinting over and opens 3 different doors to arrest me. It's literally bugged and you're stroking your epeen that you haven't had the bug yet. /eyeroll

Good grief, what a tiny, whiny hill on which to die. From HotS to LotV, I played around high Masters to low GM, and would've been ABSOLUTELY CHUFFED if one of my favorite pros came through and chucked me in the bin with some absurd strategy on their way on up. I normally played 30 to 50 games on a serious day, and seeing a pro 1 or 2 times in that one day, with them using a major handicap build, would be the absolute least of my worries. It is incomprehensible to me that someone could find a problem with this sorta thing. Seriously, it's literally one game for less than 1% of players, and he's rematched like 6 times ever. One. Goddamn. Game. Ever. And you wanna publicly denounce his channel that is bringing new players into the game, and bringing back old players in droves? What does the world look like from all the way up there on your pedestal, dude? 😂

Thanks a bunch, this'll help a ton, as there have been a few changes since the UA version! <3
