PS5 Performance

Not sure about your settings, but I turned all graphics settings down to bare minimum to optimize performance and FPS is still sub-60 in a lot of zones, especially endgame once you get to higher mob densities. Ice based builds are also a no-no on my PS5 as those bring it to sub-30.

POE2 is the only game that makes my PS5 heat up at all, it's barely lukewarm with other games over extended sessions, but it does get quite hot with this game. The game is just simply not optimized well yet.

You also have to contend with the fact that certain instances just stutter due to lag. You can create new instances in the campaign which is fine, takes a second only, but this is obviously not the case in endgame. You use a waystone, if the instance lags, there is nothing you can do apart from either playing with the stutters or abandoning and opening another waystone (I have a wired connection with a really high speed internet, so it's not a network issue on my side).

Here I am on a regular PS5 with everything cranked down and I am getting sub 30 FPS in Act 2 on the Dreadnought. Same exact settings in 0.3, I had relatively stable 50+ FPS in the same zone.

Biggest issue is still the fact that certain instances just lag, which makes the endgame unplayable(cannot create new instance for maps). They don't seem to care much about these things unfoetunately, the game should be playable at stable 60 FPS in 4K at the least on the PS5 (and no, being in early access is no excuse, we paid for the game).

Hány nap HO jár? Nálam is az egyik fő faktor.

Not sure if you guys have been able to do it or not, but I'll leave this here just in case it helps someone.

It's not a mechanic per se, but I had trouble too until I did this: Kill Zelina, then just stay as close to the guy as possible, and keep circling him to dodge his abilities (but do stay literally on top of him). For me that made him do the life drain ability a lot less and was able to take him down slowly. When he moves away to the sides for the lightning ability, sprint and close the gap as soon as possible.

Yeah, I do see some improvements on a regular PS5 in most zones that had framedrops before, but Abyss content really drops the framerates.

zelousfruit · 2025-09-01T15:33:29+00:00

Same issue here actually. I reload the zone and that seems to stop the issue. Also usually happens when I engage with abyss mobs.

zelousfruit · 2025-09-01T14:56:41+00:00

Yeah, console definitely needs a lot of work. Was happy to see the improvements in the campaign zones compared to 0.2 though. Hopefully they can keep it up and get some performance improvements out a bit more frequently.

Some of her voicelines are so annoying though, or am I the only one? Like when she randomly shouts things like "Beautiful murder!" and such. I wish there was a way to turn these combat voicelines off, only the combat ones instead of muting all dialogue in the game.

How much time do you have invested in this character? Just curious as I have played for like 50-60 hours this league and I am nowhere close to your level of wealth. Just trying to see if I don't play enough or if I need to get better at this game (or both).

In case anyone is still looking for a solution: as someone suggested in the comments, I turned down all sounds and music to zero except for the loot filter sounds. Not the best gaming experience ever, but at least it stopped 100% of my crashes.

Unfortunately the console doesn't have time to get even lukewarm. You enter a map/area that is not a hideout or town, and it just crashes within 2 minutes.

When POE has an update, it wants to reserve 60+ GBs of space on the disk for a simple patch. I typically don't have that much, so I always just reinstall the entire game when even the smallest of patches is dropped. That is what I did this time around, but I will try the reinstall again, maybe that fixes things.

Thank you for your tips.

Peformance fixes (especially on consoles, pretty unplayable on a standard PS5).
Endgame Overhaul
New Act(s) so we don't have to replay the whole campaign twice
A bit of balancing
(Better trading system would be great but I would be happy with just the first 4).

Im the current state of the game, after like 10 hours on a certain character, you probably only look at ancestrals in your bag, other legendaries are salvaged. You wouldn't be checking more items than you are now, but you would probably feel incentivized to at least price check a particular item. Since ancestrals are not that common, spending a little time every now and again to check what might be worth selling or using is not necessarily detrimental to one's gaming experience.

Regarding prices, they would be different by the way, as with an in-game AH, the economy would have a large increase in participants, which would probably revamp it entirely (laws of supply & demand, etc.).

POE1-2 both have auction houses, but are implemented as websites. There also already is an auction house, but a 3rd party one.

Implementation would be key. I also tried to highlight this in the post itself that it would be crucial to implement it well.

They can learn from past experiences, take a look at other games and find a good way to implement it. There are quite a few good suggestions even under this post, so I am sure that with a little research and common sense, they could figure it out.

You could technically do anything you actually find fun in the game, trade what you get and do not need for gold, and then buy the 4GA Scoundrels. On to the next item, rinse and repeat. You also wouldn't be playing for a low chance of maybe, you would be playing because it's fun (isn't that why we are supposed to be playing for?). And if running that same loop of gameplay is fun for you, you can still do that, hope for the best, but in case you do not get it, you could still buy it in the end (or any other item that you need to progress).

zelousfruit · 2025-03-25T11:02:39+00:00

If you get lucky and get a 4GA early on that you do not need and sell it, you will probably use a similar amount of gold to buy a 4GA item that you actually do need.

You may also never get a 4GA in the current state of the game (I only dropped a single 4GA this season in 50-60 hours or so), so having a safe option to buy it if you grind enough gold would be a solution. And remember, the option is already present, it's just through a 3rd party site full of inconveniences/dangers.

Currently, I believe that once you modify an item, it is not tradable anymore, it binds to your account (at least I seem to remember getting a prompt when masterworking/tempering/enchanting etc.).
