Hi all,

Path of Exile's new League, The Forbidden Sanctum, launches today at 2 PM Eastern time, so I thought it'd be good to have a thread about it. Who else is leaguestarting today/this weekend? Does anyone want to team up for playing through the acts?

For those who missed it: Hexbear has its own Path of Exile guild, named Path of Hexile (guild page is here, though non-members won't be able to see anything there). Anyone who would like to join is welcome, please either DM me here or message @Atrociraptor in-game to do so.

Also, for anyone who is leaguestarting: what build do you plan to run?

I'm going to do hit EA Raider again, since it was so easy to level last league, then stop in the mid-60s (just before killing Kitava) to do some endless Heist for a while, and try to trade my way up to early riches.

    I was planning on joining the guild, but I keep getting fps death. Gonna have to sit this one out until they fix their engine.

      Have you tried switching between Vulkan and DX12? Sometimes one of them works much worse than the other depending on your system.

        I tried all the tricks. Clearing the cache worked for awhile until it didn't. My computer can run dishonored 2 on high, so it's something with the game.

          Yeah I get that. Mine sometimes drops to 30 frames in certain areas, seemingly at random. Seems like the engine changes they've made on the way to PoE2 have had some performance consequences that weren't ironed out.

            I'll probably try 2 when it comes out, but for now I am literally unable to play in a lot of the maps. Supposedly this has been a known issue for a few years now.
