TEXTURES NOT LOADING PoE 2 0.4

Having the same problem.

Same problem. Switching graphics settings doesn't help. Seems like GGG doesn't test on minimal configuration. As a Software QA I'm sad to see this absence of quality. Hope this lesson will be learned by GGG.

IdeaPad Gaming 3

I had my Vsync in game setting "locked". When I set it to adaptive the textures became normal again.....
**edit**
nvm 1 minute later it waas back again :(

really feels like the whole team gets a vacation on league start. Free play weekend and they aren't on this? Disappointing I keep giving POE 2 a chance but its getting harder each time.

Even with the Game Paused it still happened...

Bug Report: Textures and inventory icons degrade to blurry/low quality after 20 minutes despite all tweaks (RTX 3050 Laptop)

Summary:
Textures become progressively blurry ("soap-like"), overlapping artifacts appear during movement, and inventory item icons disappear (tooltips still work on hover). Issue starts fine but degrades after ~20 minutes of play, requiring relog or restart. Affects gameplay heavily in crowded fights with many mobs/effects. Problem appeared right after 0.4 league launch.

Hardware:

CPU: Intel Core i7-12650H

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 Laptop (4GB VRAM)

RAM: 16GB DDR5

OS: Windows 11

Resolution: 1080p (Full HD), tried downscaling to 720p (HD)

Steps to reproduce:

Launch game, play normally for 10-20 minutes.

Textures start blurring during movement (ground/walls flicker between sharp and blurry).

Open inventory: item icons vanish, but mouse hover shows full tooltip/stats.

Issue worsens in mob-heavy areas with particle effects.

Relog to new zone fixes temporarily (~20 min), then repeats.

What I've tried (all fixes temporary, ~20 min relief):

Graphics settings: Disabled ALL upscaling (DLSS Quality preset originally, tried FSR, NIS, native resolution). NIS lasted longest.

Texture Quality: Medium/High (not Ultra to avoid VRAM overflow).

Cleared AppData, verified/reinstalled game files via Steam.

Forced High Performance GPU in Windows Graphics Settings (poe2.exe → RTX 3050).

Monitored with Mem Reduct: RAM hits 90%+ during big fights (16GB not enough), manual cleanup delays issue but doesn't fix. VRAM also fills up over time.

Frequent zone relogs as workaround, but unplayable long-term.

Comparison:
Friend with i5-14400F + RTX 4060 Ti + 16GB DDR4 has ZERO issues on same patch/settings — runs stable for hours.

Expected: Stable textures/icons regardless of playtime.
Actual: Progressive degradation due to apparent VRAM/RAM leak.

DxDiag/Logs: Can provide if needed. Issue 100% reproducible. Please prioritize — makes league unplayable on mid-range laptops.
