What GPU are you using?
Same issue, played for 3-4hours. Re-rolled to a new toon expierenced some major FPS/audio stutter, exiting game and logging in again and the game went back to normal. Playing offline, I have a 5xx series GPU so it’s not only older gen cards atm.
Same issue.
Refund in view
GTX 970 - maybe not so new, but on the previous LE version it worked very well
Same problem. I get to the login page, then it’s extremely slow to populate the region and language dropdowns. When they eventually load the ping is low - 33ms. The play online and play offline buttons do nothing, and after a few minutes the page is completely unresponsive.
Graphics card is RTX3060. It all worked fine on the previous LE version.
I am having the same issues. I can’t even get the in game bug report tool to populate. The stuttering lag is quite uniform, meaning that it happens very regularly and like clockwork.
Looking forward to a fix for this.

Thank you for sharing this fix.
Woohoo! Thank you Intrays.
I have the latest c++ patch v14.44 but it still stutters after 1 or two hours of play.
First audio stutter kicks in then the game instantly starts FPS dropping.
Bah…didn’t work for me, please fix this I want to play this new season 
Big performance issues after about 70 minutes in game - Technical Support - Last Epoch Forums
I was having same issues (in the post i detailed it).
I think i found a solution related to shader cache size, i posted step-by-step for NVIDIA and AMD. Hope can help you.
Update: Got it! look here:
“For anyone curious. Type windows key plus R. Type “services.msc” Then find windows error reporting. Right click on it and select properties. If it’s running, make it stop. If it isn’t, click on the trigger and select disabled in the drop down menu. This cleared up my problem 100 percent.”

I have the same issue as well.
Same issue, had to restart the game 68 times and il now lvl 54. Sorry, I give up. I’ll try again next season and hope that the problem is solved.
Disabling Windows Error Reporting worked for me. Thanks Broski!
