Ive been having troubles with fps playing LE. At start up the fps is over 100 then when I go to actually play any map, the fps drops down to below 30. I have my comp info:
AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS with Radeon Graphics
16gb ram
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU
I have to verify integrity after an hour of play every time. I googled and read up that certain builds make the fps go down. My main character is Mage Runemaster and the fps is so bad. But i also tried my paladin and spellblade to see if the fps is the same and it is!
Any help would be great. Im running out of ideas on how to fix this fps issue. My Runemaster is so much fun but i get pissed cuz the fps is low… not enjoyable.
Help!
Cheers

Pretty sure verifying integrity of files does nothing to your fps. You should always diagnose the reason for dropping FPS first. You download MSI Afterburner or other software that can measure system load, and check CPU load, GPU load, memory usage and frame times during the time you see the slowdowns/stuttering.
This video shows how to install MSI Afterburner and set it up in the second half.
Below are some generic tips that have helped others:
Graphics settings:
Set Volumetric Lighting to Very Low
Set Shadows Quality to Very Low
Other graphics settings may have an impact too, but smaller. There’s this nice video showing them in action and recommending some settings:
Set Process Affinity for Last Epoch and uncheck CPU 0.
If you do this from windows task manager, you have to redo this every time you launch the game. Use a 3rd party tool like Process Lasso to make it permanent.
This is done so that Last Epoch doesn’t use the first CPU core which is usually the most used one by Windows and other apps running in the background.
INTEL users also need to check which cores are their P-cores, then you need to check the P-cores. You can also try to uncheck E-cores.
Set Process Priority to High.
Pretty straightforward, this makes it so your CPU does calculations for the game instead of Windows tasks and other background apps. (screenshot is example, you want to target LastEpoch.exe obviously).
Laptop special - make sure the game uses your dedicated GPU
Laptops with two GPUs should automatically choose your better GPU for gaming, but sometimes they don’t, so go to NVIDIA control panel and make sure that LastEpoch.exe is using your NVIDIA GPU:
