TEXTURES NOT LOADING PoE 2 0.4

Yup, can confirm that not fixed yet on my Ally ROG X, BUT, it seems to work better. I can manage to get textures to load outside of the town, relatively often even when switching areas (once again if town is avoided). Inside towns, textures break in a couple of seconds even if it worked right after loading screen.

FYI, the woraround that I am using is the one that I've already discussed by changing the display from my main screen to the second screen and back. It is extremely impractical and can lead to your game stopping from time to time.

For those that are using nvidia GPUs I might have found a potential solution, try this:

on steam go to poe2 properties and paste in __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=10737418240 %command%. This increases disk cache size to 10gb. This is what i did and i been playing for an hour since doing this and haven't run into the issue again

For AMD users this will not work

Please let others know if this has resolved your issue as this might lead to a potential fix for everyone

Have a lovely day y'all!

Edit: until I teleported to town
No way of playing with DX12 w AMD so far.

only Vulkan works.

DX11 - it's even worse than DX12
should be removed from list since is deprecated.

and to let you known, even with Vulkan there is a lot
os missing textures or crazy textures.

There is no FIX or whatsoever so far.

:((((((((

Vulkan is unusable on my Ally X, loadtimes are virtually infinite.

I have played about 4h without getting the bug a single time on DX12, for now.
I haven't changed gaming behavior (didn't wait for shaders or anything)

EDIT : Nevermind it literally just happened LMAO. I was in MTX menu, I exited, there was a black screen cogwheel for loading, I moved by pressing wasd like a retard during that loading, at the end of the loading texture were all fucked up.

I have the same problem. When I change the renderer it works, but after a few minutes it fails again. I've cleared the shader cache from the game and even from the graphics card, and I've tried DirectX and Vulkan, but nothing solves the problem.

AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS
24 GB DDR 5

Same problem here.
Xbox Series X

Problem isn't fixed fully, I still have issue with textures

hey guy! well it's was good for 1hour. and then it's back again i don't know anymore i tried everything .. i just would like to see at least my item the graphic at the stage i don't really care anymore but at least give me the item please

Since the begginig of the new league, like ALOT of people, i was having the texture problem. We waited for days and finally, after the 0.4.0 hotfix, the problem seemed to have disappeared. But after the 0.4.0b patch notes, it came back even worse along with fps issues.
