PoE2 - CPU lagg spikes - possible solution

Hey guys! I'm a programmer, yet it took me a while, but here is what I found out: **Cause:** \- Lagg spikes are caused by chat. Sounds impossible? Yeah, I know, but I will explain a probable cause. \- You get spikes whenever someone sends a message and you receive it. Even when your global/trade chat is "disabled". Press F1 to see. **Solution:** \- There is no sane way to properly disable the global/trade chats. \- You need to change the channel to something that is not used. Example: /global 300 /trade 300 Additionally you can use /cls command to clear the chat log. **Underlying issue:** \- This is a guess, as I didn't really decompile the code (c'mon, I have a life) - but from my experience I would say that PoE2 chat is maintained in a main thread. So basically whenever the communication happens, the main thread just pauses for Xms, which causes the spike. **Possible solution for GGG team:** \- Move the chat logic code to a seperate thread and ensure it doesnt somehow pause the main thread. I posted it already on [PoE2 forum thread](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3786931), but I thought that it might be a good idea to spread the word, so other people can use this fix!

Wind Dancer question

Is Wind Dancer considered a "skill you use" in regard to support gems? I see some ppl using support like Energy Barrier, how does it actualy work? Does it proc while the buff is active or only during the Gale force or not at all? Does Gale Force has an "attack duration" or is it instant?

Game stuck on load screen PS5

Is anyone else's game getting stuck on loading screen? I can't play the game since last night, I've used simulacrum, clicked on the portal and this is where it all began, I've logged out and back in - same, changed character, went back to main, still same, logged out for the night. I've logged back in today my simulacrum portal is gone, entry is also gone, so I've opened another one, this time it allowed me to go in, but I couldn't leave after finishing the run, now I can load any of my characters. TLDR my game is Gate keeping me from playing, stuck in loading screen on all characters.

I rarely use chance orbs but i got this as my first unique

Are Twilight Reliquary Keys meant to be MORE rare than Divine Orbs?

My group and I have started to speculate that we are getting screwed out of divine orbs every time these reliquary keys drop, and that the divine orb is upgrading to a Twilight Reliquary key because we possibly have our rarity too high? It would be pretty damn stupid if we’re being punished for that, nerfing a drop worth 600+ exalts into one worth about 10. It seems especially noticeable in the cleansed areas when we have the additional rarity… we just cannot drop divines in those particular areas but it’s RAINING reliquary keys. We roll with 4-5 people, our rarity guy with the presence and the gloves has 466% rarity, and the maps are all quant/double rarity, and so we’ve started to speculate that we are actually above a certain threshold where we get upgraded to what is considered the “more rare” drop. The obelisk that adds +rarity used to always get us excited, but it seems like it just results in the keys 🤣 Same thing with the few occasions when we hit the covetus shrines and charge around with extra +rarity from that only to drop keys instead of divs! We’ve gotten 80 reliquary keys lately, and in those maps maybe 80 raw div as well. So these super juiced maps seem like they might actually be pushing us over a certain threshold and “UPGRADING” our divine orbs into useless keys, which would be hilarious and worth a look at restructuring from GG. ***It also seems that since we stopped running the double rarity waystones that have over 100 rarity and instead only quant plus more monsters we are dropping way more div and not seeing the keys as much anymore.
