RangerRick 16 Report post Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) What builds have you guys been finding successful lately? I read that channeled spells don't work well, which seems odd, as I was thinking a solid lifesteal melee build should be good. I'm also having poor performance trying to run PoE in VMware, I've given it plenty of hardward(3gb ram, 4 cores on a 9900k with sli 1070Ti) so I'm not sure what the issue is. I've read half a dozen stickied posts but haven't gotten far with VMware, I'm in IT so I think it's dialed in, I've never had to maximize 3d performance though.. Stay safe exiles.

I think it's available on vsphere, but I don't have another PC right now to run as a hypervisor, although I have parts on the way, 3950x and a 3900x build for other home servers as well. I've been meaning to virtualize all my stuff for years, but haven't had the time or real determination until my time suddenly freed up. (hope y'all are staying safe) If someone could share how they're managing their setups I'd be very appreciative. Even with the game struggling to run at 30fps the bot actually did alright last night so I'm impressed. Although somehow it swapped to my secondary weapons slot(x keybind..) and appeared to be killing mobs with flame dash for awhile 21 hours ago, Laber59 said: Or use poe smoother On sc you can play.... anything On HC High defences, single skill + auras + buffs(golems) + one special attack If u really need to + movement skill Is it mandatory for VMware botting? I'm struggling to get 30fps, in town(The Forest Encampment) it's anywhere from 8-40fps and only slightly better when I step outside. I noticed when I run in full screen mode the game preforms MUCH better, steady 60fps even with the game at 1920x1080... not sure why that would be which is what makes me think this is just some configuration I need to set. Build wise Do you have a suggestion? I was thinking Righteous Fire, but I'm not sure how well that would work with the bot? I've attached a picture of my setup. You'll notice the fps I'm getting are jumping all over the place, part of me thinks it could be related to SLI... but breaking the SLI is likely to cause me more problems at this point. NOTE: My graphics settings are all at default still, I don't want to turn them down, I've tried and it made no difference, I actually saw a slight drop in frames somehow.

I've always used vsphere by using a server/computer as a hypervisor and managing it from another computer with vcenter.. I've used the programs at work I just didn't think they could be installed and utilized on a single Windows 10 computer.

I have the following iso downloads from their site: VMware vCenter Server Appliance VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi ISO) image (Includes VMware Tools) VMware vCenter Server and modules for Windows I'm guessing the last or first one? As the hypervisor is for a bare metal server.. Your English isn't bad, don't worry about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I'm hearing it doesn't improve performance enough to be worth even using, my problem doesn't appear to be capability but instead compatability. I have parts on order for a true decent(3950s ) hypervisor, I'm also going to try installing on a very basic (G3930 or something) intel based system with a cheap vid card and see how that performs. 3 minutes ago, poefan said: Nono that it's just explication video, I tried to find one video but no luck yesterday xD Oh lol doh, well let me know what you find! I'm very tech savvy, I just need to know installation method essentially, I use all the vmware products at work, but I'm a network engineer by trade. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RangerRick 16 Report post Posted March 29, 2020 UPDATE: Disabling full screen optimizations appears to have given me a slight boost in FPS, maybe.. You can do this via right clicking the .exe and properties -> compatibility -> Disable fullscreen optimizations Oof pre post edit: nevermind I think it's worse somehow.
