"Not Responding" on the first load screen and item image delays

Whenever I start PoE I get the "Not Responding" quote in the upper left part and the first load screen feels like an eternity. When I do log in, the item's images/pictures are delayd. This is frustrating when every single item's image is delayed like that. It takes a good 20 seconds or so to get rid of it... This hasn't happened to me before 3.3.0 ever!

I am having a similar issue.

Use --noasync launch option.

async (asynchronous) means, the client is allowed to load assets while you're able to run already.

the opposite (nosaync) means, you can't do anything until the client has finished loading the assets, this is recommended if you have stuttering after entering a new area.

item images showing up slowly after a new area simply mean a slow harddisk bad network connection or the server delivering data slowly because of technical issues or client's procesor load

press f1 ingame to check your latency or do a winmtr to your server ip you got from your logfile.

Bullshit. Images is not transferring thru the network, they loads-up from the disk as other game assets. Due to some sort of bugs (GC-related?) or basically poor threading code this is not very efficient in asynchronous I\O mode - loading thread is slow AND consumes a lot of CPU time on some systems. This results in a problems like OP have - inventory items shows up VERY slow. On top of that, async mode is still have problems with aggressive garbage collection - -gc 1 is not working, if you try to use this option - assets will not show up at all! Meanwhile with -gc 2 some images may stay black until you are not restart the client, loading thread will stuck in some sort of endless loop. I'v reported this problem after 3.0 is released.. still not fixed.

Currently there is only two solutions: --noasync or SSD disk.
