Why does youtube crackle and pause when loading or intense fights?
So I normally watch YouTube while playing, and this normally isn't an issue for other games or Path of Exile 1, but with Path of Exile 2, when I load a new area or open a box that spawns waves of enemies or even in some boss fights like the end of Act 1 boss, the game lags. My YouTube videos' audio also makes crackles or even pauses/freezes.
Not sure what the cause is or why it's only Path of Exile 2 doing it, but yeah, Path of Exile 2 interferes with the other stuff somehow. Zuletzt angestoßen am 27.07.2025, 17:11:54

PoE2 is a very demanding game for systems, even maxed out rigs. There is a common thread of thought that "other games dont do this" so PoE2 shouldn't. "Other games" are a poor benchmark to rate "other games" by and that line of thought has many issues.
This is a link to good breakdown that can help you educate yourself on issues you may be facing and possible solutions. https://www.hollyland.com/blog/tips/youtube-lagging-when-playing-games |
