The shader issue needs to be resolved....

I have 2 1Tb drives installed in my computer, somewhat complete specs as listed...

OS Windows 10
MSI Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 3600x 6-core
Nvidia 4080 ti
DDR4 x 4 64 gb a piece
2 - 1Tb memory SSD's

Today marks the third time this league that POE 2 has COMPLETELY filled 1 of my two 1 Tb drives. This is directly linked to the shaders of this game.

The first time, it took me 2 hours to figure out why upon booting up Poe 2 Discord was crashing along with any other memory using program on the SSD. I finally found that POE 2 shaders were directly responsible for this, cleared the cache, verfied files on steam, had to redownload the game, moved on with my life.

The second time, Looked at files due to discord crash... Shaders are filled again. This came one week after league launch. Deleted every file and program off of the drive POE 2 was installed on. I figured what are the odds it fills up a Tb.

Well, here I am, less than 2-3 weeks later with 1 Tb FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH SHADER FILES ONLY. This is completely unacceptable. I get this is early access, but how is a game playable if I need to purge a 1 Tb SSD, verify steam files, and redownload the game every few weeks. It honestly feels like work in order to play this game some times.

I wish the Devs would give POE 1 the diablo 3 treatment and use the extra time to polish this game. Poe 1 will always have a special place in my heart, but this is an improvement in a lot of ways as long as the effort is put into it. Right now I dont see that. I see a game that's base issues are never fully resolved and expansions are just haphazardly released to appease the masses...

Rant aside, fix the shaders. Its been a problem since release and its only getting worse.... 1 Tb every few weeks worse.
