How to install (3 minutes):

1. Download BepInEx 5 (win x64 zip) and extract it into the game folder (Steam: right-click the game - Manage - Browse local files).
2. Download DXVK (github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases) and copy d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll from its x64 folder into the game folder. The fix is meant to be used together with DXVK: on plain DX11 it is not smooth.
3. Start the game once, then quit at the main menu.
4. Download DeadfireStutterFix.dll from the GitHub Releases page and put it in BepInEx\plugins.
5. Play.
6. To uninstall, delete DeadfireStutterFix.dll (and d3d11.dll + dxgi.dll for DXVK).

What it fixes:

• Garbage collector freezes in fights (100-170 ms each)
• Corpse colliders built mid-fight (22-44 ms per corpse)
• Combat tooltips piling up with every reload
• The ~100 ms freeze in the first fight after launching the game

Got this weapon drop from the Sul boss encounter. I presume its a bug, lol. Does anyone know is there a better two-handed weapon in the game?

Hello, I'm fairly new to the games, but I recently completed PoE1 and started the second on.

The revelation in the ending was amazing, but I have some questions: since the gods are an artificial creation who or what created Eora? I don't remember seeing or reading creation myths, and also how did the various races came to be ?

Excluding the god-like who of course came later (and I have some theories about them, but I'll see if they are true in Deadfire, since I'm a seeing a lot of content regarding them in the game), how did elfs, dwarves, orlans and humans appeared? It doesn't seems like there was a more ancient race between them; the Engwithan was not a singular race empire, but it was multi-races from my understanding.

Are there some answers that I missed? Are they in Deadfire? Or simply we don't know? If so I would like to hear your theories.

I had to respec one of my companions to beat Best of Winter and now I'm wondering what would be an ultimate build to casually strip concentration stacks and interrupt whatever the boss is trying to do?
