How to Clear Cache

While clearing Path of Exile’s cache periodically, this button can be used on demand to attempt to troubleshoot issues that may be due to invalid files, or if the cache grows too large.

The ‘Clear Cache’ button will clear out several temporary storage locations that Path of Exile uses for things like downloaded images and graphics shaders. After clearing cached shaders your client performance will be temporarily degraded while the client regenerates the shaders it needs. For this reason we recommend only using ‘Clear Cache’ as a last resort when troubleshooting a crash or other graphical problem, or if the size of the caches has become a problem.

If you are experiencing any new crashes outside of this action and you’re using Vulkan, please try switching to ‘Medium’ texture quality. If you’re still crashing after that, we recommend switching to DX11 in your options.
