Both games run on mostly the same code. POE2's game engine is based on POE1's code. There's even examples where POE1 features have accidentally been left in POE2, example: the POE2 anointment window prompted you to use tainted oil, an item which doesn't exist in POE2.
For performance issues, update your graphics driver, delete the game graphics cache files.
Good advice
The devs have said that all of the poe 2 engine code is being backported to poe 1. They may have already backported much of it. There is no "I can only play poe 2 because poe 1 code is bad". It's the same code.
Eh. If you've ever worked on a large software project, you would know that something of that scale could take a decade if it is is even feasible at all.
