Huge Network Spikes - Washington, DC & Texas (East Coast US)


For the past few days I've experienced major network lag spikes making the game unplayable. I have been playing fairly consistently since league launch with no issues. I want to say it started near Gauntlet league launch (which I did not play) - but just chalked it up to busy launch rush. However this is still continuing.

Here is my output using WinMTR. I get similar results using tracert as well.

ISP issue ? PoE server issue ? I launched up PoE 2 and I get similar results with that. I however don't have any other games installed to test out latency, but will look into that.

Figured I would post, since a few folks have posted similar situations.

Thanks for your attention to this important matter.

If you're having issues with constant lag, spiky lag, or disconnections, please create a new thread and in your post there both explain the specific problem you're having, and include a link to a WinMTR log on Pastebin. GGG has a step-by-step guide for WinMTRs which you can find here.

It's not fair to the OP to show up a month later and seek to hijack their thread. This thread exists for them and people attempting to help them. It doesn't exist for you.
