Severe Lag After Patch 0.3.0

Ever since updating to Patch 0.3.0 for Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict, I’ve been experiencing heavy lag in-game.

My FPS is stable around 70, and my ping is about 14ms, so performance metrics look fine on paper. But the game feels choppy and almost unplayable.

Has anyone else run into this since the update?
Did you find any workaround or fix for it?

This is getting really frustrating.

game plays like ass. Just keep getting lag spikes.

constant lag spikes right now.

its never been this bad for me.

i know they are busy right now getting the patch ready but it would be nice if they can at LEAST acknowledge the issue.

You do understand that 0.3.0 has not been released yet?

I do agree that hopefully GGG is going to resolve performance issues, hence the weekend stress test after 0.3.0 is launched.

Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.
