EU Servers are still absolutely terrible and no one's playing... Imagine in 1 week...

Just logged in to check on my PoE2 account, update / optimize some settings & to my surprise, London, Frankfurt & Amsterdam are all spiking at 300-400ms every second.

I tried to play until one of them just spiked to 9999ms and crashed the game.

I'm running 1gbps ethernet connection, 5800x and an rt4070...

If this keeps up, it won't be pretty next week.

If you watch the videos they made in interviews they explain the problemis they are being DDOSED .. That means that some POE2 haters are so spiteful that they are trying to ruin your experience. There is only so much you can do to go around that and probably it will involve disabling SOME severs that they cannot protect.

I saw what they said. They also said they had mostly solved it by removing servers which were incapable of handling DDOS attacks...

That's not what's happening tho. There's no one playing & the servers are already on the brink of crashing.
I don't think anyone is wasting resources to run a months-spanning DDOS on GGG. Days? Yeah, two weeks tops, not months.
I believe not every issue had to do with DDOS. They also said some issues were due to bad routing. It's either an issue with ur ISP or the server itself.

Hard to say how widespread the issue is right now, I guess we will see at launch.
At least for me, I didn't have any issues for almost 2 months now. I even played PoE2 the last couple of days without any hickups. (Frankfurt Server)

Wow. Weird. If you haven't had any issues, how come I have, if on the same server? I tried all of the EU ones, all were the same.
I think I gave u the answer for that to happen. Obviously I can't know the exact problem, but it could be a routing issue from ur ISP to the specific servers.

For example, if no matter what server u choose, ur ISP routes through a certain backbone everytime and that one causes problems, u will have issues everytime.

Every other game is running perfectly smooth. I have no issues in any other game, only PoE2 so ISP is fine. Not sure about what might be causing it in POE2 tbh.

Yeah because it's an issue between the ISP and PoEs servers. Obviously that doesn't happen with other games because they don't connect to those.

I'm not a network engineer, so I can't really say why it's happening more in PoE than it is in other games. I had issues like that in other games before tho, when PoE ran perfectly fine. (probably some network structure thing)
