Constantly stuttering after hotfix [POE2]

My game is constantly stuttering after the hotfix, actually unplayable. The FPS and CPU are running really nicely through the F1 numbers but I see some network spikes. But moreover, this only happens when im close to enemy monsters. My character stutter walks and then i zoom across the screen. I never changed my settings so something broke during the hotfix.

This is for POE 2

I am having the same issue where my character studder steps around mobs like the game is being paused and unpaused really quickly. I was using the same setting I use yesterday without issue.

I have tried changing the settings and lower the gfx but the issue persists.

I am also having this exact issue, I get close to anything in my map and start getting extreme latency, everything turns into a slideshow-
7800X3d and a 3090

same issue on ps5 after the patch.

Me and my girlfriend seem to be getting this when we play. It seems to be really bad for her when she joins my town instance. We experimented a bit and seems when she enters a zone first, her stuttering is gone, but my latency goes up by 30ms, but actually feels smoother.

I start experiencing bad stuttering where the game mini freezes, which in multiplayer obviously doesn't pause the game.

I played some HC afterwards and I had absolutely no issues with stuttering.

We are both playing on South African servers. It's almost as if we are talking to different servers with a delay between them.
