Severe Input Lag Makes PoE 2 Unplayable

Hello

Path of Exile 2 currently has a massive input lag problem for anyone who isn’t close to the servers or doesn’t have a very good internet. The game feels unresponsive and very sluggish to play

This is not a small issue. A huge part of the community is affected, and many players are being locked out of the game simply because of their location or connection quality. In PoE 1, the predictive networking mode solved this exact problem, but PoE 2 doesn't have that option. Without it, the game experience for countless players is ruined. I know predictive mode doesn't solve the bad internet and just hides the bad connection, but it makes the game 10 times smoother, for example i absolutely enjoyed poe 1 and without that option the game was unplayable.

Please treat this as a high-priority problem and tell the development team to add predictive mode into the game. Right now, a large portion of the playerbase cannot play at all and they're all waitng for predictive mode.

Thank you.
