Lag spikes
|
Having the same issue as so many others for months and since you, GGG, decide to ignore this, I’ll give this another shot here out of desperation: every few seconds the latency spikes from the normal range of about 30ms to multiple hundred ms and back, causing the game to freeze and stutter and make it unplayable. This is the only game that behaves that way. I triple checked my own internet connection, tried literally ALL potential fixes proposed and ALL graphic settings - nothing works. Even setting networking to predictive in the settings file does not work - in POE1 this in game setting at least made it playable. Guys I think people with this issue either deserve back their money or real support from you. This is a game/server issue and it exists for a long time already. Please listen to your player base and fix this.

" Hey, when you say "playable" does that mean you still encounter these network ping spikes in poe1? " If the issue you're experiencing is a connection issue then when you're having these unstable ping spikes please follow the instructions below in the spoiler.
WinMTR
This is what GGG recommends: Ensure to do this when the lag, high ping, packet loss, or connection issues are happening. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1377789 After running this test per the instructions please link the URL of the pastebin back here The instructions are the same for PoE2, just locate the file in the appropriate installation folder. |

" I am referring to POE2 EA here. After setting the network setting to „predictive“ in POE1, the problem was mostly gone. Something that POE2 does not allow, and altering the settings file manually did not bring any success. WinMTR output: https://pastebin.com/0V8nRJ6A |
