Game performance on Europe servers is abyssmal - unplayable

Dear GGG team,

right now it is impossible for me to play POE 1. The latency spikes on the Europe server are out of this world. Even if I tune everthing possible in the game down + I have a very good PC with more then capable GPU, the game is not playable right now. Was fine two hours before, but now, no chance.

This seems to be a more common issue with the Europe servers.., isnt it ?

kind regards

This likely has not much or anything to do with your PC.

Yes its common.

See related thread: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3880399

I now play on Washington with >100 ping.

i am a telekom client in europe, their routing is dogsht.
i need to pay for a vpn to be able to play on poe. the latest thing we found against it is a program that fixes routing issues the isp has.

since we know the issue, and that the isp will most likely won't fix it, ggg would need to implement something that could fix routing somehow in the client itself. idk if that's even possible.

basically telekom doesn't give priority to cloudflare(prolly money issues) so they get bad routing which makes us have bad latency.
