insanly high ping

heya so im having a bit of a issue iv tried to figure it out on my own sadly no luck.
i play on au servers so i normly sit around 60ms but im not sure whats been going on if the servers are hamster ran or what but the moment i touch a breach or legion my ping goes from 60 to 3k to 5k to 10k to 15k and keeps goin up to the point its unplayable by this i mean im literly stuck teleporting and dying on the spot.would love to find a fix for this or hell would love some dam answers

things iv done
1.deleted cache
2.deleted shaders for poe and steam
3.turned of shader download in steam
4.moved game from 1 m.2 to another m.2
5. tried changing from AU to NZ both are around 65ping still does the exact same thing regardless
6.reset router
7.closed down any background applications no effect
8.Hell i even paid for exit lag to connect directly to see if that will stop the insanly outrages ping spikes for literly 0 reason
9.constantly monitored fps/ping through this process fps dosnt drop below 70fps even when im getting teleported back and fourth like a yoyo
10.messed around with lockstep and predictive this literly has done nothing to
fix or improve the situation
11.set all setting to low does nothing
12 oh also ran virus scans maleware scans hell even ran ccleaner lol
..................................................
id love to figure this out why cuz id love to play the game like i have previously done in the past
honestly iv never experianced anything like this before in any other game just cuz i purely interacted with a league mechanic my ping then goes to complete HOrse ****
if anyone else has any other ideas to try please let me know as its getting to the point im just going to delete PoE and give up on the game entirely

Same Issue here Mate
Same as you. Now 200ms ping spike seems to be normal. When I interact with ritual, I sometimes get 5-30k ping spike.

It is not your system. It is GGG server issue. I know there were times when this was due to high trafic or some players put extreme high load on the server due to some mechanics combination.
Same Day 3 with the Issue now, still completly unplayable, i guess this league is over for me competitors of yours startet a league that works fine for me and i finally get the retention rate of this league.

Sad because i would prefer playing this league but not with disconnects every 5 seconds, i cant even finish a map with my autobomber because i dont have enough portals for the disconnects....
thank you everyone for posting im glad im not crazy or going insane its why i listed everything that i had done if that is the case and it is the servers then that is kinda concerning for future leagues its just so sad this is such a dam fun league but yet the servers cant handle even with most people stopping due to this issue and then if thats the case then where is all this money going to from sales and the expensive microtransactions i mean surely you would think it would be used to stabilize a the server right????such a shame i took a break after kings league and come back to the servers basicly devouring itself 95% of the mechanics are unplayable i can accept some lag ya know at the start of a league cuz everyone is playing but its been dying off so shouldnt the servers be getting better or are the servers just that messed up. would love to hear from the support people to why this is a issue when it really shouldnt be
me too , either ping increased or spike then disconnect
6 portal lose in about 10 min
it happen since they " promise it'll never happen again "
yeah , cause it worse than that
so GGG.

Its not about you. Its About GGG. servers are lagging for 2 days. but they dont care because its not poe2. They really dont care. i did everything like you and even posted on X , and in this forum. But they didnt care.
after 3 hours
Still servers has bad ping... 2 days. they even didnt try to move a finger.
