Ps5 PoE 2 lag issues

I lag to. Something it happen every minute. Make me annoying.

After todaya poe2 update with huntress lightning buff I have started to lag everywhere, doesnt matter what I do. Change visual aetting, change the latency, change the upscale still lags and I really cant proceed with campaign as I cant get past the boss with these lags, cmon GGG do something with it, I can move around or stand still constatnly got "GAME PAUSED" notification and sometimes even it kicks me out to main menu even during boss fight, maps or whatever i do.

I really enjoy POE2 but stuff like this puts me away. Before the update everything was fine no issue at all...

To me it seems like there’s a decent number of replies conflating the two different types of “lag”. From what I understand the majority of people here are after a fix to latency and network issues while some are calling for support on FPS issues.

Personally I’m not seeing any FPS issues when running the game on my PS5. However I am seeing unstable latency when in map instances– but not encampments!

I’ve have attempted some of the fixes mentioned:
- Lock into an close region
– Use an Ethernet cable

But I’ve also attempted:
- Disable cross play

Unfortunately neither of these have worked. As others have mentioned it just seems like PoE2 is poorly equipped in hardware and cannot handle the influx of players during peak times.

I don’t believe there’s a software patch to solve this but instead scaling up the infrastructure— which depending on if they’re using bare metal might take longer than some third party hosted solutions such as AWS EC2.

Hopefully it’ll get sorted but it is pretty much unplayable at the moment which is a shame.

It wasn't like this a few months ago. I wonder if it's the updates or just the sheer number of players.

Having high ping in a game is so 90s. I have a 600Mb connection (lan cable). Game is unplayable.
