Network issue is back - POE 2 EA game is currently unplayable

Game was running fine until this afternoon prior to release of the 3 new patches. Now the network performance issues are back. Just standing in town Network metric is anywhere between 20ms - over 200ms.

This is causing stutters, lags, freezes followed by insane speed mode when the client catches up with the server I assume.

I know this is not always a simple thing to fix but please please please make this a priority. I can't play the game or give any feedback when it is in this state and I'm not always going to have the time to play after Christmas

i have somethig strange in poe2 i stay in hideout have 5ms ping... but when join on map, most of time have 50 ms ping... and unplayible stutters. sometimes map have 5 ms ping...

it makes people angry... GGG must fix networking! That high priority issue!

I literally scared to play maps, or join any towns ( like act 3 loading )... i bought x2 early access but i cant enjoy or normal explore this game like poe1.

I hope they working about it...

A hour ago enormous constant lag spikes began varying from few milliseconds to few seconds. But only in maps. In town no lag at all, ping rock solid. Tried different servers. EU.

Are you crying about 50ms??? my stable ms in all games is 80 because all servers are in EU and I'm not, those are the closest ones lol.
I am right there with you man. my game keeps crashing and it bricks my pc its rough.
I have not been able to lay the game since patch 3 because of lag. I have tried US servers even though i am in EU. I have also tried creating new instances of the maps, but ping goes from 50 ms to seconds ... totally unplayable
Got same problem with network lag last two days. Constant lag spikes which makes the game unplayable. Tried changing all possible settings in game, graphic driver settings, network settings, different servers...but nothing helps. Got no issues with any other games.
Same here. Aussie servers are unplayable right now. Game is in complete slow motion. All network and hardware diagnostic on my end are working perfectly. The moment i join a map, the game is bricked.

When will this get solved? I'm literally confined to my hideout.
So frustrating.


PC - Steam - standalone client -
Yes the lag is terrible and it is making the experience in Act 2 very annoying and unpleasant.
yea and if we swap to other zones soon as we go to map it forces back to aus server with the unplayable lag
