I really liked the game and after almost 140 hours I'm really angry that Endgame is unplayable for me due to latency and a lot of stumbling. Why should I stay up at dawn to finally be able to play properly?
GGG!!! What's going on? Network latency can be a horrible 1000ms sometimes, but on average it's 200-300. It's a joke. I understand that many other patches are needed, but guys... THIS should be fixed. If it can be played at any time of the day, then all other crap items can work. But this is nonsense... (EU server) Last edited by CheekLac#4048 on Jun 9, 2025, 1:16:02 PM

Since the deployment of patch 0.2.1, I’ve been experiencing significant CPU latency spikes, especially when the game is attempting to download shaders. These spikes are particularly noticeable during the initial load of a map, when mobs are spawning. The issue becomes more severe with highly juiced maps the more modifiers and effects present, the worse the lag.
Interestingly, this problem seems to worsen during peak hours (evening to midnight), and then gradually improves past midnight, likely as player traffic decreases. This pattern makes me suspect the root cause might be related to server-side bottlenecks rather than a client-side performance issue. I’ve tested this across the three closest servers to my location: Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. Unfortunately, all three regions exhibit the same issue consistently. I hope this feedback helps the development team in identifying the cause. Please let me know if any further information (e.g., logs or system specs) would assist in the investigation. Thank you for your continued hard work! |

" Any update? I am Malaysia player who connected to Singapore, Hong Kong or Japan server as well. I played during 0.1, while night time could be laggy but still be tolerable somehow. I skipped 0.2, returning to the game these 2 days to see how is the server performance before 0.3 release and I realize all servers are just unplayable with crazy ping spike and constant rubberbanding that make the game totally unplayable. What happened seriously? If 0.3 update the server still behave the same I think I can just uninstall the game already. I don't have perfect Internet, on Wifi, but I play other online games such as Dota 2 and Valorant without any issue at stable 15-20 ping. In POE 2 now my ping spike from 5ms to 100+ 200+ or even more every second. Something wrong seriously. I tried to google a lot to troubleshoot but nothing helps. |

![]() Same issue, happens at night. Been playing fine for hours, now every time it spikes my screen freezes for half a second, sometimes more. Gigabit Ryzen 7900x FXF 6900XT Merc319 32GB DDR5 Hardwired connection. Closest to Texas Gateway. |

Unplayable. I can play any game consistently in ping but not PoE2? I paid for one of the best ISP services for business. Fix this please GGG.

I'm experiencing the same.
Posted about this months ago when I played at launch. Only just returned yesterday and I'm saddened to see this is still the case. Mine will sometimes spike/freeze for about 10 seconds and then catch up. But more often than not, it will continuously spike all the way up to 100k + and never catch up. I have to quit out and come back in. This needs to be addressed and fixed. It's making it absolutely unplayable. I'm more than willing to assist with any sort of troubleshooting, or feedback if we could just get some sort of response on this. I love this game... this is just making it absolutely unplayable though, and starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth. Especially frustrating when I'm playing with mates and they're constantly having to wait for me. |
