Early Access Bug Reports - PoE 2 Latency Spikes? - Forum

Started experiencing this yesterday and it continued today. Worked fine friday/saturday. I basically can't play the game. I log in, I try 10 different servers, find one that works, enter map and have to start over. This is absolutely unacceptable.	Posted by Muk1995#3022 on Sep 1, 2025, 4:53:59 AM Quote this Post
Hey all! Just wanting to share that I switched from wifi to ethernet and it fixed my issue for me. Not saying it will for you, but I have not experienced at all since switching tonight. The game was absolutely becoming unplayable for me before, but now it's running perfectly. Good luck!	Posted by FknPitsy#6283 on Sep 1, 2025, 10:24:33 AM Quote this Post
I have spikes in network after 0.3.0 patch. The metrics spikes from 60ms to 300-400 and back every 2-3 seconds. Found a workaround that temporarily fixes the issue and returns me to a stable network values: exit to character selection and load back in. It works smoothly until you leave a location (TP to town/hideout) or die. Then you need to repeat.

" Jonononononononononono#3822 wrote: hey so we were having the same issue with latency spiking randomly causing the game to lag. Saw someone mention about changing the wifi settings and heres what we did: we went into 1. Device manager 2. Device properties on the WiFI card eg Intel Wi-Fi 6 3. then advanced tab, 4. then under property select the 802.11a/b/g Wireless Mode 5. Then we changed that from Dual band a/b/g to just 5GHz 802.11a (which was at the top) 6. Click ok and start the game its working perfectly now for us! woo hoo This worked for me surprisingly. Thanks.

Gentlemen, hello everyone! Found a solution: In Settings, go to the Sound tab and change "Channel Count" to Low! I tried a bunch of things, but this helped!	Posted by neverFearr#6295 on Sep 3, 2025, 6:03:45 AM Quote this Post

How are we into the 3rd major patch, 9 months since EA launch, and the abysmal netcode for this game is still not addressed? Constant 1k+ ping spikes are unacceptable, please acknowledge and make it a high priority to fix	Posted by slimatic84#5839 on Sep 5, 2025, 1:06:39 AM Quote this Post

Dunno why it works, but this actually helped me after trying 12 different things last night xD	Posted by SlashRist#1091 on Sep 5, 2025, 10:18:45 AM Quote this Post
The game is unplayable no matter which EU server is chosen since yesterday. The network latency goes into seconds. This is clearly GGG server issue and they are not communicating it with us. Maybe they are clueless and lack proper observability ? Last edited by piotrkun#1656 on Sep 5, 2025, 10:40:15 AM	Posted by piotrkun#1656 on Sep 5, 2025, 10:31:25 AM Quote this Post
