That sounds more like latency spikes, which can happen on third party nodes during your routing to the game server.

I would suggest that you note down the IP of the server you are connected to, then try change your gateway, quit the game, start back in and auto-select or select your normal gateway to see if you get on a different server.

I've been able to fix this kind of latency spike in the past week this way, although sometimes I have to repeat it twice to get on a new server.

You could also confirm it using tracert when you are experiencing these latency spikes.

Ping stays fine during the pauses. I see spikes in memory, shader, and drive usage on the poe2 graph during the events. I had 32gb of ram, and my ssd's are only about 40% full, and less than 6 months old. I did notice it gets way worse if I use the scourge weapon skin. I have a rtx 4090, so I have GPU power, and intel 13900HX.
