Path of Exile 2 — Network Spikes After Patch (0.3)

bump
I'm also getting lag spikes. Played absolutely fine on 0.1, now about 50% of the instances I load into will either run fine or have unplayable lag spikes of 1000+. I can leave the instance and hop back in sometimes to roll the dice and see if it fixes, but it massively is degrading my experience and I might put the game down. It does not corelate to the Shaders and I've disabled IPv6.



Really disappointing no word from GGG on this.

EDIT: Using a VPN did fix this for me. Disabling IPv6 and doing all the other recommended network setting and shader cache fixes did not work.

still the same here
im on this train too.

figuring things out as i can:

im running Winmtr to monitor ping latency from my PC to maps server host.
looking like any other game i play no packet loss or indicative latency tanks.
but ingame occasionally lag an network spikes to 50k and far beyound.
so i got into client.txt and reading out what i can figure, noticing everytime i have a lag spike and standtill ingame. hundrets of error code lines are written into my client.txt. sometime even far exceeding 10k lines. yikes!

i made another post here https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3895918, with a copy paste of the lines client.txt notes down. if you want to post similar, or want to check winmtr what your connection looks like leave a comment there.
