Lag spikes

There is a major problem with lag spikes in POE2.

I'm from a GMT+2 timezone. During the day, starting in the morning till about 7 pm, the game runs smoothly. From about 7 PM till late in the night, the game runs like trash. Lag spikes galore. And this is regardless of the server I pick.

Fix this issue. It is unplayable in the evening!

EU has always had this problem in both PoE1 and PoE2 and it will never ever go away.

GGG knows that the problem is the horrible routing and server providers they chose to use in EU, not some fucking garbage excuse about having their servers DDOS'd.

Move to NA/Texas to not have those issues.
Its not only EU unfortunately, had SO many rips to this it's annoying af
this is not EU specific, its effecting a lot of people globally

it's getting pretty sad that a company of the calibre of GGG still has not addressed this problem, its been happening since launch

I really love the game and want to play it more, but the constant lag spikes are miserable. I get better network performance from a WoW private server in EU from west coast NA, it's pathetic.
EU player here. Lag is particularly bad today. Tried all EU servers. Tried at 9am too hardly peak time.

I'm not one for hyperbole but its borderline unplayable and worse than at the free weekend.

Guess Ill try again at 0.4
10 hours and I'm at the end of the first act. That's how bad it's been in socal. I'm typically sub 20 ping. I played an hour on launch. Unplayable. Waited until monday and it's not really any better and this is early campaign. Hadn't played since Jan 30. Perf and Networking has definitely taken a nose dive since. Almost a week in and nothing. Abyss is cool but holy ram leak and compute-tastrophie. Wasn't tested at all. The Hype was real, real short.
Different day, same bs. Runs smoothly during the day, but is dogshit in the evening.
Has anyone found a solution for this? It seems the developers don't realy give a toss about it.
