Insane lag spike 3.27

Hello,

This has never happened before, but during this league I'm getting lag spikes when I am in an instance, this doesn't happen when being in town. This lag keeps going like this until I walk around for about 30 seconds - 1 minute and it goes away, but if I just stand there without doing anything, it just keeps spiking non-stop like in the video.

It's unbearable because it starts spiking at random times and I don't want this to happen when I am killing mobs, which happened several times now.

Edit: In additional of spikes not happening in town, I also noticed that I never get spikes in hideout and any other instances not involving league mechanics

Edit 2: Part 1 of campaign was enough to just walk around for 30s to 1min for ping spikes to go away, BUT Part 2 of campaign is straight up unbearable to play, even walking around doesn't make ping spikes go away, can't even progress part 2 of campaign normally, I always "teleport" to death

Edit 3: To "fix lag" in part 2 of campaign, I have to die to mobs so I don't have lag spikes afterwards, imagine doing that in HC mode, this is stupid.

Same thing happend to 3/4 members of my friend group. I personaly lost 2 maps pureley to lag spikes leading to a disconnect. 2 friends are still in campaign and are lagging for a minute or 2 and then disconnecting in their zones aswell. We are playing on EU servers and we tried different gateways.
Same here! Please GGG, get your s....ervers together!

TS, you are not alone... Will not play anymore before fix.
same problem here cpu and latency running wild nonstop
Yep, same here.

sometimes the latency spikes directly after entering or abit later in the map.

heres a video I recorded where you can exactly see, that getting closer to the breach (dont know if thats a relation there, as it happend aswell if there wasnt one visible on screen) the lag increases and potentionally crashes back to the main menu and normalizes itself when going away.

link to the video (uploaded on discord, for some reason it wants to download the file instead of viewing in the browser):

at the moment I literally cant play in maps at all.
Mostly issue happens when touching league mechanic

back to minecraft for this league if its not patched
Zero testing of the new league, keep it up GGG — best devs as always!
Same here. It's just incredible how garbage it is... FIX YOUR F* GAME GGG!
Sorry GGG, but I can't play this game at all, it was already unbearable to play campaigns till maps due to lags, but if I have to play every map with insane lag spikes and die every time and losing XP, virtually making 0 progress due to not being able to level up properly, I'd rather quit this game, which I am going to do so until I see lag fix.
