Game is unplayable - Multiple WinMTR files added

Has to be related to league mechanics I think. I can run lab just fine, but maps lag out like crazy, once I get near a breach. Also specifically when I get near legion, I have to insta log out, because the latency just keeps skyrocketing.
WinMTR Files:

I’m gonna continue adding more, capturing every map now, since it's not stopping.

I have the same problem in maps, heist and lab.
Same issue, new servers,dx12/vulkan any graphics settings doesn't help.
No Fps changes just spike to 2k ping once a map starts.
hi try this

Windows -> System -> Display -> Graphics -> Custom
check if PoE is listed if not add the .EXE and set to High Performance.

i did it for loading towns but might help ya

This is standard optimizing, i have that as soon as i installed it.
It's on GGG side not on ours.
Every other game is fine and i know how to optimize my PC for Games.
I Never had any issues with PoE 1 before this League either.

Like previous league same issues, servers are totaly in depth of shit...
What a shame... nothing change, except one thing, you wont see my CC for a very very very long time.
we should convince some (ideally larger) streamer(s) to test if they create a completely new account anonymously and play on that account (off stream so it can't be identified from it, maybe even through a vpn so their ip is different from their usual one), if they experience the same issues we have and they're living in a false bubble or it's simply coincidence none of them have any similar issues atm

I tried different Servers, won't change anything, i tried changing network adapter settings, reset dns/cleaned up caches and a bunch of other CMD commands.

Went into the %AppData% Path Of Exile Folder and deleted the Minimap & Cache Folders, which helped for one map, but thaaaaan if you open the next map, you have to do it again, and again, and again. Streamers have no issues, how convenient for them.

This is the first PoE 1 League i have this issue btw, i had those issues in PoE 2 on every release, but never in PoE 1, so it has to be something to do with the recent overhaul of servers, graphics, textures or idk what it is that is causing these issues.

Please fix that.

I add my WinMTR files and will also continue to add more as time goes on. With the cache, it's generally funny that you have to clean every map, it's clearly a crutch and not a solution. And the fact that streamers have no lags doesn't mean that everything is fine with them, they just have different routes or servers. Sometimes when I read such topics, I simultaneously get stuck on different platforms like https://freeslotshub.com/ just to get distracted and relax a little, because these technical problems can be really annoying. It seems that now I can only wait for a fix or look for a more stable server manually, because it's clearly not only you who has such a story.

These links are in order of now/newest and past days:

I will add my PC Specs, i don't think it's on my end, but if it helps:

Motherboard:
ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING

Processor:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 3.80 GHz

Graphics Card:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB

RAM:
G.SKILL Aegis 32 GB

SSD:
Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB

Monitor:
1 - Asus TUF Gaming VG259 240 Fps
2 - BenQ Senseye 3 LED 60 Fps

Mouse:
Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum

Keyboard:
Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2

This has happened before in PoE, it's just that something broke after the update.
