Have exact same problem, just failed 4th ascendancy to a spike. I've started playing again this season, never really had an issue with latency before, now, about last 7 days, the game is close to unplayable. From what I saw in the discussions and reddit there's no solution on the user side. Play something else and check randomly later if it works smooth I guess. This issue gives poe2 very bad look.

Can someone explain to me why it's happening?
I literally can't play and I don't have the same issues on any other games I've tried. I hate to say it but diablo 4 runs fine and I haven't played d4 since poe2 came out and it's looking pretty good right now. |

" Welcome to the club, its GGG's horrible optimization and servers, time to max my next character in D4 and forget about this shit show, And I actually have fun and enjoy each and every 2nd, Even the bosses!!! You can die and try again WOWOWOWOWOWOW almost a basic fucking feature, Regardless of death, you get a chest at the end of these boss fights and you can open their hoards! die? no problem just try again! In POE2 you die? Whole map is thrown out the window now its just you and boss! Die and lose all revives to that broken rare or bunk boss fight? Now you gotta try it all over again AND you can't apply any tablets woohoo And they passed removing instilling maps as a good thing, delirium and instilled emotions legit have no use except to get an extra perk on your ammy, oh you actually want a good/useful perk lol, sorry can't get that without the final 4 instilled emotions Last edited by Jobama#9902 on Jan 5, 2026, 9:45:59 PM

" I wanted an explanation about the lag spikes not random complaints about other parts of the game. Losing XP is a part of the game. It's what makes it have less fall off. In D4 you can just throw yourself at anything without consequence until you beat it through dumb luck. No thanks. |

" Probably because of Mandatory Lockstep, meaning the server has to know every thing you're doing in real time. There are things you can do to help, but the biggest improvement is GGG's responsibility -- probably to move off lockstep and onto a more flexible protocol that syncs every few seconds instead of all the time. (That migration is a big, complex project.) 1. Plug into the wall, no wireless. 2. Increase the size of your shader cache. 3. Install on a fast SSD. 4.
