Clear message to GGG.

now, stokholm i pingdancing

any info on poe2 servers ip addresses ? wanna traceroute them

that's all , ping is back to normal

btw i've noticed thaton login screen stokholm server has ping 25-30 , but in game it is 70-80 , what's going on ? what should i check ?

same here, this is annoying as f.
tried new instance, different servers, turned off vpn and with "ping -t www.google.com" i have constand 15-16ms.
poe2 goes up to 5k+ until dc. this happens too often.
nice vid btw, exactly as i feel, when it occurs.

hm, game is unplayable right now. and to those goofys, who say get better internet infrastructure in your country: "Why do the rest of my online games work?"

From the early access you weren't able to solve this issue. This is the highest level of incompetence what I ever suffer in all of my 37 years gaming life. Here is the message:

What server do you use and what connection do you have. Becouse i don't have any problem with ms. Do you use wired connection?

Server: Amsterdam.
NET. 1,5Gbit/1.5Gbit, Full optical. Server center is near me. Direct connection to optical router.
No vpn, no other software.
AND ONLY THIS GAME HAS THIS F:CKIN PROBLEM!

++ to this threat.

i played tons of online games and still do.

Never ever issues like here with PoE (2).
all other games are running fine !

The tragedy is, the game is really good.
all guys with their hints about connection, configuration, up to firewall-changes, VPN-Sellers....
i tried a lot, but all fails.

GGG doesnt need defenders but motivation to take care seriously.

I donated supporter packs all the time, but this time, conditions are really worse.

GGG React and solve and/or offer serious solutions

I'm in Iceland and the issues are pretty dire here. I would accept this in a F2P envoriment, but the current group of ppl did pay real money for connecting to these servers.

I play MANY online games that do not have these issues like has been repeated multiple times in this topic already.

The real damage is ofc that the game is litterally PUNISHING players to play it in this enviroment with heavy death penalties in endgame. The server issues also become even more clear when you have these connection issues. To expect anyone to play through the last set of trials, for example is just totally unacceptable.

If you charge money for a product that is ONLY available online... then the service needs to deliver. F2P quality connections and server stability are simply not acceptable.

Why dont i see any of the streamers i watch encountering this issue? Ive never seen a stream where this happens to the streamer. I used to have a similar issue with the game rubberbanding and the ping would spike like this. Switched to ethernet cable and it went away entirely. Turns out it was a wifi issue.

This is the most common problem, by far. I always wonder if people are plugged into the wall when they make these posts.

That said, there are things GGG might be able to do help, even if players are on wifi. Moving from a lockstep protocol (every single thing goes to and comes back from the server in real time) to a predictive protocol (the server is updated every 5 seconds) would simplify wifi traffic. I think all Blizzard games are predictive, so being on wifi doesn't matter as much if you are playing a Blizzard game.

NO, it's not a wifi problem. i hung on the modem directly the enire time. still got this issues some times. yesterday it was unplayable on all eu servers( frankfurt, amsterdam, milano). so get away with your zoomer IT knowledge.

btw: today no problems.

it could be problem not with servers , but network infrastructure, that's true, but not on players side, because of different locations, isp, hardware, nodes, cables etc. if that happens only in 1 place - it's clear. but from any place in the world - no way, problem in a center, where all people are connecting to

and nobody tells about disconnections, packet losses etc, we all experience same ping spike/dance DURING WHICH OTHER INTERNET IS FINE

Wifi can exacerbate other problems. If you aren't plugged into a wall, that's the first thing to do.

Second step is to use a service like speedtest.net to determine your local ping.

There has been confirmed DDOSing of the European servers, in 2025 and 2026. An apparent mitigation strategy for this has been to send all traffic through Sydney, which is a long way for EU servers, so even the solution hurts.

Telekom in Germany is rumored to deprioritize GGG traffic. If that's your ISP, that's something to look at.

Finally, I haven't tried this myself and it might be dangerous, but you can add networking_type=predictive to your config file, to get off lockstep.
