Lag Fest.

Game is so full of lag, it is making the game unplayable. I have lost count of how many times I have died, without knowing what hit me, it is a joke. Freeze up's lasting anywhere from 1-2 seconds up to 10-15 seconds is ridiculous.

Mirage is the first league I have played for a few years, only returning to the game after a numbers of years. It is only PoE doing this.

I got a 5950X, 7900XT, 32 Gb RAM on Windows 10. So I got a reasonable amount of grunt for the system I run.

It isn't clear from your post what exactly is going wrong. A screenshot of the game client's suite of performance metrics taken while experiencing the problem could be informative.
