Infinite ping upon changing areas/instances

I have had this problem since the start of the settlers league but it has become so much worse now with the Phrecia event.

The problem is as follows, every time i swap to a new area the game has a high chance of just jacking my ping up infinitely causing me to have to relog to be able to can play again. This happens randomly and sometimes i can load 4 areas without it happening at all but at the same time sometimes this can happen multiple times in a row. On average i relog about 40+ times in an hour just to can play!

Things to note.
______________________________________________________________________________

I have been running the game on this hardware for a while and it has never presented such issues same with the internet.

When in a party with friends even when my latency shoots to 20000+ my movements still come through without any delay on their ends, i can even claim waypoints this way as well as use abilities and die!

All other games i play present no problems or packetloss of any kind and this happens only in path of exile.

Once more this only really started happening since the settlers launch and has become much worse with Phrecia.

Also the game never crashes from this or times out, it performs smoothly and i can freely zoom in and out and when not on lockstep move around and use abilities as well yet it is like i am purely visually timed out on my end.

Things i have tried.

1. I have tested this with plenty of the servers and it seems it does not matter which one i am on at all.

2. I have tested it with a VPN it made no difference.

3. I have tried both the Steam client and the standalone one it also made no difference.

4. I have done a clean install of windows 11 which also made no difference.

5. I have run the game at all possible settings it also made no difference.

6. I have swapped between lockstep and predictive and surprise it also made no difference.

I am really at the end of my rope here since this is the only game presenting problems like this and my internet is perfectly fine and is running well. If anyone or a Dev has a solution to this i am all ears but at this point the game is turning into a relog simulator for me.
