Frequent and consistent lag spikes

I also have this same exact issue, but it didn't start after 3.0.. I had it in previous patches as well.

Though for me I am able to run some zones without any lag what so ever, then all of a sudden (for example in The Southern Forest) I get huge lag spikes every 2-3 seconds. My MS is about 30-40 and then it spikes up to 300-1000ms. Unplayable and incredibly annoying.

Also suffering from random latency problems on (random) maps.

Live in sweden, been testing different gateways, done ping plotting.
Thought it was on my side but can see a lot of different threads about this, i just hope that GGG
looks in to this.

Constant spikes that freeze the game every 5-7s starting to piss me off, i am very close to just say fuck it and be done with the game for now.

This is VERY bad PR for the game now that so many new players are coming in, GGG you better get your shit together those new players will think that this is how the game always have been and will quit playing.

Yeah as someone who has spent a ton of money on supporter packs (and not nearly as much as you), this is incredibly frustrating.

The WORST part is that there has been no response from GGG at all.

Yeah the no response is actually really irritating!

GGG usually responds to issues but this seem to not bother them at all when so many people who spent a lot of money on the game are barely able to play it.

Unfortunately I was having this same issue last league and quit the league early hoping 3.0 would fix it. I emailed support with an winMTR report that showed packet loss and they told me it was on my end. They told me to call my ISP. Well I did and I was told everything should be working as expected.

Path of Exile is the only game where I am experiencing these issues. Some days are better than others but its incredibly frustrating to not be able to play because the lag is just too bad. In breach league I had a smooth 10ms ping that rarely spiked. Ever since Legacy I havent made it a full day without experiencing constant/consistent lag spikes.

Sounds kind of strange that so many internet service providers would start having trouble and only with Path of Exile.

It is also funny how my ISP then gets their shit together if I close the map and open a new map instance. The logic...

having this issue now more than ever, latency goes from 19 steady to spikes of 450+ consistently.these spikes seem to happen every 10 seconds on the dot.

13 day old thread. no response. :/

I'm done. This is unplayable. I'm experiencing lag spikes that last up to 10 seconds long. I can't go more than 2-3 seconds without a spike. I can play minecraft, TF2, watch youtube, netflix, twitch, all without issues at all, even when doing them at the same time. I like this game, and it was great until some of the recent updates, but now it's gotten to the point where it's unbearable and not fun. I'll come back in a couple months to see if it's fixed.

I've tried adding exceptions to windows defender and antimalware, to no avail, even going to far to completely turn these off. I don't believe the problem is on my end.

Now experiencing this issue with 3.0.1. I run fine 90% of the time (literally). I can go for 8 to 9 seconds, then I will get a cool 1 second of 1500+ ms. After that I go back to fine, with additional pings every 10 seconds or so. Even weirder is that it is not occurring on all maps / locations of the game. Hideout + 75% of maps are affected, but in some maps the issue is suddenly "fixed."
