Frequent and consistent lag spikes

I just started playing this game a few days ago and I really enjoy it. Im running i7 processor with 32 gigs ram and awesome everything. Trying to do lab boss is impossible though because every magic spell he does causes a loss of 1-2 seconds of time and I end up dead. I turned all my settings to low and whatnot, but that hasnt helped at all.

GGG: you NEED to fix this. I feel like labs are a big part of the game, and if I work 30mins to not die in order to face this boss, and then die because of lag, it is a waste of my time. And from the posts I see here, it is mainly your fault. If you want to keep your customers and get new ones, fix issues like this.


Are you running the game in borderless windowed mode?

Can you try fullscreen, please?

Just bought stash and stuff was enjoying the game and sudden ping from 300/400 tp 1.7k whats happening?

Lag is the biggest problem for poe.

Take Lab for instance. I first loved the lab but learned to hate it. Why? Can't get gud against lag. When the lag hits everyone dies.

Plus all the constant disconnections really piss me off. I disconnect at least three times before the game can even play. Then I have to wait 10 minutes for my stash to turn on and my skills like HoA to become normal.

Yesterday I spend 30 minutes playing and two hours trying to get the game to work.

ahem: GGG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS GAME PLEASE.
I'm having major lag spikes since 3.0/3.1. Never had a problem before, and have also ripped many toons to simple stupid lag. I emailed support and I got no help. Now when I try to contact them again they don't even email me back. Don't understand what's going on. Have tried different regional servers in which I still lag. Have tried VPN's in which I still lag. Just random disconnects as well, I lag spike once every 15 minutes it seems like. Can't even play hardcore with this.
This lag spikes where never existent before patch 3.0. Pretty sure its never on my side since we are connected to a 50 mbps internet speed and my computer can run Ghost recon Wildlands silky smooth. It must be somewhere in their new patches that's causing it. What's the point of doing HC if you're fated to lose it from frequent lag spikes anyway. To think that this game isnt graphics heavy and yet, this the only online game i'm having trouble liking nowadays cus of these lags..
same here.tried the whole 9 yards to fix it in the options an ect.its extremely disappointing and sad,this game is one my favorites.i cant go 3 seconds without lag.ggg get your head out of your ass and fix this shit,how do you think most great game companies die?they make huge mistakes an dont bother to clean up after them selves causing the snowball effect for everyone else to get rolled.this shit has been going on for half a year now your fan base is going to be dropping like flies and you cant blame them.
Lag spikes and disconnects are killing me. I've used all six attempts on a map due to disconnects. I can't get a character through the labyrinth at all. I'm losing exp like water through a strainer due to dying because of lag.
If all y'all would kindly do the sensible thing, we might be able to help you:

1. Run a WinMTR test as specified in the sticky thread at the top of the forum.
1a. Alternately, use PingPlotter instead of WinMTR, and post a screenshot, not the text output.
2. Post that in a separate top level thread.
3. Stop it with the conspiracy theories, and accept that some - but not all - of these issues are outside GGG control.
4. Seriously, stop it. Even for the issues that are apparently within the GGG network, conspiracy theories don't help.
I would just like to also voice my opinion that this latency spiking issue is clearly a Path of Exile server error because I get frequent spiking and I know it's neither my computer hardware nor my internet.

GGG Please do something about this because I love this this game but it's getting very tiresome and a bit annoying to play this way. I've died multiple times because of latency spiking, including in the labyrinth, which as you can imagine, sort of makes me not want to play.

Speed tests prove nothing tbh, it would measure the latency once, then it about how much data can get to the destination, it dose not even come close to running a test to the server as it would test to the nearest point to you to ensure the best result

You run the fucking test or not, if you don't, don't expect anything other than ridicule especially when you are necroing a thread on an unrelated issue with the same end result.
