[gamebreaking] HUGE lags in random maps (into d/c's) [COMPILATION]

Started happening to me too today :/

I have this too. My PC and internet connection is very good, I can play many other games smoothly and stable, for example multiplayer Diablo III, Diablo II Resurrected, Overwatch, Call of Duty... but PoE does not.

In my case, I figure out that if I enter an instance, I keep stand for about 5 - 10 secs to see if latency is ok (stable around 40 - 50ms). If it is not, I immediately change back to previous instance (hideout/harbour/previous trial room) and change back again. This solution can be use most of time.

Im pretty sure this is the problem from GGG. I played PoE for many leagues, but this is the first league I get this problem. Glad to know that im not the only one.

Seems like there's plenty of WinMTR reports so I'll just add - this is happening to me since league start but got way for frequent the last couple of days.
At this point some form of communication about the issue would be really nice as it gets pretty frustrating and obviously takes a while to fix.

Just lost my 2nd hardcore character to this. I just assumed my 1st death was due to stutter/DC on my end. After it happened again (my 3rd map), I ended up here.

It's a shame, cause I really like this league.

I already replied a couple of times, but I will reply again. WinMTR, PingPlotter nothing really matters. There are no lag spikes at Act1-10 and lag spikes start at maps. I know below doesn't show any campaign footage and I cant record any sorry. Game will take 3 hours to install lol.

Our guesses is, scourge mobs at maps are pre-loaded and with already high mob density of map mobs now also gets mixed with scourge maps and your lag goes boom.

Such a shame this league is too good for me. My league start went too well, I had a blast. Too sad to see no one gives a shit, no one communicates you on a problem that game you like.

Same problem here.

happened about 6 or 7 times to me so far this league

Same issue here. Game is unplayable. So far my favorite league, it's a shame that they didn't release any explanation towards this issue

I have the same problem. Sometimes, the lag spikes go to 2-3k ms so it is completely unplayable, eventually, I got dc. I have fiber internet and no issues in any other game/stream/vod so it is on PoE...

This keeps happening to me over and over again, tried everything:

Uninstall/install PoE
Cleared config files

Everything was smooth after reinstalling, but when i press v and enter scourge mechanic my game went crazy again and i can't play on any zone, keep getting over 20k ms.

I can play through VPN or via my phone internet.
