Insane Latency Spikes and Game Crashes since 3.23

Problem seems to be solved by using the windows firewall to block the route to 185.225.208.0/24.

I seems to work for me.
Let me know, if it works for you as well.

I'm playing on Singapore/Japan server and my latency get randomized between 58ms and 5digits ms before disconnecting me from the game. Don't know if this is ISP fault or not since all the other games that I plays (Dota 2, CS2, Valorant, LoL) that have SEA/Sing/HK/JP server still can be played normally, with stable latency.

Exactly.
This is something need to be highlighted. Seems like Dota 2 and LoL have better servers than PoE.
I sometimes have issue with Dota 2 when playing at certain hours but LoL. Maybe, too many PoE players in SEA server? If that's the case then increase your server capacity, dear GGG. I spent almost 500 SGD for this game. Improve this and I promise I will spend few more bucks for stash tabs. (Not big fan of MTX)

Here is a short description.
Checking Google how to set up a custom firewall rule might help as well.

Type Win-Key and search firewall
Start Windows Defender Firewall
->Advanced settings
->Outbound Rules
->New Rule
->Custom
->Next
->All Programs (keep default)
->Next
->Keep defaults for all ports
->Next
->Select These IP addresses for the remote address (lower box)
->Add
->Enter 185.225.208.0/24 in This IP address or subnet
->OK
->Next
->Block the connection (default)
->Next
->Apply it to all profiles (default)
->Next
->Name the rule (Exclude POE Server) or what ever you like
->Finish


The way the rule is currently configured may be a bit rudimentary, but it should suffice for the time being. Remember to deactivate it once the server issue is resolved. In theory, this rule will also restrict access to other servers, apart from POE, since we have blocked a total of 254 server addresses. I highly doubt that you'll need any of these 254 servers at the moment.

Hope this helps

EDIT: It appears to be functioning well for me thus far. I haven't extensively tested it. I did notice some disconnection issues when entering my hideout once, but after three attempts, I managed to enter successfully. This disconnect might be a side effect of the firewall rule.

EDIT2:
Hmmmm, if the client spawns a map instance on a blocked server, you cannot enter the map. The client just disconnects.
So, the supposed solution does not work.

League announces -> Hyped and bought support pack of happyness.

Lags -> complains, but decided to sit it out for some days.

1 Week later -> really disappointed of lack of communication and no foreseeable solution, while dumb tinkering with server excludes and trying while this should be the job of GGG.
Honestly, last time for me buying first week supporters. Love the game itself by every bit, but i didn´t commit to play powerpoint of exile.
This should be adressed asap.

TBH the EXITLAG app helps me with lags. But it has only 3days trial. To costs of the month usage is ~5$.

Im so sad that i have to pay to play this FREE TO PLAY GAME

Hey,

after 3 years im back and have fun in this game again. I wanted to buy a support pack again, but now im a little bit sad of this game. So big lags. Sometimes about 30 seconds. At the moment sometimes not playable...

Problems with EU
