Insane Latency Spikes and Game Crashes since 3.23

I've encountered similar issues where the game keeps crashing due to an unexpected error. Just yesterday, I attempted a 5-way battle but as soon as it started, the frame rate plummeted to 1 FPS, resulting in a crash. The same thing happened today during a blight encounter; the game froze, the timer continued, and then it crashed. I believe the problem might be with the skippable mechanics, as they seem to cause significant lag. I'm not sure what changes were made in this league, but I didn't experience these problems in version 3.22, neither in Blight nor in 5-way battles. At this point, playing feels more like a chore than enjoyment.
Game is completely unplayable for me too. Latency anywhere between 80 and 80000 and not stable. Completely random too. Can function perfect for a day then next day cant do a single map because of latency.

Getting very frustrated here. Will be on holiday for a while - fingers crossed they fix it in the meantime.
Poe is unplayable at the moment. :( Wasted time and currency.
People that are unaffected by "engine optimizations" and whatever GGG did with their servers, already got a couple mirrors and I cannot even play the game. Server latency is fine in my case though I have insane CPU time spikes which makes the game totally unplayable. Good job GGG, you made me quit the game after all these years. Congrats.

This is exactly what I'm facing right now, it started of as every like 20 instances I'd get a bad one. and day by day it has gotten worse. now I can't even enter town, loading screens take up to two minutes and when I get in my latency is instantly rising and I get disconnected. that or I get a good instance and then it starts rising randomly. you can't do anything about it, I've tried contacting ISP, restarting router, using VPN. nothing worked.
Same issue here. Gotta find the 'good' instance or else it will be deathspikes and wasted portals...
Complete bullshit servers, every time i fight in the lab i die to lag spikes. Fix your servers GGG.
Hopping between EU servers doesn't help either.
While leveling I can get out and reset an instance until I get one without lag.

I am not sure but I think if I enter an area with lag, the Viridian Wildwood will lag as well - no area lag no wildwood lag.
I have played a new char until lvl 25 without the lag spikes. Iirc my other characters were fine as well in the early levels.
Guess I start a new char and see how far I get without lag. Maybe it ccould be somehow connected?
Simply unable to do heist content at all. In Rogue Harbor or in a Heist contract, after a minute or two I spike to 16k+ms latency and my client disconnects. It now seems to effect me in ever instance.

I deleted my cache at %AppData%\Path of Exile and it did not help. Reset modem/router and it did not help. This is not a me problem, it's a PoE server problem.

I have a GeForce 3080 with an i9 and 64gigs of RAM.
