Insane Latency Spikes and Game Crashes since 3.23

I am getting cannot connect to the instance all the time. There is something seriously wrong with the servers this league. Every time i try to zone to ANYWHERE. My hideout, a new map, treade with others, I get cannoct connect to the instance. This has nevver happened to me ever before and been palying for the past 8 years POE.

So removing all of the mtx from my character and I went from constant crashes to the game running smooth as butter again?

Is it possible the issues are linked to some bugged mtx interactions? Can anyone else try this and see results or am I just crazy?

If not, hobo mode is now activated.



Edit:

Did a 60% Del map, and a sim 30 without any issues. I don't remember all of the mtx I was wearing, but I believe I was wearing a bunch of the nightfall items and the huntsman wings.

i just read your post yes MTX OFF improve a lot the game , it s sad...

its SOOO WEIRD.

After deleting ALL poe files (especially the c/games files with personal setting)and reinstall, the game runs smooth, no spike cpu no freeze, running well over 40 fps whatever on the screen.

And Back again since yesterday, drop to 1 fps, freeze till poe crash, loading up to 2-3 minutes (so who wanna map with 4 min down for 2-3min map?) its a pure disaster, just cannot play in the end.

Also, NO LOADING TIME on standard, only on Affliction, How F strange?? :)

Please communicate about whats going on.

my computer is pretty old but no way it works super well once and few days after its awful, and when I see guys on 2000$ machine having same issue... kek

latency gets crazy in some maps, even in my hideout :P Please advise or fix the problem.
Never before have encountered this issue, and it started about two weeks ago...

I spoke with a couple ppl about this, can you replay to this comment and tell me where(country) you are having these issues?

I am From germany hand talked with about 12 ppl, also Germany and Telekom Customers.

:)

Im from germany aswell and had issues in the first week. Telekom aswell on small 50mbit (village) internet.

I got a VPN in the 2nd week and now I am completly and 100% lag-spike free. VPN connects me to Netherlands, I feel no delay/input lag or anything. Game plays just like it used to do.

Some VPNs offer free test months before you have to pay, mabe this is a solution for some people.

Im from Poland but play through Frankfurt gate.
Some locations are unplayable with spikes <100k MS.

I cant finish last labirynth because each floor is a roulette - some of them are fine, rest is unplayable

Back after about 2 years to this game living in Germany Cologne (sorry for my rusted english) and interesting is people complaining on one side about lags and about crashes on the other.
Yesterday I installed the game and played several hours very smoothly without lags and crashes, tested different graphic and UI settings with no issues. Suddenly the game crashed while fighting on the map and now it constantly crashes right after starting the game, mostly before I can even log in.
After that I tried to sort out where it comes from and tested different Bios setting, OC und UV setting for GPU and CPU and different game graphic settings as well but nothing really helped.
Clearing the cache was at least one measure after that the game ran 30 seconds longer so I could even spawn in town, but of course it crashed immediately.
Unfortunately, it's not playable that way. Maybe I'll take another look when POE2 is released.

Just gave everything i had to guild and sended my ass to the void...playing std here and there.
Its sad but....its what i have.
Cheers to all that stay and merry christmas^^


p.s-std its a lot smoother coz of course...its not overloaded

I find fix for me.

My problem is huge latency spikes (5-10k+) in some locations - new instance fix the problem, but i was wasting a lot of maps and cant finish lab because each floor is diffrent locations.

Now i change to Moscow and there is no such problem.
Ping is higher than Frankfurt but at least i can play.
