Insane Latency Spikes and Game Crashes since 3.23

Still not fixed yet, SG server. Unable to play gauntlet because of rubberbanding and spikes. It's totally RNG to get into a good instance, i have to keep spamming new instance until i found a good server but then again, random spikes and rubber banding. If not a good instance, it'll be 300-1k ping rollercoaster. Unplayable at all. Died to innocence ball in the face because of rubberbanding, I avoided it but it rubberband me back to my previous spot which the balls blast my face to death in Gauntlet.

600ms to SA, 900ms to EU, how to play this game like this??

Fix for my case.

i had this problem during the last week playing cooperative with a friend, i connect to the paris gateway and he to frankfurt, when we played together my lag was very high, unplayable, even if i connected to his gateway i had a lot of lag. in the end the solution was that he connected to the gateway in paris, that has solved all the latency problems, so maybe there are interconnection problems between different gateways.

same for me EU servers.

same here, Amsterdam & Frankfurt (EU) since few days


in the evenings between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m lags up to 20K (CET )

I also have very bad lag spikes when I am playing. There are 59 pages of replies to this "Insane Latency Spikes And Game Crashes Since 3.23" thread. Please fix this problem GGG. Are you guys using half of the servers to prepare for POE 2?

For my case, living in and playing from Scandinavia, it's an old pathing problem with a Telia backbone node in Amsterdam (have run countless trace routes with the same result over the years) and nothing that GGG can do anything about. However, the problem have just kept on getting worse and worse over the last couple of leagues, to the point of where I'm very close to calling it quits with POE because it's becoming more and more frustrating than fun to try and play under these conditions.

Same from Poland, i thought it may be my internet connection but then i found this thread and i have same issues. Its my 1st league and im aiming to do at least 38/40 challenges but im failing so much things due to latency spikes that i dont know if i be able to complete them it very frustrating to see that this problem was first reported on 10th Dec and there is no fix to this day.

Same problem here for few days = game unplayable when there are mobs in the map. There is also no lag in hideout. If I clear the map and run around there is no lag in the map. As soon as any mob is there ping graph goes crazy. My PC is solid no FPS lags only server ping lags. Happens in most servers I tested - frankfurt, amsterdam, london, paris - all the same. Game is litarlly unplayable when it comes to juiced maps. The last IP I tracerted was 203.23.178.229.
