PS5 Freezing every minute everywhere

Lag spikes make the game unbearable, was working fine a few days ago.. Definitely has to do with POE2

Yes. It's making me second guess if I want to buy Path of Exile 2. I just keep saying to myself, I'm on a Playstation, they're ignoring it. So I'll ignore them.

The game is still not Playable unless you want to deal with constant Rubberbanding, Lags and Crashes in the Necro Settlers Legue.

Literally logged into these forums for the first time ever, just to reply to this thread and say this issue is STILL affecting PS5. I cannot get more than a minute into the Act 4 Mines without a huge lag spike and server disconnect. The fact this has been going on for more than a month with next to no reply from the devs is inexcusable.

I would like to hear that this is being investigated and what the current status of a fix is, however I also know not to hold my breath. If GGG wants to foster a polite and constructive forum/community, this radio-silence is not the way to do so.

Edit: I do believe I have found out a potential interim fix for this issue (at least for people with similar internet to me). If you have a wireless internet connection that you can choose between one of two connections, and one is currently set to the “Your Internet Name”_5G connection, change to the one NOT set to 5G. I was on my 5G version when I experienced the current issues described in this thread and upon changing off the 5G and to the “regular” connection, the issue has stopped.

I cannot guarantee this will help EVERYONE, but hopefully it helps some. And hopefully GGG Devs see this comment and investigate further. Good luck!

Same here, please fix (Lagging in game from time to time, but getting into A1 Caverns really started breaking it completely).

Tried changing the network, didn't help.

For clarity sake, I am running a Minion Army Witch Necromancer build. What else has everyone been running? Perhaps it is something related to a specific skill/build/class? I’m not getting my hopes up, as I can only spitball ideas, until a real dev comes in and explains things.

On the EXACT SAME CONSOLE, my partner is NOT experiencing this issue, so wth is going on? It has to be something related to either shaders/effects or skills imo.

Even some communication from them outside the usual “We are investigating” would be nice…

So I've got zero issue until I reach act 3. (I'm new obv)

Few maps in I decided to change the filters then the game keep freezing at random until I close the app. I've tried every setting and re-install but nothing change.

So I have no clue why the game start freezing like that. Could be act 3, filters or maybe I was lucky during act 1&2.

And the lack of communication regarding those known issues is not reassuring for the sequel. If there's no plan to fixing those problems at least inform your players.

Edit:
I've plan to start a new character to see if it gonna freeze and I just got one in the character selection screen

Since last weekend, the game is literally unplayable on PS5.

Constantly freezing after 1-2 minutes, whether I'm in maps or town or hideout.

At this point there is no way I'm paying for POE2 early access. Sadly I'm sure it'll be the same story on that as well

Adding my voice to the choir: I’m getting frequent rubberbanding when playing on PS5. There’s no discernible pattern to it, and it seems to happen at all times of the day.
