Continuous Stuttering/Lag Despite Stable FPS and Internet in PoE 2 Early Access

Same issue myself. It's actually unplayable and tried a couple different times with same results. Thought it was because I'm running off a linux machine till I found this post that describes the exact same issue. I'm kind of stumped and disappointed.

Yesterday after the maintenance the game ran super smooth and had stable ping. Today when i started playing the stutter is back and latency going back and forth between 30 to 120ms and the game feels janky. When i'm running the background stutters. Feels so bad. My connection is stable but in game network latency is doing some weird stuff.

Have GGG officially acknowledged this issue? I mean, they are talking about balance, map stash tabs, and other stuff, but this doesn't seem to be very high on their priorities. Wonder if we can expect a working fix before the full release.

Same problem here... impossible to play, it started after last update.

Still ongoing. 45 ms then shoots up to 300+ every few seconds. No way to reliably do any endgame stuff with this.

Been far too long to not be acknowledging this problem. It is absolutely a server issue.

Getting shut down to 8, 15 and lower FPS' after the new patch. Updated every driver etc. Getting unplayable, honestly.

Yep, after patch 0.1.1b, the game's latency keeps oscillating between 20ms and 500ms. Occasionally, it spikes dramatically, causing disconnections. The game was running smoothly before the patch. I’m experiencing the same issue on PoE1.

This issue has been going on ever since the game was launched. It has been 50 days now. As GGG's paying customers GGG should have been communicating with us, but they are not.

The game has some serious performance issues. GGG thinks by not mentioning them and contain people who have trouble with the game in their own threads they can control the damage.

This is not something we can fix on our end, because the problem is the game engine itself.

As long as GGG is not interested in open communication our only other option is to increase the pressure and warn others by giving a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam in a detailed and informative manner.

I am not sure if stuttering is the right word for what i am experiencing. Someone talked about game out of sync and that feels about right. So when i am moving, the background is janky and i cant read loot text and almost get motion sickness. Sometimes it just goes away, feels like synced again and it can be ok for rest of my play session. Next day i log in the stutter is back.

FPS is stable and my connection is fine but in game the network part goes from 20ms to 200ms like crazy. Feels just awful to play and when it somehow fixes it feels awesome to play the game.

Hope they fix their shit.

Not sure this method has been mentioned before, but this is what fixed all the lag/stuttering issues for me in PoE2 as Nvidia user.

Nvidia app thinks we're playing PoE1 instead PoE2.


Hope this helps some people.
