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

Currently every other instance is getting massive lag spikes that cause the screen to pause every other second. FPS is fine, in town everything is fine, no lag.

Log into one map instance, it is fine, then log into the next one and it is horrible. I am on the Texas server if that makes a difference.

Guys, try a direct cable connection. Can't play over Wi-Fi

Every instance is a LAG fest. Please fix

As i told before, for those Nvidia cards users try to downgrade the GPU drivers to 560.94 version, it did the trick for me, no more lag spikes!

Can confirm that downgrading NVidia driver to 560.94 did resolve lags, cpu and gpu spikes. The game says to update detected outdated driver, but allows to load the game. The FPS is stable on high settings. I'm on RTX 4080 SUPER, btw.

Thank you for the advice.

Confirm - downgrade to 560.94 fixed this stutter rubberbanding and overall clunk.

Thx. rtx 4070 laptop ver.

Also confirm 560.94 fixed issue for me also. works much better than 566.36
GPU 4080 super oc

The issue with 40 series cards and the latest drivers has nothing to do with the lag spikes. Its a separate but similar issue. I'm on a 3070 and the game runs like butter on highest settings outside when the latency spikes, then its a slide-show. And yes I tried downgrading my drivers along with every other fix on the web. None have helped.
