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

Lag spikes are still up, same problem 30-150-30-150-30-150 non stop constant graph ....
I'm having constant stuttering and spikes. Graph details turned on. Shader goes nuts half the time, but even when all the graphs seem good (below half, around 20 ms network), it's still near unplayable. I just stutter around the game, dying and unable to actually target mobs

Edited:
Network is spiking like crazy now, beyond playable

I have extreme ping spikes as well. Game is not playable right now. I tried nearly every EU server, but all of them run very bad.
This needs to be fixed asap.

I’ve been experiencing severe lag in every location, and the game is unplayable. Is there any solution? This issue has been happening for the past two days.


First of all, I want to say thank you — the game is a beautiful piece of work and I can see how much effort went into it. I'm also a developer, so I understand how much time and energy a project like this takes.

Since the new season started, I played for three days without any issues, but then I suddenly began experiencing severe lag. I checked the F1 debug info and immediately saw connectivity problems.

To try and resolve the issue, I followed these steps:

1. Removed all third-party add-ons, such as loot filters.

2. Updated my graphics drivers.

3. Changed the server I was connected to.

After each step, I restarted the game and tested again. Eventually, step 3 worked — changing the server helped, as the Milano server seems to have been unstable lately. Switching to a different server solved the problem.

Honestly, I didn’t expect such a strong dependency on server connectivity when playing solo. I understand it for party play, where position syncing and shared events are crucial, but I was surprised that even solo gameplay could be affected this much.
Lag spike every second for last 5 days no matter whhich EU server I choose. Unplayable game :(
Still an issue here aswell.
Often ends with a DC and Progress Rolback.

Tested my Connection with: https://www.fusionconnect.com/

Up / Donw aprox 825 Mbps, 5 MS ping, 1 MS Jitter.
me too hi FPS but lagging
Have the same issue.

My internet connection is perfect tested with multiple tools.

825 Mbps up + down. 8 MS Ping, 1 MS Jitter.

Hower ingame network latency spikes constantly up and down, while CPU and GPU are stable at 8 - 10 MS.

At the same time if i ping Pathofexile.com, i get contant 8 - 10 MS,
So it indeed looks like server side issue ?
