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

"

This is no trivial matter. Before focusing on aspects like loot balance or nerfing certain classes, ensuring the game is properly optimized should be the top priority. Without a stable and reliable foundation, gameplay adjustments become meaningless.


I agree. "Not as annoying as I have to quit" would be good enough though.
I made a post at poe2 early access bug reports as well can we try getting GGG's attention there as well?

Trying Sekhema trial with this stutterings is almost impossible atm lol
Sometimes better (but not stable), sometimes impossible to play, like 30-40fps...

Ryzen 7600
RTX 4060
32gb ram
NVME 1tbm 3500mb/s
Fiber 500mb dow / 500mb up

Please GGG ;(
I hope the only reason we still have this issue because it isn't easy to fix, but that silence is killing me. Until then I just spam new instances till I get the stable one. Sorry for wasting your server resources GGG, but it's the only way I can comfortably play.

It's impossible to play. Loading screens take too long. When I try to switch areas, the game practically stops responding, I can still hear the sound, but it continues forever on the loading screen. And to make matters worse, even after all this, when I manage to play, after a few seconds the latency is crippling. Everything has gotten worse for me in this latest patch.
I'm not having any problems with other similar games.
I've tried all the solutions offered in this post and nothing has worked. What a disappointment!



The internet connection fluctuations continue, generating lag spikes that make it impossible to play.
The video shows what it's been like for me (the only application open is the game, the only person connected to the network is me, and I'm not downloading anything at the same time).

Well, adding my name to the list I guess.

This issue also started for me after the latest patch.
Before that is was smooth sailing.

Generally I have no stutters for the first 2 or 3 minutes and then they slowly ramp up to the point where it becomes a slide show. Have tried all the suggestions I could find and none have made a difference.

Will be giving the game a break until this is resolved. Not quite my idea of a fun experience.

i am also suffering from this. its ok during the day through the week but its constant at weekends and at nighttime through the week. I know its not my connection, no other game suffers from this and i have full fiber connected via ethernet to my pc. its really bringing down the experience. dyeing to stuff i could dodge if i wasn't lagging and loosing my highest ranked map is upsetting.
Game is unplayable for me right now, time to quit.
I remember when i had exact same issue with this problem on poe 1. After long time googling found that some sort of (Lockstep) option exists. I changed that option, (sorry don't remember exact option name, maybe Predictive or something), but that fixed fully my agony.
Idk maybe this poe2 has that stuff, cuz i have same stutter problem as poe 1 has.
But seems it wont be fixed any time soon. No response from GGG. And this thread keep expanding.
