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

Washington DC player +1, periodic lagging happens by 15s or so.

Same problem here. Game is microstuttering every couple seconds and then sometimes flashes game paused on the screen. I’m using steam play from gaming PC to steam deck.

If you enable the stats bar to show you'll see the latency is what's causing it. Even though its NOT your connection. It's the servers instability. Can create a new instance of that same zone and it can go away. Makes mapping a headache as the entire map seems to be on the same server so you cannot get away from it. I am sitting at 10-15ms withn spikes of 750-1000 for prolonged periods. So frustrating.

same as everyone else here. lag spikes make the game unplayable. mapping is especially horrendous

Anecdotal evidence, but I also have very steady internet and have been experiencing the random latency spikes every 10 seconds or so. I've noticed that this effect is random after my character dies. Sometimes dying and respawning gets rid of the stutter, and then it will randomly come back after some deaths as well.

Having the same issue, started today. I updated my graphics drivers, I thought it was related to that. I spent a long time trying to mess with settings, nothing fixed it. FPS does not drop, so I guess it has to be latency. I don't know if there is a way to confirm this.

I have the same stutter problem... bump! I know it's early access but I hope they gonna adress it

I've noticed everyone using AT&T in California is experiencing this as well. Hopefully it gets addressed, this thread is getting huge.

This is also constantly happening in the San Francisco bay area.

Perfectly stable all week until this afternoon, 5 hours of nothing but stutter. No more weekend play for me.
