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

Also having this issue since the latest patch (~2 days or so)..
Was having no issues before that, game is suddenly unplayable. It does seem to get worse at peak times in Australia servers, but still pretty bad at all times now..
I'm not experiencing any form of lag in other games..

The Australian/NZ servers are completely unplayable. We are talking single FPS in waypoints into a speed up with your corpse in the middle of a pack of elites. It started during peak Australian hours around 3-4 days ago, currently the lag only starts becoming tolerable at around 11pm AEDT.

The amount of XP and resources that have gone down the drain in the last 2 days are insane. There needs to be some kind of acknowledgement with plans to address this.

Can confirm this is still happening for me (Auckland NZ) Gateway. My ping is perfect in my hideout but as soon as i get into maps it is spiking to 150-160 every few seconds. It gets especially bad when i start using skills on packs of monsters. My game will start going slowmo then speeding up to light speed.

Game is almost unplayable

why can't ggg even adress this? burn their review's on steam maybe then they'll listen

Just wanting to report that also still having issues with rubberbanding/spikes. I have been playing since the launch with no issues at all until around 2 days ago. Tried power cycling my router, trying different settings/graphics, checked graphics card updates etc. I am in Australia and using starlink. I'd imagine something has just changed as it was perfect beforehand.

on NZ servers with stable 20ish second ping in hideout and maps before 12AM NZDT but after about midday the lag spikes become unbearable. seems to only be an issue in certain times and for certain people as my other mates from NZ aren't encountering the issue.

+1

I'll throw my hat in the ring too.
I've been playing on the Australian gateway since 10th December.
I experienced minor stuttering issues despite 80+ solid fps, but still very playable.
Just got up to mapping maybe 4 days ago, but for the past 2 days (since the 19th December)every time I log on I experience wildly fluctuating lag, from about 60ms to 600ms, with the game slowing to a crawl then speeding up rapidly.
Completely unplayable, you just die immediately.

+1 on this. Aus server as well did not start happening until the most recent update. I have lost quite a few t15 rare maps now.. not to mention the exp loss every time I die :\ shame the team is on a break with the game in such a state

Yep im the same

just this evening its the worst its ever been.

once again ggg and gone on break and just forgotten about the game. i hope it legit crashes and burns coz of how long this issue has gone on for, without them acknowledging it.

Literally sitting near the map zone and my network is just sky rocketing up and down.

its a pathetic joke.
