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

Unreal they just shut up shop after dropping the death patch & have left any issues to be resolved after the break.

That just proves how small indie these guys are. It’s festive season yep, but they’d surely have staff on still to resolve such matters like this.

As it seems it’s only getting worse.

it seems that I found a way to completely "FIX" the latency issue, at least for me..

I had the Frankfurt server auto-selected, which seems to have these network and latency issues - after switching to Milan (probably others could work as well?), and making sure that the map/instance is indeed in the Milan server, everything seems to work great

make sure that you refresh the instance, since if you just switch a server and log right back in, any open instance, like a map, can still be on the old server, thus it will seem like nothing has changed.. (you can see the instance's server on the right side after clicking tab)

Yeah, it's the servers for sure. Amsterdam/Frankfurt are just bad on EU prime time for me

Turning ON VPN fixed my network issue. I struggled through multiple days of this network issue. When I went into endgame maps, most of them would make the network connection fluctuate from 20ms to 200ms every 2 seconds and eventually would skyrocket to 20,000ms and I'd die. Occasionally the server would be okay when it was really really early in the morning (U.S. east coast) but it was rare. My friend let me use his VPN to see if that would clear up the connection and it worked amazingly. I have a 1 gigabit internet connection and even on speed tests get a consistent 900mb/s down & similar up. Not sure if this VPN smooths out the packet routing or what but try it out, hopefully it helps.

It seems any "fix" presented by other users having this issue is just a coincidence and it's only temporary. It's only a matter of time before it pops up again. Please look into this GGG.

Yup, it's just pure RNG in my opinion.

Haven't been able to chain together two lagspike-free sessions since EA release, despite trying all the folk remedies (e.g. IPv6, changing realms, creating new instances, tweaking channel count, DNS, predictive networking, chat /clear, etc.)

Doesn't even seem to be time of day related. I've had buttery smooth sessions during prime/peak hours, and then the most stuttery chopfests you can imagine in the dead middle of the night.

Unfortunately, the only solution for me that has worked pristinely for the last 2 days has been using Exitlag (VPN/route optimizer) to switch my game server as soon as a troubling, high packet-loss server is connected to. It instantly finds 1+ routes that do not have latency and connects me to them. I refrained from posting this until I could be confident it was working for 2 days straight.

This proves it's an instancing issue or a netcode issue on GGG's end and they have to solve this quick. It has nothing to do with our connections. I can play every other game I have and not have this issue where some server routes are perfect and others have terrible latency spikes.

Worst server ever can't do map nice end game. i'm from Quebec/Canada

Having the same issue, tried a bunch of stuff.

(Auckland NZ) Gateway is perfectly fine until around 12-3PM. Then it immediately starts tanking as soon as you start doing maps. I just did a breach and the whole instance went into super slowmo and then as soon as it finished my instance sped up 10x. This is absolute dogshit.

Fix your stupid server issues GGG. Dont go on fucking holiday right as you release a patch that fucks the whole servers and makes the game unplayable.

Came here for the same reason, cant do maps at the moment because of the network lag RIP

same problem, my issue seems to be tied to specifically GPU LATENCY that's what spikes to like 70-80ms and causes my stable +60fps to instantly drop to 5-10fps

but i've never had this issue with any game (and i've played a shitload of poe/elden ring/etc on this pc)

Same here. Latency 60-80 and my FPS are dropping to 15.... Even in Character Screen my FPS keep staying at 25 and MS 60-90.

Yesterday everything was fine and game was running with 60-90FPS.
