Latency Spikes

I have been getting really bad Latency spikes for the past hour. They have been hitting 10k plus then I get disconnected.
I have tried restarting me Router and PC to see if that was the problem, but its still there.

Anyone else having this issue?

i often get spikes so i can't tell if its me or servers but yes i had some spikes (10s+) in last 30min). I have more of an issue with the new lockstep, my client freezes but the server side is running, after i get back connection the game on client side speeds up to catch up- are you experiencing the same thing?
Sometimes it catches up but most times I just get disconnected to the login screen.

i see, i'm not getting DCed, kinda wished it would kick me out. when it does catch up, does it speed up? from what ive heard the idea is that the game should pause and only continue when your connection stabilizes
Speeds up and I usually die lol

haha glad to hear i'm not alone.
It only happens when I play during the most popular hours. I noticed yesterday and today that I can play without any latency issues during the early hours of the morning. But as soon as everyone wakes up it becomes a frequent issue. I'm on Amsterdam (EU) server.

Started having latency spike today, and has been persistently so throughout the day, making the game unplayable.

When latency spikes happen, whatever is on the screen goes into super slow motion, then fast-forwards to catch up to "real time".

Even right now, just idling on the Caravan in Act 2, I can see that I have a stable 30ms latency normally, but whenever a player comes into the instance, the latency spikes to 200ms for a split second then return to 30ms.

In the campaign, this spike happens whenever I move close to a mob pack. This has killed or almost killed me a couple of times today. The game is completely unplayable in this condition.

Never had any of these latency spikes before today. :(

Anyone else suddenly having thsese latency spikes as well?

i know its not perfect but if you feel you might die and get a longer spike hit PUASE/ESC and the game should pause very shortly after and stay paused till you get the connection back after which you can unpause and continue

Same here for me unfortunately.

Spikes and bounces about for a few seconds and I rubber band all over the place, then it just climbs constantly til it hits 8000ms+ and disconnects me.

Doesn't make any difference what time I play, it's consistently done it since 2 days ago now :(.

Running a 2gb direct fibre line to the property and ethernet for the pc, not seeing any packet loss, drops or latency issues when testing/pinging, and never had this issue with other games or PoE2 til 2 days ago.

Tried port forwarding, router reboot, had my ISP double check my line just to be 100% sure, and still the same :(
