Network issue is back - POE 2 EA game is currently unplayable

The most frustrating thing about the network problems is:

you can get lucky and get a normal instance server (check the Client.txt in your Log folder, it logs the IP of the instance server you connect to), or you can get a screwed-up one.

Sometimes, re-zoning (or relogging) will assign you to a different one, but you can waste whole keys (and therefore, citadels, bosses, etc) if you always get a bad one.

this is exactly whats happening to me. is there any fix ?
Can't play the game right now because it's freezing and then crashing randomly even though the server and all my CMD log say I have low 20's ping...
From Denmark, tried all possible servers with less than 100ping.

'Unplayable'

It's not PC specs as I'm running on a i9 and 3070ti. In fact CPU levels are below 30% of usage and GPU at the very peak can go to 80% of usage. But the network latency in game, even in the hideout, goes to 3000+ (infinite ms).

Seams a game client/server issue? But I don't see this issue a known issue that GGG is working on, which is concerning.

Anyone that found a relative solution?

VPN solved my problem. i dont know how but this comment from reddit helped me: "It depends on where you live in the world. If you live in Europe the issue is that there is a few real bad nodes on the way to the servers that poe has no control over. Try again with the vpn and do a further away server that could help."
I tried that as well. I feel like, at this point, I’ve tried everything. It seems like this game is far from being optimized or playable in many countries.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

-Updated all drivers and software (graphics, BIOS, Windows, etc.).
-Adjusted all kinds of in-game configurations (even going back to windowed mode with downscaled, low resolution).
-Tweaked various Nvidia settings.
-Used a VPN and network gaming boosters.
-Reinstalled the game (multiple times).

My system specs:
1 Gbps fiber internet
Intel i9
Nvidia RTX 3070

At this point, I really don’t know what else to do.
