Path Of Exile 2 Ping Problem


When I teleport to a new map or enter the game, my ping starts increasing infinitely. During these instances, the loading screens take 3-4 times longer than usual. I didn't have this issue in the first weeks, but it started occurring later, even though I haven't changed any settings. When I use a VPN, the problem disappears, but the high ping makes the game unplayable.

i am playing on Moscow gateway,checked the logs and i noticed that sometimes i am getting connected to German instance instead of Moscow one and because of it i am getting massive latency spikes. only fix for me is refresh the zone till proc a instance server that is matching the gateway i picked when login XD.

Connecting to instance server at 162.62.214.180:21360
Connect time to instance server was 62ms

Connecting to instance server at 91.206.197.206:21360
Connect time to instance server was 32ms

first one is Frankfurt , second is Moscow. Same zone. pressed respawn at checkpoint. instance changed to German one XD


i tested in PoE 1 , no problems , restarted the zone like 15 times stable ping.
This issue also happens to me all the time. I was able to reset my instance during the campaign but its a 50/50 chance on when I load a map in the endgame on wether I get a good server or one that my ping climbs to the thousands. Im not sure how I can fix this.
Well its not 50/50 in my part. Its more like 80% astronomical ping and 20% below 50ms. I checked everything on my end and its fine. Dota2 and Apex are stable. I tried HK, Japan, Austria, Singapore and its all the same for me with unplayable ping most of the time. Makes me sad that i cant even play the game after work with the server issues im having.
