PoE 2 Latency Spikes?

I know this has been mentioned before and others are having similar issues, but like everyone else, I'd like to start enjoying the game without this issue.

Here are my basic specs:

Windows 10, 6 cores, 32 gigs of RAM, 50 mbps connection

Have had no issues like this for a long while with PoE 1.

Just started playing PoE 2 as soon as Early Access came out, and 60% of the time, it runs well.

But I get these seemingly random latency spikes, where it goes from a standard and consistent 30 ms or so all the way up to 100-500, and sometimes, it just keeps climbing up into the tens of thousands. When this happens, of course, the game starts visibly stuttering, sometimes quite a bit.

Sometimes it goes away on its own. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I restart the game, and everything's fine for a while, and sometimes it starts happening again.

Any ideas on why this happens and a fix? Thanks.

hey so we were having the same issue with latency spiking randomly causing the game to lag. Saw someone mention about changing the wifi settings and heres what we did:

we went into
1. Device manager
2. Device properties on the WiFI card eg Intel Wi-Fi 6
3. then advanced tab,
4. then under property select the 802.11a/b/g Wireless Mode
5. Then we changed that from Dual band a/b/g to just 5GHz 802.11a (which was at the top)
6. Click ok and start the game

its working perfectly now for us! woo hoo

Holy fuck that worked! This should be put as official solution!
Thanks man! you don't know how much this means to me!!!!

unfortunately didn't work for me

Yeah MS Spikes mostly happen at nightime been like that for 3 weeks for me 50% of the time i can play 50% of the time i get up to 1K ms spikes its legit unplayable changing servers sometimes helps but i have to play in 150+ MS servers in order to at least enjoy the game, but worry not i guess they would nerf every good build in the game and leave the servers like that for months cuz why not.

Worked for me...for today at least. I hope this would be the real solution. Thanks bro!!

I have same problem but I dont use wifi , I use cable connection for my internet. When I checked what you said in device manager there is no wireless driver. I guess this is something normal but how else I can fix this ? let me know please only way to play game is connect to my phone's internet with USB cable.. Thats terrible.
