High Lag Spikes on Texas Server
|
I am experiencing large lag spikes every few seconds while on the Texas server. I also tried to fix this by moving to other servers and saw no improvement. Moving from Auto to Lockstep or Predictive has had no effect, both have the same performance.
The game shows my normal ping of ~15ms in the graphs, but it spikes to well over 500ms every few seconds. My computer shows to only be using 40% GPU and 15-20% CPU while playing, so I don't think it can be hardware issues (like some of the old PoE issues where bad framerate showed as lag).

Your computer’s hardware specs won’t cause lag spikes.
Please post a WinMTR log. There is a guide here. GGG do not offer first-party Technical Support.

Having the same exact issue. Hope they find the problem. Can't progress like this.

I’m also having this issue. My issue is packet loss to pathofexile.com only. I can ping any server and I get no pl. if I tracert pathofexile.com I get timeouts at the Dallas cloudflare hop. You should do the same and report back. If you don’t know how to do it open command prompt .run as admin then type
Tracert pathofexile.com To check packet loss do Ping pathofexile.com I called my isp and they said it’s not on their end. I think it’s the Dallas cloudflare hop. I have no idea if there’s a way to reroute the hop but if anyone knows that would be great. Also bungie.net uses the same hop and I get timeouts on Dallas cloudflare as well. |

Did this get resolved? I just noticed this today -- i'm getting huge lag spikes to US Texas.

Bumping this as I've been playing the BPL and ran into the same issue across every US realm. I go to London, 140ms, but smooth as it can be. I go to Canada East, 80ms or so, and also smooth.
Any US realm I tried or group I joined, it was just a lagging slideshow of latency spikes. I thought I had done something to fix it befofe I took a break before BPL but I guess the Washington DC realm I landed on back then is just slightly better for me than the other US Realms. But that was also on Predictive. Whereas London and Canada East I can play on Lockstep with minimal issues. /e I'll just toss in that I've been playing other games, too, and zero latency / ping issues. It's only for PoE.

10am US central time here. I got set up to run the WinMTR thing and Texas is now currently as smooth as it was in crucible league. We'll see if it lasts as people come home for work as it's most notable when the 9-5'ers (usually me too) log in.

About 3pm US Central time and Texas server started lagging again

Bumping for clarity hopefully. Would like to know what the devs are looking at specifically.
