"This is what GGG recommends to do when the lag, high ping, packet loss, or connection issues are happening. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1377789 After running this test per the instructions please link the URL of the pastebin back here Last edited by Eleven777#0993 on Aug 20, 2025, 9:58:05 AM

Seems like they have mostly given up on poe 1 now that poe 2 is launched.

So, interestingly - and, unfortunately, there actually appears to be two issues manifesting in your log.
Problem #1: Packet Loss " Problem #2: Latency Increase " The first problem is the most significant, and definitely where we should initially focus our troubleshooting. Your computer sent 830 echo requests to the router in your home, and received 830 responses. This is good - it means none of them got lost in transit. Immediately after your router, however, packet loss creeps in and no node throughout the rest of the file successfully sends a response to every echo request your computer produces. As this appears immediately after your own router, logic dictates we should initially focus on that device - at least until such time it has been ruled out. Blizzard Entertainment has a support article here: https://support.blizzard.com/en/article/31851 Please follow the step-by-step instructions there to carry out what is known as a 'power cycle'. If the issue persists after you have done this, we'll need a new WinMTR log for further troubleshooting. |

Yeah, it seems like something broken on their end.
Done an MTR and I dont experience any packet loss until it's at the POE servers, it's so bad today that I can't even get across my hideout properly |

Just adding that I'm seeing the same with lon01.login.pathofexile.com.
Shocking latency in most instances. Maybe one instance out of every 10 has "normal" ping - usually ~16-20ms. To me this indicates something in the PoE servers - probably downsized resources as they focus elsewhere. I've actually raised an issue with my ISP who have detected a local problem outside my home BUT the PoE unplayability doesn't impact WoW or LE... " |

" Th-... That's not how it works. GGG uses the same server provider to host both POE1 and 2 servers, which can be easily traced by pinging the actual servers when you're in game. The same lags that you get here, you will also get in POE2, because their choice of a host has been to cut costs, not to provide reliable service, for as long as I can remember (and you can see that I've been here for quite a bit). Sitting in HO spamming alts for 4 hours straight is peak PoE gameplay. Thanks, Chris. Last edited by Ydoum#5726 on Aug 22, 2025, 1:53:34 PM

I tried London Server and yup, lagged like mad, so switched to Amsterdam, been fine since

I have been having the exact same problems over the exact same timescale as the OP using the London server.
Thanks to Eag1e's suggestion I switched to the Frankfurt server and I'm not getting any lag at all. |
