GGG fix your eu servers...(Rant warning)
|
Can GGG finally fix EU servers? For years the same issue, sometimes everything is ok... sometimes every few maps you got 10k latency and today this is unplayable!
I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. Few friends of mine stopped playing this game, because they also were getting every few maps 10k ping. Everything else works fine, no issues with other games even in poe2. On reddit and the forum you can also find posts of people complaining about it. Instead of fixing the issue witch stand for years devs are removing crafting bench from poe2 to add runes and sell rune stash tab... sorry, but this was blizard level move Last bumped on Feb 9, 2026, 4:01:49 PM

Returned this league and there is insane lag at peak hours.
Played from two different locations in different cities. Still lag at peak hours. The lag definitely depends on 'instanced' maps. Some maps have no issues at all, running at a beautiful constant low ping. But lately, some maps have a constant 400-500 ping. That's enough ping to travel the world over. I suspect the server allocation for a new instance might not be at your preferred gateway (hideout is almost never laggy). In other words, if you're playing at South Africa gateway, you might get an instance hosted at Australia or America, halfway across the world. There were routing problems with Telia but should be able to bypass that if you're connect east (America) or west (Singapore/Australia). Maybe, PoE2 instances get first preference, [insert more conspiracy theories lol]. |

It's not just laggs, but sometimes there's this insane rubber banding/ teleporting thing.
It's been what, three years now that EU server's have been declining in quality? Yes, we all know routing is a problem in EU during peak hours. But the servers are bad almost constantly regardless of the time of the day. And this is the only online multiplayer game where I've experienced so many networking issues. I couldn't name a single other game where I had such crazy laggs, packet losses and stuff like that. I know we are just screaming into the void and no substantial resources will be allocated to solve this unless people stop buying mtx... But still it would be nice to at the very least see an official post from GGG besides the meaningless "we're looking into" it posts every half a year or so. |

I forgot to mention but with the latest patch update, lockstep is now very laggy with 500 ping maps. Every action is laggy to the point that it is almost impossible to click on anything because your character is constantly moving in circles around what you want to click lol
I've temporarily permanently (lol) switched to predictive until it might be fixed ;) |

It's not even just peak hours, I'm a real nightowl and these problems are still around in the middle of the night. Losing maps and drops to rollbacks is annoying for sure, but DC'ing while rescuing your workers is truly backbreaking.
And I was so happy with the nice new low ping server in Stockholm... |

Game is so deep in RNG that even your ping has to be RNG too
Exploit early exploit often bozos.

They're busy deleting quality posts.

Yesterday I didn't experience any lag at peak hours. This is once in a year experience.
Thank you GGG for upgrading my pleb client to streamer client overnight lol! |

I do have massive latency spikes on various EU Servers all the time aswell. Only occurs when playing Path of Exile 1 and 2.

It is absolutely insane. Every single night Frankfurt server is completely unplayable. 35.000ms lag spikes, you can NOT survive that. It's so frustrating when you're in a one time run temple which you've been waiting for days.
This is unacceptable for game that I HAVE PAID FOR! |
