Early Access Bug Reports - Networking mode in POE 2 - Forum

I did not see any networking mode in the settings for POE 2 and it was stated that we will have 3 types of networking mode in POE 2. I know its EA but it's kind of alarming since Singapore gateway latency is most of the time, all over the place and not sure how good the HongKong gateway will be. It would really be appreciated if support can answer this. Thanks. Last bumped on Jan 27, 2025, 10:03:00 AM	Posted by iMirageX#4580 on Dec 6, 2024, 12:23:18 AM Quote this Post

Thanks Aeroga, that helped a ton. Just so people know, the three modes should be predictive, lockstep or hybrid.	Posted by theshadowcult#0799 on Dec 11, 2024, 9:49:07 AM Quote this Post
Been having similar issues over in us-west, set the networking_type config to `lockstep` and that seemed to have improved the latency spikes.	Posted by parzival#1368 on Dec 16, 2024, 1:08:26 AM Quote this Post
So people messing with this setting are not doing the right thing. It is a connection issue, one not on GGG's end (since you messing about with a setting fixed it) That issue did not go away All changing your network mode dose is change how the game show the latency. Lockstep was added because desync and rubberbanding is a thing that predictive dose, you get bad spikes and your character will "teleport" sometimes just back a bit other times into new rooms or into packs of monsters. Lockstep presents that lag by pausing the game when it's over a threshhold of 100ms, this can be the occasional paus, stuttering or long pause. So the core issue is latency, and you are ignoring the problem, not reporting it to your ISP. Ancestral Bond.

As long as they feel better in game they're doing the right thing. Last edited by FlareStarr#4579 on Dec 17, 2024, 1:36:56 AM	Posted by FlareStarr#4579 on Dec 17, 2024, 1:36:45 AM Quote this Post

Game stuttering was unplayable before.	Posted by ytumer#6153 on Dec 20, 2024, 6:10:03 AM Quote this Post
