Massive Latency Spikes

Still getting spikes when something happends that need to communicute with the server. (A lot of mobs, attack exchange etc.)
Fps is at full all the times.
Only latency goes up from 30-40 to 2000MS+
Same here - with all that lag spikes the game become literrally unplayable.
Reloading the location somehow fix the problem but its unusable when going on maps or challenges.
GGG please fix this.
I have the same problem since two or three days ago. Before then I could play just fine, now it's unplayable. The game will freeze for a few seconds, buffering all actions, then fast forward, then freeze again etc.

Having same issues, tried all various mentioned fixes in multiple threads and no success for me, has been terrible since the 2nd or 3rd day but managed to negotiate the campaign reloading fresh instances, but the problem is that is not possible at maps which makes the game completely unplayable, hope with all the beta cash grabs some is invested into networking as this currently is beyond a joke. Is worse in the evenings but can happen anytime of day or night. Everything else I have works fine, except POE2, so clearly a GGG Issue.

Posting the only solution I've found so far here like I did in the other main forum: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3597548/page/88#p25722724

I had to pay $60 for an Exitlag subscription just to swap my routing to a new server without packet loss or latency spikes just to fix this issue. No lag for 3 days now and the game is pristine. GGG really needs to get on top of this...no idea why it's radio silence over acknowledgement of this problem.
Played for about 20 minutes with a friend today with no issues. As soon as he left the party my network latency started spiking to 300-2000ms again.

ETA: Restarted client, still lagging. Deleted shader caches and restarted - stopped lagging.


How do shader caches cause network lag?

I'm also having serious lag issues and only on POE2. and I also posted here:

I love the game but the lag spikes are making it very difficult to play and I'm looking for help to fix it if possible please.

I have basically what this post says:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/2694490/discussions/0/598513360098648827/?ctp=2

My PC Specs:
Intel i-9 11900KF
RTX 3070

I am on wireless and I do see lag spikes. The game will basically freeze then fast forward or just lag and move forward really quickly. Getting a wired connection isn't going to be possible and I have zero problem with lag on any other game.

I'm on wireless and getting about 250Mbps. Is there anything I can do to fix it. I saw people try exit lag but that didn't help.
Same for me and its unplayable for me right now until the problem gets solved by GGG..
Still unplayable.
Constant network spikes still, doesn't matter which server. (EU)


GGG Would you please at least acknowledge this?!
