Constant lag spikes

I am also experiencing huge lag spikes. Tested everything and its not on my end.

Hopefully dev team fixes

I started experiencing this today after the patch - ping just spikes to 4000-5000 every 2-3 minutes.

i had the same issue and it disappeared when i switched to DLSS for some reason. i know it sounds weird but it helped me.

i am also having this issue. i hoper it will be adressed as it makes the game hard to enjoy

I have the same issue. Every 2-3 seconds my latency spikes from 10ms to 500ms and I can't do boss fights. Unplayable.

The intermittent lag spikes are very frustrating. At first I thought it was on my end since the day-1 launch did not have this problem.

I tested out the issue by connecting to London-EU and pinging www.bbc.com during my gaming session. The servers should be in roughly the same area, so the response times should be equivalent.

When I was hitting the big latency spikes between 200-800ms from GGG's server, I was still getting sub 20ms response times from BBC's servers. So it is definitely an issue with GGG's infrastructure.

same; from 23ms to 15000. every 5-100seconds...

Hey Exiles,

I’ve been struggling with an issue in Path of Exile 2 lately, and I’m hoping someone here might have some advice or solutions. The game has been lagging constantly, making it almost unplayable at times, but here’s the weird part: my ping is absolutely fine (usually around 20–30ms, stable).

What’s Happening:

My character feels super sluggish, with constant rubberbanding and delayed actions.

Sometimes enemies freeze and suddenly teleport, or my skills take forever to cast.

FPS seems steady most of the time, but there are occasional frame drops, especially in more crowded areas or during intense fights.

My Setup:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: RTX 3080 Ti
RAM: 32GB DDR4
Internet: 100 Gbps fiber connection (ethernet, not Wi-Fi).
Ping: A stable 20–30ms.
Drivers: All updated to the latest versions.
Windows Version: 11

What I’ve Tried So Far:

Checked for background applications eating up bandwidth or CPU/GPU resources.

Adjusted graphics settings (even tried lowering everything to the bare minimum).

Switched servers in-game, but the lag persists no matter which one I pick.

Disabled dynamic resolution and any advanced graphics features.

Checked for packet loss using WinMTR – none detected.

Verified game files through Steam and even reinstalled the game.

Possible Causes I’m Considering:

Could this be a desync issue related to the game’s server-client interaction?

Is the game poorly optimized right now for high-end PCs?

Something with AMD processors/GPU compatibility?

I know it’s still early in PoE2’s lifecycle, so there might be bugs, but this lag issue is making the game borderline unplayable despite my hardware and network being more than capable.

Has anyone else experienced this? If you’ve managed to fix it, please share your solution or insights. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

The game is unplayable at the moment.

As soon as i login to character on eg. London server(50ms) my network bar(green) starts rising upto 20k+. game is not frozen i can click menus but frozen due to high latency. i have gig internet everything is working normal except the game.

it does not get fixed until i logout to server select screen and log back in.


sometimes it takes 4-5 login to get stable latency, other times its just 10k+ and game does not respond.
