Continuous Stuttering/Lag Despite Stable FPS and Internet in PoE 2 Early Access

Happening to me since yesterday. I also switched from SSF to Standard, yesterday.

Standard only issue?
Had the same issue. 160+ Ping all the time since few days.

After i cleared the Shader Cache at "%APPDATA%/Path of Exile 2" the ping was fine again. Im back to 12ms now. Idk maybe just luck but give it a try :)
game was perfectly good for the first few days, then started getting unplayable lag spikes, tried turning down all graphics changing to vulkan then back to dx12

nothing works

but the game WAS working very early

now it is a ton of stress to even attempt to play it, even the game loading up at the login screen has really bad lag

all my other games confirm that it has nothing to do with my internet, theres no lag spikes on other games

i thought it was improved when i closed down the trade webpage (something you have to use to get anywhere in trade league) but it was in reality just a few minutes where the lag spikes werent obvious, as soon as I ran a citadel today it was ridiculous with the game pausing multiple times and unfreezing for a few seconds

had terrible lag in the bossfight and lost, complete waste of time even attempting to play poe 2 atm, i have all settings on low, everything set for performance stability, nothing else running on my PC

same BS keeps happening

it is to the extent that I will NOT load up PoE2 to play until I have seen that there has been a fix to this insane problem

literally only going to load up and refresh this forum every few hours, not touching PoE 2 until it is solved

never encountered this amount of BS from PoE 1 in at least 8 years for playing it
I have the same problem, started yesterday.
Everytime i do a breach the game starts lagging with network spikes from 20-1000ms
Please bring back predictive mod already this is unbearable

I have lag issues since yesterday (isnt the first time). It is a server-side issue, some instances work perfectly fine, others are unplayable. At this point it is worse than a coin flip to get a instance on a "uncorrupted" server.
YEP, today it is unplayable. as soon as i move, even in the hideout, it spikes to ~300ms. resulting in rubber banding and stutters
