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

Bumping this thread..
I am near ready to just uninstall, its that bad. I network latency spikes from 30ish to over 300 and pausing the game. I feel like i am playing a stop motion game.
I'm also experiencing this regularly - and decided to make my own post about this with a ping trace log.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3742151/page/1#p26031033

I really want to get this fixed because i love this game :(
bump, I get stutters every few secs since 0.2

Also it's weird, it looks like it's server side. In every other game the stutter is almost instant and still noticeable, in PoE 2 since the 0.2 patch for me, the stutters are like almost half a second long where the screen just freezes in place when i use an ability, then resumes

feels more like quick game pauses than actual stuttering

edit: my ping shoots up every time the "stutter" happens, every few seconds. makes no sense

Hello,

Over the past week, I was experiencing persistent stuttering issues and tried several troubleshooting steps without success. Eventually, I enabled IPv6 on my Ethernet adapter and configured Google’s public DNS within the IPv6 settings. To my surprise, the lag disappeared completely. I'm not an expert in networking, so I'm not entirely sure why this resolved the issue—but it worked. If you're facing similar problems, this might be worth trying.

Im on EU.

(It was a fluke, 1 hour without and now LAG IS BACK GOD DAMN IT)

Please update if you fix yours somehow.

Pressing F1 and watching my network bar go up and down like some music equalizer is nasty.
Really hope GGG is fixing this asap, this is taking away all the fun.

nonstop 0 to 100+ ms up and down.
in some areas it's stable but in most areas it's wildly fluctuating.
I'm on a fiber network as well without wifi.
Been happening to me since the game came out, also happens to me on POE 1. Only games on my computer that do this. So frustrating.
Same for me, but since start of early access.
In my case ping stay stable but I have a lot of stuttering, my frames drop from 144 to 30-50 in strongboxes, expedition, breach and delirium.

Tried a lot of things and no solution, the only thing that improves a little bit is lossless scaling software.

It's 100% on servers, even more in EU. In fact, yesterday was unplayable in most of EU servers and I tried Washington, almost no fps drops unless crazy stuff in screen and game working smooth even with 200ms.

I'm always supporting the game since beta release of poe1. I will not support anymore untill performance is deeply solved.

Still an issue. Are we even ever going to have this addressed by staff?
