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

I managed to resolve my issue. Keep in mind that the internet for the most part, seemed fine at my house. It's just that poe2 was unplayable due to the constant freezes and time warps. My router was getting old, so I decided to upgrade it, but it didn't help at all. I ran all kinds of internet tests online, speed test, jitter test, stability test, etc. Most of the time the tests seemed to return ok results, but sometimes the results were very bad. I have Spectrum internet and used their automated text support to see if it could help. I talked to an AI bot and it tried resetting my modem, which made things run better for a few minutes, but then went bad again. I went and ran all the tests again, over and over. Finally, I got the bot to check my signals after I told it that resetting my modem didn't help and bypassing my router didn't help. The bot was able to detect that something was off with my signal and offered to send a tech. A tech came out and fixed it in 30mins. It turns out there was a wiring/connection issue at my house that was randomly causing interference with the modem and screwing up my connection. The game runs like butter now. Hope this helps someone else because it was very annoying.
Hi!

This problem still exists. Having these same constant lag spikes in PoE2. No issues with PoE1 or other games.

Played PoE2 in the original launch for some time and didn't have any issues like this. Now that I have more time once again, I wanted to come back and see what kind of content has been added to the game, but sadly it's in unplayable condition at the moment. Will try again later, depending on PoE1 timeline ^^

The cpu lag spikes are due to that...

They would have to acknowledge it to do that...

This problem exists literally since the 1st day of EA, i bet the devs are having a hard time trying to track this down, but i hope they do it soon bcs it's super annoying
no idea if this problem existed years ago or not
the only thing i know is that i started experiencing this issue day 1 after the "loot" patch, been playing dawn of the hunt just fine at 25-30ms before the update and i haven't changed ethernet cable/isp or any pc part either so it's not on me
Is there anything forthcoming about this? I can play anywhere but my home network, where I am constantly seeing lag spikes despite everything else being fine on my network and other games I play not having this issue.
if the lag spikes were up to 60-70ms sure i'm not complaining, i can work with it
but going from stable 20-30ms to 150ms feels as if your character was underwater, it is impossible to play and let's not talk about avoiding oneshots
Hello everyone I have become aware that typing the chat command into the game /clear fixes stuttering / lag issues. Hope it helps!
