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

...this really is getting increasingly frustrating, especially since there is no response whatsoever from GGG.

PoE2 seems like fantastic game - yet I cannot enjoy it :(

EDIT: nvm about utilisation, i just disabled Nvidia's shadowplay and it seems that it fixed it. Smth propably with Nvidia's drivers, that causes the stutter, at least in my case. I can confirm it, re-enabling Shadowplay makes the game stutter again, so for now i think i'll leave it disabled for PoE2.


So how can You explain, that the game is working well with streaming on discord enabled, and stutters when disabled, despite no change in graphics settings? Adding to that, yesterday, before patch, on exactly same settings it was stable without any stuttering at all. Argument with GPU utilisation is IMHO bit invalid.

Other than that, my friend has zero stutters after patching the game, while having mostly the same PC setup (CPU and mobo), with the only diffo being my 4070 SUPER and his 3090 TI Supreme.

I would rather bet on some game/engine optimisations being made in current patch.

Before update all was smooth and buttery.

Weird thing, but my stutters stabilised after i started streaming on Discord to show my friend, how the game works after morning patch xD
Since then it is buttery smooth.

I doubt that'll fix the issue for good, but maybe it'll help as workaround.

Your network graph is fine when your GPU graph have spikes. White graph show your fps spikes. So, I think something wrong with how game utilize your GPU. Try to limit FPS in game settings.

this is getting to frustrating. can you fix your fucking network issues GGG ?!?!?! a week now almost and not a single word from anyone about this.

Do you mean you are a popular streamer and have this issue? I can't find on twitch any popular streamers with stutters in the game.

So i tried everything every setting possible to man PC is fine but i get network spikes like crazy normally i have like 20 ping then 300ms

look at that its fkd anyone a clue how to fix ?

Been having it happen since the start , sometimes i can play..maybe 10-30m ( if im lucky), others...when i zone in from log in..1k+ network lag.

No word on this from ggg means im going to do other games/poe1 till something changes , no point is playing " how long can i play if i can play" lol

Anyone else tried the "New Instance" (through STRG + leftlick in a Waypoint) fix? Still works for me everytime I do it.

Hopefully there is a way for GGG to automate it, so we dont have to do it manually every time. At least me and my friends can play without lags now.

Nope sadly doesn't work for me

Bummer. My friend and I used this method again today, with a 100% success rate. On 2 occasions, we had to create 2 new instances to get it to work, but it always worked in the end.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to play at all.

I have the same issue it started on December 11th around 7pm est. On XBOX series X, I only started playing December 10th but I didn't have any issues the first day, completely unplayable now. Game was a blast so far until I couldn't play anymore!
