Ps5 PoE 2 lag issues

I play both on PC and PS5.

PS5 Does in fact freeze and go constantly. I have had zero issues on
PC.

I can't play this game on my PS5, lagging every 3-5 seconds..... Hard to hit anything or even fight the intro boss.... $140-150 for an unplayable beta.

No other game is like this and my internet is fine.

I hope this gets fixed, shame I can't get a refund on PSN.

I've been having the same issue on PS5. No issues over the weekend at all. Stuttering, lag, rubberbanding, freezing, and crashing to title screen only started on the evening of Dec. 9 after the game was patched. Not sure if it's related to the patch since I was at work that day; however, it's a little too frustrating to play right now.

Other than the stuttering and crashing, I'm really looking forward to playing more of this game once fixed. Good luck and thanks, GGG. 🙂

Hi today the game is not working it is lagging like crazy I hope you fix this problem because it is not possible to play like this

this is the problem in the video.

Same problem with me on ps5! There are no rules, I enter the map, everything is fine, I die, the lag starts. I go to the map next to it, it works normally, I go back to the map, lag.

Something in the latest console patch broke the game. Can't play for more than 10 minutes without the game crashing now.

So I'm not the only one lagging and stuttering, and GGG is ignoring the issue so far as they did for POE.


That's a shame.

Im having the same issues, its atm unplayable for me on ps5. The first time i played, saturday during launch weekend i had no issues. As others have said, after the first patch something happened and the lagging started.

I spoke to a PSN friend who also plays poe2 and he is having no issues at all, i was quite surprised by that. This issue is really strange, also does not matter which server im connected to either.

I hope GGG can fix this very soon.

So for anyone who is facing an issue with high ms spikes and lags on PS5, this is what helped to me:

1. Go to main screen
2. Go to Settings > Game
3. Select the Gateway closest to your location instead of Auto
4. Login into your character
5. When you are in game, go to a new map location or clear the current map location and enter as a new.

Step #5 is required as the old current map is still on the "Auto" server which causes lags if it's not the closest one to you.

Hope it helps
