PoE 2 Latency Spikes?

Same issue. Unplayable game at the moment. Please GGG, fix this problem.

Same issue as the other peopel in this post, unplayable game
I am also getting a frezz where i cant do nothing and it just go awy after a 5-10 sec, i am not getting kicked, but sometimes i die where i cant do anything.

when i start my game for the first 2 maps i have a ms on 20-30, but after thoese maps it just get.... there i begin to have a Ms on 110-150 and somtimes i am over 200 ms

Please fix this issue

It's impossible to play... the latency issue happens randomly and we still don't have a technical explanation or solution.
I'll be one more player quitting because of your lack of professionalism.
I will pursue a refund for all the money I've spent and seek compensation. Be ready.

hey folks, by any chance you are playing on a laptop, try using an ethernet cable instead of wifi. That perfectly worked for me. the spike was up to 3000-5000ms network latency randomly before using the ethernet cable.

Posting this here as well as in its own thread to attempt to increase visibility and hopefully help some of my fellow Exiles.

Anyone having issues with the game jittering, stuttering, whatever you may call it, that are seeing the "network" performance metric spike every time this occurs I highly recommend the looking at the following links for information on the nature of the problem. They were written in regards to poe1 but are still relevant to this game.

It seems to me the root of the issue is they implemented the networking options but failed to make them visible in game. If you follow the steps below you can mess with your networking mode and it may resolve the issue.
In poe2 there are three options that I'm aware of "auto" which is default, "lockstep" and "predictive".


If you go into Options->Game and click the folder icon next to "Item FIlter"
It will open the folder that contains your configuration settings.

After this folder opens close the game client. You need to restart the game for changes made directly to this file to take effect.

Open "poe2_production_Config.ini" .ini may not be visible depending on your system settings.
You can open ini files with any word processing program, notepad++ is a solid choice.
Within this file about a 4th the way from the top of the page you'll find the following:

[NETWORKING]
networking_type=auto

where the word auto is present, change it to either predictive or lockstep.
examples for those intimidated by manually editing settings like this.

networking_type=predictive
networking_type=lockstep

predictive didnt work for me but lockstep did give it a try

Neither Lockstep nor predictive did anything although my issue is my ISP I have packet loss in peak hours which really messes with this game tons of stutter

No issues in other games interestingly cause most games have way better netcode than this

Only thing that fixes the issue in this game is a gaming VPN called exit lag

So I had a case of massive latency spike upwards of 30k and then crashing to login screen mid map. This has caused me to lose all of the remaining portals.

Lost two maps like this today in one hour. Why are portals gone when crashing to login??

It's been four months now since the livestream they did when they said they were looking to add lockstep/predictive toggled options - nothing since.

Shameful.
