Lag spikes

Hello, i've been experiencing lag spikes alot. it goes from 4 ms to 20 to 1000. Usually when i open the map, when i cast skills or when i walk. First i thought its related to fps drops. But i realized its the ping because i have high end pc with decent settings and compared that to my friend's pcs.

This is the only game im having this issue. All my drivers are updated. I even disabled ipv6, tried so many things on the internet. None of them worked.

How can i fix this ?

First let's get some certainty on whether it's a framerate issue or a latency problem.

Please post a screenshot of Path of Exile 2, with the full suite of performance metrics visible, taken during one of the spikes so we've greater insight into what's going on.

Having spent thousands of euros on Path of Exile over the years, I will not be further supporting it financially until and unless GGG resumes offering Technical Support.
