Instance specific lag spikes

Since starting playing today, both my housemate and I have been experiencing horrific lag spikes and desync, but only in specific instances. We are working round this by recreating instances till we get a non laggy one.

I have not been able to test on another connection, but the fact that it only occurs in some instances and not others leads me to believe it is server side.

Is this a known problem?
I'm having the same issue, and PoE eventually crashes due it.
Realy dangerous for me as im in bloodlines.

Get some weird FPS/lagg spikes no idea what causes it.


I've read that some others also have this issue, and as far as i know there's no fix yet.
happens during weekends when the servers are full. thing is, the only thing that fixes it is server maintenance after it occurs. it never happened before patch 1.3 and im sure the game popularity was as high 1 or 2 patches back. cant really be sure about that though.

it's the 2nd weekend im expriencing this aswell. game is not playable. for some networks they dont get affected by it. got a friend who's playing without issues and he using a diffrent network provider.
This is now getting worse if anything, seems I am far from the only one experiencing it. At a guess dodgy routing to a specific instance server.

GGG please can you resolve, as this is now unplayable - I am having to abandon maps as soon as I step in if it is a laggy one.
Hi there,

Can you please post or PM me an excerpt from your Client.txt log (in your path of exile directory) when this happens?
pm sent, debug information below for reference for others as well:

I had connected to two instances, both of which were laggy so ported out, before logging off.

Based on this, the problematic IPs are:

37.58.74.232 and 37.58.74.227

The 37.58.67.221 would have been my hideout.

WinMTR shows no packet loss between me and the 37.58.74.232 server (below)
