Constant lag spikes

Thanks for posting this. Been having the same issue since patch as well. Thanksfully it wasn't just me getting this lag spikes

made my own post

same here. I switched from DC to TX. no help. it still spikes every 2 seconds average. I turned the graphics to low/none and it didn't change anything.

Here's another on Frankfurt.

bumping this thread same exact thing happening to me.. Washington dc . GGG where are you now that I need you

This shit is still getting me killed. Can't use predictive or I rubberband and die, can't use lockstep or I freeze and die.

Same happening to me, but with much less frequency. Only 1-2x per half hour do i get a bad lag spike.

Same problem for me on Amsterdam server, lag spikes every 5-10s, just too risky to go on map...

Ping goes from 75 to 250-500, so i just can't play atm :(

I also get lag and disconnected.

Never experienced that bad lag since i play PoE (back in 2012, with some breaks in between), with the start of Patch 2.1 and the Talisman leage.


But now my Observations and Gaming rig info:

System:
-CPU: Xeon E3 1231V3 (8 logical cores) / 6GB DD3 RAM (temporary,normaly 8GB) /WIN 10 / GTX 750 (2GB VRAM)
-I use always the fastest gateway: 32ms in my case in the same country/continent

What i have done to solve this and it didnt worked:

-Completly Deinstalled NVIDIA Experience
-Changed graphic settings from high to very low / vsync deactivated
-Lockstep or predictive dont help
-Changed the registry key- value NetworkThrottlingIndex from A(10) to FFFFFFFF under key

-Run compatibility mode for Win7/Win8

Lag observations:

Lag happens when you enter a new area outside of player hubs and activate auras:


When encountering NPC'entities:


Lag with entities and ground effects:


In player hubs like Sarn cities with much MTX/effects and moving entities:


It can be easly reproduced if you just run around in player hubs:


In areas with no other moving entities or (moving)ground effects, like Eternal Laboratory (you can run circles around the map device) the lag spikes and the frame rate are more stable over a longer time:



The lags have mainly nothing to do with player's gaming rigs and the true problem are bad performing gateways /backbones in the countries around the world.
Yeah, this bad performance didnt affected PoE in the past like the patch 2.1, which could be an indication that the new netcode is less tolorant with higher then usual packet losses.
