Ping spikes to 8000-10000 every 2-4 minutes, consistent for the past 12 hours

GGG Team what did you smoked?

I mean for real, your announcement on steam:

"The launch of Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame over the weekend was one of our smoothest launches ever."

Good one!
I have the same problem in some maps ,getting kicked from server and infinite lag

I have the same problem
In some specific places on maps, latency increases very much.
It doesn't come from me just moving, it comes from me coming to a certain point on the map. At the end of the video, I move to the beginning of the map - there are no lags and there were no.
This also happened in acts.
This also happened in areas of theft.
This happens on random maps, not just the one in the video.
This happens on any server.
This happens with any settings, changing the networking mode does not change anything.
This has been happening since the beginning of the current league.

MTR i let ir run for like 3-4min

It's insane this isn't fixed yet.

I haven't even finished campaign.

I have tried every single solution I could find on this issue (Increased Nvidia shader cache to 100GB , tried dx 12 and Vulcan , reset network in Win 11 , switched servers , ran sfc /scannow to see if OS had issues , added POE to bitdefender exclude list , deleted all shader files and recompiled , deleted all Path .txt files and completely reset all settings to default as a last resort) and still random huge lag spikes , despite being on 1.5 gb fiber optic internet.

This might be my shortest league ever , which sucks because I genuinely loved the build and its progression. In 3 years playing this , this is the worst I have seen this game perform , 3.26 ran FLAWLESS.

I have little patience for this kind of stuff.
Still not fixed. Servers are unstable, anytime you go near breach shaders are corrupted, and then your latency rises until it crashes you to the main menu. This issue has been present since the launch and remains unresolved.
sad to say but i have same spikes issue in map, you will lose XP fast at high tier map with this bug it s definitely not a good way to play the game, and i ve tried all servers same pb

ofc i ve done a lot of things to try to correct that, maybe disable sound in game is the better thing but not sure at all... it s been ages that sounds is a huge pb in POE...
I really want to play. But it is so hard. my latency will rise up to 30k or more then goes DC. No problem in towns though.

It would be nice to get some kind of update on this.
