Good ping but bad lantency

Hi,

I'm struggling the network issues.
I have a good network connection (GB),
On the login screen I have have good pings on servers around me (50ms)
But once logged in the latency is over 300!!!

I have tried both network modes (footstep, predictive), I can feel be better experience in predictive mode, but not really optimal as even if I move smoothly, the felling is very unpleasant on every other aspect of the game (inventory, picking up an item, even killing monster is async ...)

I have also tried other servers (~100-200ms) on the logging screen, but exactly the same latency once connected (almost 400ms).

I don't see what I could do on my side, it's been over a year since I haven't been able to play the game, but I didn't remember this was that bad.

I don't feel like I could enjoy playing the game.
Had the same experience when I wanted to try POE2 on the open day a few weeks ago.

Thanks of any help.

Facing the same issue. Was kinda worried no1 ingame was complaining about this.
I'm still having the issue,
On login screen, the game tells me I have 42ms ping to South Africa servers. (I'm in reunion island so this is the closest)
But once logged in I'm over 400ms ... unplayable.
Almost same for singapour 112ms -> 350ms
I have better result if I select Paris 180ms -> 230ms in game (most of the time)
For singapor, I manage to have better ingame ping when forcing new instances 2-3 times, some time doing this I manage to have an instance at around 120ms !
This does not seems to work when selection SF servers ...

So this seems to be related to servers
Any acknowledge from GGG on this issue?
No
