just me? ( strongbox lag )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qtpkg1XXx4

I'm not on ambush but from this youtube video, it seems there's plenty of time to get away, there looks to be delay of 1-2 seconds before the mobs react.

When I open a strongbox, I pop a quartz flask and a QS and run for my life. And then deal with the mobs.
If it has "Arctic", I use a heat flask as well.
Another quality ZAP! post.
Yep, when opened. Freeze, bunch of monsters comes out and kills me before I'm able to move rofl

Everything Looks delayed in that video ...it looks like it's in slow motion



I spent half that video wondering what skill he was using to jump around because I have never seen leap slam go that slow

Well thank you - Strongboxes are unplayable...
I open them, run away...suddenly i am back in the middle of the packs and dead.
Well done - How long is the game online now???

I got rid of not the lag, but at least the freezes by disabling all chat channels before opening a strongbox.
Secondly, you can try to add " -gc 2 " to either the shortcut target of PoE on your desktop or if you use steam in the launch options (in the games list right click Path of Exiles - Properties) to see if it helps.

For opening I recommend to use minions/totems/conversion traps, because it's much more likely to survive when not every single mob focuses the character during the lag.
smoke mine
lightning warp (cast LW, then hit the box)
vaal summon skeletons
freeze mine
Immortal Call (charges permitting)

plenty more I'm sure
I only open boxes with vaal immortal call up

Spoiler
I had this problem for the longest time to the point of not opening any boxes that will spawn an exile (guarantee death). I bought a SSD last week and installed POE on it, boot up (of the game) time went from 3-5 mins. to 30 secs or less, instances in about 10 sec., and most importantly zero lag from opening boxes. Everything is so much snappier.
