Edit 2:

I tried a LOT of things. Nothing works.
Then I just read:
"https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/53692g/every_so_often_the_game_will_just_freeze_as_if/d7qeq6s"
As a result went predictive and the stutter is gone.
Note the latency spikes are still present but the game feels playable now. I don't have those micro-freeze anymore.
Considering people from al over the world are affected since 2 patch ago or so I am betting on option "b" as described by chris :p.

I'm also having the same problem. It makes the game pretty much unplayable by taking away all the fun. I'd like to remember that there once were that moment of butter smooth gameplay but now all that I can remember is that horrid madness of gameplay.
I really don't want to put myself through this.
GGG, fix your shit
also getting MASSIVE latency spikes and random disconect, fix servers plox
same. fix.
I'm getting lots of DC too T_T

ALL TE TIME! I've checked out the forums and followed all of the advice trying to fix the problem, but it just doesn't work at all! Does GGG already gave an awnser for this annoying problem?
I like how they are ignoring this... friend just died on EHC because of the same issue everyone else in here is having.
Also I get random DC all the time.
Impressive that GGG hasn't even replied to this issue. I can't play on EHC because of random 4 second freezing, after which I see my game catching up to the server.
Same here. I'm just standing in my hideout, sometimes moving and those random latency spikes occurs all the time. It freezes screen for fractions of seconds then it's back to 30ms and after second or two same thing again. It's like slideshow sometimes.

Here are some screenshots:

Hello everyone ,

i started playing the game a couple of days ago and at first it was smooth as butter at 70 ping ,,, then after a few hours of playing it all ... well you know the rest ..

i have been trying to fix it for days .. and i found a solution that not everyone may like , the game was unplayable at 1600+ lag spikes but now i sacrificed some ping to make it playable , i just used a VPN to play the game at 120~ ping ... this fixed everything for me and it is temporary till i find another fix ^^ , i dont think most will like this because of the ping but hey .. i can play the game xp (i used a vpn called Batternet (they should pay me for advertising xD) also if any of you finds one with better ping .. you know what to do xp ) ... also give me all you free gems im a lvl 14 poor which ;-; jk ... ow and im gonna post this comment everywhere ^^ .
Guess im too late for the train but i ripped 4 days ago my 35ex assreacher build for this exactly issue, 1s lag spike in the wrong time and when my fps came back --- dead. And there goes the enjoyment of this league for me. Not coming back anymore for more rips because fps/ping spike lag. AMD 5970, i5-2500k @ 4.2ghz, z68A-GD80 board, ddr3.
