Workaround for now:
Use a VPN connection, to get around the problematic hops between the (for example) Deutsche Telekom and Level3 servers that connect to the game servers.

I used https://hide.me/ because they offer a free VPN trial (with maximum 2GB transfer volume).
As its only a solution for a few days, till the congested hop is fixed, you don't need a premium vpn service.

But be careful, if you start the VPN client, all your internet traffic will be routed through the VPN. So I wouldn't use online banking or something like that.

Ping-wise I get a ~16-17 ping (Deutsche Telekom FTTH connection), through hide.me VPN Netherlands server and Amsterdam PoE server. For the short time I tried it till now, game was very playable.

Game is playable. Ping is a little higher than without VPN (usual 16 compared to ~30 via VPN) and there is a lag every ten minutes or so. But definately playable.


Works for me, thank you sir! Hopefully this issue is solved till the 2 gb are consumed.

Wouldnt use a VPN for another game than poe, feel complimented ggg!

yes VPN works with me thx for the Tip
back to HC :D
hi, i also got the lag/latency-spike problem since about a week ago or so (on every eu-server, the others are "out of reach" because of the relativly high regular ping from there). I checked the package loss, tried it via wireless and cable and the general connection but everything is totally fine. Its just for poe and that in an insane time-window. I sincerely hope it gehts fixed before the 1-month starts. I really would love to play it normally.

And in regard of lockstep, its dead atm. unplayable and in no comparison to predictive, which is also really a pain with a 70-200 ping and spikes till no end.

When I connect from Europe to the australian server I get a high latency like 400 for me, but it is absolutely stable, coincidence?
problems with HUGE lags here as well, ping between 40 and 1000, only since this week. additional disconnects every day. it was NOT like this before... its unplayable and im definetly not using a VPN tunnel to play a game that worked before without. GGG should look into it...
I'm really concerned about the fact that there is literally no reaction from ggg side.

The fun with playing this wonderful game is limited by this technical flaw. Especially with the new "Lockstep" mode which I really enjoyed - it is horrible to see your character lagging around. You don't know if a command has been send to the server or was lost on its way.

I would really love to at least see an answer like like "Okay, we are aware of the problem and we're working on it". But there is no reaction.
This network problem has to be fixed or the game is dead for German customers.


again, could only start playing the game from ~1:30am + in the night

over the whole day the packetloss is between 40-60% which means spikes every 3-4secs for pings over 1000.

i called my isp and they of course dont even know what iam talking about and told me a technican will call me back the next day.... no one ever called me back.

VPN workaround is confirmed from my side.

Works just fine. Package loss stops as soon as VPN connection is established.

Still, I would really like someone from ggg to have a look into it (at least tell us what to tell the ISP or identify whether they have to do something or the ISP).

Can't be a permanent solution to toggle on VPN for gaming.
