General Discussion - Any word on insane ping and lag issue? - Forum

Since no one answered the question, I looked, the devs seem obsessed with fixing a sound error, and not touching the lag issue that's cropped up. Did you do this: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1377789 ? Where does the high ping start or none at all, while still having a high ping in game? If the ping starts to get high before it reaches the last hop/server, then it has absolutely nothing to do with POE. If the ping is only high at the server maybe it's on poe, most likely on the people who maintain the servers. If you don't have any high pings, but high latency in the game then voila, it's most likely the software on the servers. Your common sense its absolutely nefastus. 98 friends on my list never pass or scratch the 78ms latency. Im going to give you a clue: if you swapp from an instance to a new one then you'll have the answer on ur display: from 90 till 1224ms and game will crash it certainly. So there is no theories than the only one which affects out of your PC: the ddcs of server and the packs losting all time, which never happen before the semi-big pack of update. @execreth - @eledhyr - @arthasspaw - @edherisctf - @douchebagontheway_hd @the_pest - @ioneshotbosses_eightkai	Posted by Execreth#1879 on Jun 7, 2016, 6:57:29 AM Quote this Post
I'm experiencing latency spikes too. I don't think it's the update necessarily, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was because of the release of the new patch. New content ups sever usage, which ups server instability. Hopefully it smoothes out in the coming days.	Posted by ghoulavenger#0583 on Jun 7, 2016, 7:01:08 AM Quote this Post
Yeah lots of spikes as well and especialy rainy areas are bad i mean they were always laggy for me but since they update they are borderline unplayable.

But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

So 20 second lag bursts where the entire screen freezes and nothing happens in game is a problem with with MY internet connection, even though my music is streaming in another window perfectly fine. Then the game plays Benny Hill and speeds everything up 100X to catch up. Cause it never happened to you. Got it.

Hell 7 of us are in the same damn town, and we're all getting pings above 150ms from the closest servers, which were 30ms before the 'upgrade'. So, any specific word on when the problem will be fixed? Or what's causing it? same issue play my first rpg on the intellivision :) Chris Wilson"I want to make sure that melee classes are as good as they can be"	Posted by charley222#3935 on Jun 7, 2016, 11:28:59 AM Quote this Post
I just want to say that I haven't had any issues after 2.3.0 patch until today. I can't play because of lots of latency spikes, lags, etc. Just before this post, I got CTD, for the first time with this game since I play it :( I really don't know what the hell is going on...? :/	Posted by Thoian#5941 on Jun 7, 2016, 4:05:22 PM Quote this Post
