FPS and Frame Time Spikes

Started having these weird FPS spikes all of a sudden since last couple days, nothing I do seems to help, fix pls

I died five times now because of fucking lag spikes. More often than not the game feels so laggy that every action I press is casting one second later. I enjoy this game, but this kind of stuff makes me now wanna play.

Pasted my post from another forum thread )

Few days i suddenly had stable low FPS around 20-25.
Usually my FPS was 60 fps and drops in some cases to 40-50 (was used vsync).

Tried to search for miners or virus, change all ingame settings. None of that helped.

Solved with that manipulations (now fps is mostly stable):

1) Disable vsync in game.
2) With nvidia inspector (tool) search and choose path of exile profile:
Vertical sync = forced on,
Frame rate limiter = lock fps to 60
Set "vsync tear control" = to adaptive,
Set "maximum pre-rendered frames" to = 1.

ps: you can do almost all that in your nvidia settings, except fps locking.

Glad if that helps you guys.

So from time to time i get those weird long lags. Character suddenly stops, animation of body movement is still on also environmental things (like water) are on i can exc and open menu or exit game but everything is just freeze. Sometimes it fixes but then character acts very fas as it doing all i wanted he but like in fast pace. Most often it ends in dc. And death of course.

Also Syndicate encounters are hard on fps and latency. But there are times when game works good. Maby a number of active players? Servers too old?

Let's wait for the new league. They finish with DX9, they announce that dx11 will be even better ... because they say that everything is all right now. There will be no DX 9 - you have to "release a lot of code lines, so DX 11 will be even better." It's a pity that no one has even looked at this topic. And I have quite enough to read nonsense counseling from self-proclaimed IT specialists. They focused only on the PS4's forwarding so far - which I can conclude from a complete lack of support - continuous and the same answers to the email "we can not help at the moment ..." and complete ****** technical problems that began with patch 3.5. .. Everything is great - graphical improvements and the like ... but why it is so senseless at the expense of performance ...

28/1/2019 never had any problems in this league but today when ever I try to enter map for atlas objective I get the message failed to connect to the instance and I get disconnected from the game no matter how many times I try to login again I keep getting dc till map portals get closed, already failed 2 of todays objectives ( bestiary and zana )

so I tried to change the gate way from London to Frankfort and guess what I was able to enter the game again and for now I didn't get disconnected again

Whatever has happened is patch related. Did not have a single issue till that patch happened which started today for me... 20 ms to 1600 (highest I saw, usually jumps to 400s) and game just freezes for a second. Lost 40% xp thanks to it on just 1 character.

We have 20 pages of posts with a few other posts relating to it and not a single acknowledgement of the issue anywhere point to it and saying "we are working on it". Maybe time to invest in some employees that bridge that gap in the customer service department.

It isn't ISP related (300 mbps with 30 upload), 1080ti with 4k setup and all so it isn't PC related either (especially considering not another single game is having this issue).

Hopefully they will fix it soon.

As we all can see some of the players have real serioues gaming pcs (1080,2080,64gb ram etc etc)and we are at 20 pages of posts.Even a kid without any knowledge can see that the problem is from GGG's (engine or servers) internal ressoruces.POE is getting a bigger community but with these issues i doubt it will get better it may even be worse.I love poe and been playing since 2013 (if i my memory is good).GGG needs to rework the pc graphic engine ( it runs so smooth on xbox) and some PCs are way stronger then consoles ! so please GGG spend money on optimizing the game graphics/mechanics/servers/gameplay and you will get your money back but if you don't more players will leave.I wait for 3.6 if it's not gonna be better im leaving.
ps:Warframe has spent alot on creating and optimizing there own engine now they got payed back and rising to the stars ! Get some inspirations ggg !
I don't regret any minute spent on poe untill this betrayal, i feel betrayad.

Getting random ms and frame time spikes that have made the game unplayable. How unfortunate. Certainly not my hardware on an 8700k/1080 either. I'm not sure of whether or not the ms spike is tied to the frametime spike; I've never had to gauge frametime in other games.
