I died the 1000000000000000000000000 times to FPS spikes

As i said, its not about bandwith, its about latency.

But i get what you ment.

F1 not only shows graphs for FPS, but for latency too, would be interesting if your lantency tanks too at the same Moment, or does it stay around those 20-40ms you prob. normally have.

Come on folks, you aren't really arguing that you've never seen this happen on your own system before?

This symptom can be caused by multiple problems. If the problem is on the client side then putting both the game and the operating system on an SSD can help a lot. But, it can also be caused by the PoE servers, PoE poorly optimized code, other factors on the client like memory/graphic processor/CPU, or just the Internet connection between the server and the client. Sometimes even a combination of multiple things. Depending on where the problem is the solution is different.

For example, my system usually works well but the other day I brought up PoE and went right into delving. I started following the light cart fine and all of a sudden the character started boomeranging around the screen and my character died from being in the dark even though I was standing next to the cart on my computer screen. I restarted the game and similar stuff was happening. I restarted the game again and selected a different server and it worked fine. So I concluded that the problem was either on the first PoE server or on the Internet path between my house and that first server.

As some other posters have said, sometimes the servers just take a dump. Everything can be going fine when all of a sudden severe and massive lag spikes. If I feel like playing then I'll try another server. If it still happens then I just quit so I don't feel the rage you're feeling right now. One sign for me that the servers are being schizo is I will have the exact ping to every server worldwide. That's when I know if I play i'm going to have a bad time.

Try playing on a different server. If the result is exactly the same then the issue is probably somewhere on your side or your ISP.

Latency stays normal when that happens as far as i've paid attention so far. I switched to preditive and it seems like i can survive better when the FPS drops to 0. To me it seems like the server is calculating if the monster is hitting me. 100 Monster on screen 100 calculations to do. With 2 additional projectiles 300 calculations and so on. It also seems laggy when i get close to a shrine with a lot of mosnter around.

I'm ususally on Frankfurt but i'll give Amsterdam a try

From your description of the symptoms another possibility not mentioned is a bandwidth problem in the house. For example, if you're using a wifi connection try to get a hardwired connection to the Internet. If this doesn't happen when no one else is using the Internet in the house but does when someone else or something else is using the Internet. Something else could, for example, be automatically recording of a program by a DVR.

I'm living alone and my PC is connected via cable to the router. The only thing running while i play PoE is twitch on another screen.

Try running PoE and nothing else that needs internet, if you have access to your router-config, take a look at QoS, activate it if possible.

As i said earlier, PoE is incredible sensual about such things.

I'm pretty much sold on the latest patch & VULKAN. I'm playing for hours nearly FPS LAG free. On 4k. Everything on low still but i'll try to raise that also.
