Constant disconnects and huge lag spikes

I'm in Sydney, tried connecting directly and via VPN - both were horrible experiences tonight at least...

Haven't played for a few months but had zero issues in 3.14, just came back for 3.15.

Symptoms:

idle ping in town around 16 ms, then intermittent lag spikes while clearing the map, to THOUSANDS of ms.

Occasional disconnects.

Please tell me it's servers?

I had the same issues. I've been told by a valued poster that i have to prove it and then said its probably an issue with my ISP.

I ran WinMTR to see the connection to the game server, ping spikes of several seconds and 2% packet loss at the end node.

Since i also had packet loss at the start of the traceroute i contacted my ISP and they actually found an issue with my internet, it got fixed by them.

Yet in poe i still have huge lag spikes and some lag spikes where the latency just keeps rising until i disconnect.

It's the servers. People blaming ISPs is just easy shifting of blame.

Agree. Had no issues on league start, no issues on Saturday on Sunday. Nothing.

Today constant disconnections. Already had like 6 of those within 10 minutes. Lag spikes happening whenever anything is basically moving on screen. In town it's basically impossible to move because there always someone moving. What is wrong with your servers GGG?

i have the same problem do you know what causes it?

It happens now and then but every time it makes me sad. I can be just clearing an area, fighting a boss, the game just disconnects and closes.
My character won't move as well.

I've run WinMTR data at https://pastebin.com/bJRRNuR8

Please let me know if I need to do something because I enjoy this game I just enjoy it a lot more when I can play it.

Thanks

In previous league it was alweys days with disconnect problems. Its annyng but playble, usually one disconnect for map.
In this league im just lose maven cruicable because im have three oneshots and three disconnects.

Well done GGG, now its 3 disconnect for 1 map instead 1 disconnect, im clearly see progress with improving this game.
Im not count lag spikes, its everytime and absolutly standart for poe for years even on my top-tier PC.

I understand that the endless postponement of work on performance and stability issues is due to much more important issues that GGG should work on first - there is still so much to nerf in the game.

My game is regulary disconnect crush etc. tonight i make my next character & that was horrible.i think it was some of 10+ crushes. thanks a lot for help

Same problem here, lag spikes that i didn't have before. Lag spikes starts 17 August 08:00 PDT and same today 18 August 08:00 PDT. This is a server problem?

some of you guy start lag since 17/08 ? i was 14/08.one thing that changed is window had an update on 13/08 after that same problem as you guy.
normally i can play this game on high smoothly until that window update

If you actually want help instead of just complaining about it, read the stickies and post a WinMTR in YOUR OWN THREAD. It is nigh on impossible to help 10-15-20 people all complaining about lag in a single thread. Just because you all have the same symptoms doesn't mean you all have the same issue, which is why you are asked to make your own threads.
