Extreme latency in Scourge league instances

I have a pretty slow internet connection (~160KBps (1.3Mbps) download speed) and the only content my connection cannot seem to handle is the super juiced double or triple beyond 100% delirious maps without deadly lag spikes.

In Scourge however, I've ran into this problem a couple times while leveling or while casually mapping on certain layouts (so far) and I'm wondering if this is a problem I could potentially fix, bring awareness to (if it's something on GGG's end), or if I'm just kinda SoL and have to deal with it.

An update after playing for another day, it seems these lag "spikes" (less spikes and more I have to deal with it for a map) only occur when a large number of enemies are present in *the other plane* and within aggro range.

Multiple times my ping would go between 800-2k and stay there until I leave an area in the map, switch planes, and find 50+ enemies in the vicinity. Once cleared, ping is fine in that specific spot.

If the cause is just how GGG made this it really needs fixed. There are times I can go multiple maps switching over into a screen of enemies and ping stays ~100-150 and other times there can be 20 enemies and I nearly die simply due to 3k+ ping.


Cross plane monsters still absolutely wrecking my ping from time to time.
From that first trace, which is a bit old now, you are getting some silly latency at your second hop and it just keeps getting worse from there.

There is definitely something going on with your ISP's stuff. I'd give them a call and let them know that you are seeing ping spikes of 1/4 to a 1/3 of a second at least and it's affecting your ability to do what you want to online. Make sure that they see your MTR, as that is the proof that the will need to see that something is borked.

If you get an unhelpful tier 1 person (The people that answer the phones - they read from a manual and may NOT be techies), then ask for their tier 2 support.

I have this very issue both in maps and while leveling a new character but couldn't pin what the problem was. It just seems like every 3rd or so instance is krangled. Did you work out a fix?
Not really. Haven't encountered the problem too much today if at all either. I haven't tried the fix the other commenter mentioned, but I doubt it would change much beyond the random 300-500 ping spikes I occasionally get for 1-3 seconds throughout the day. Never really impacted playing games that are sensitive to that kind of issue (like League of Legends) and it's something I've lived with for years so xd.
Encountered similar problems.For me anytime i use the league mechanic,i'll get like 2k-30k latency on the next area and it'll be unplayable until the area resets, I hope ggg does something about this because it means i'll have to play the league without the league mechanic until this gets fixed.
I encountered a similar problem yesterday and again today; I believe I pinpointed my problem to maps with a delirium mirror. I get 1-3k latency and the game becomes unplayable even without activating delirium. It started happening after the latest hotfix(could be the league patch itself since I didn't do any maps before the hotfix).
Same issue opening a Delirium mirror during the acts.
Getting a sawtooth pattern with my ping and then a Disconnect

Re-entering the map and the same happens.
I created a bug report and got the number 1176897539.

i'm facing the same problem my latency on average is 80-110, now unpredictably it skyrockets to 3-4k and the game becomes unplayable, same is happening to 2 of my friends, please ggg find a fix to this problem.
