Day 10. GGG still didnt release a lag hotfix. We are still suffering and cant run maps.

I can't believe Ultimatum's mob density didnt create a server-sided lag problem but Scourge did. We cant run maps because of lag instability, we are only running delves, contracts and blighted maps. Missing out the main and biggest endgame content. I will leave a copypasta below for you to see how big this problem is. I am playing for 10 day, and still couldn't start main content because of this. Only running blighted maps. Only. Please, hotfix.




Mandatory copy/paste for the people new to the problem:

YEP many of us have been reporting the issue. For me it started yesterday, never had the issue before. I usually have 60 ms but since yesterday it does (https://i.imgur.com/VzeHap9.jpeg) on some maps (not all!). Sometimes it even goes up to 20,000 ms and I get disconnected.

There are several posts like this one from the last 72 hours (google "poe lag map" with 24h and 1week filter).

The worst is that the issue doesn't occur on every map. It depends of which server the game opens your map. Like I can run 3 maps without any issue (constant 60 ms) but the next one could be on a problematic server and, as soon as a monster appears on the screen, my latency skyrockets to 300 ms or more. If it goes up to 1000 ms the game is unplayable and I'm forced to trash the map and start a new one and hopefully the game will instantiate it on a different server.

Check the IPs of the servers for each one of your maps in your logs and try to see if the issue occurs on the same IPs

New to me. I’ve not had any lag problems save for mild client-side performance issues (hardware mostly).

No problems on my side either. Playing on Frankfurt realm.

Maybe it's a problem of one or some specific servers?

I'm glad I'm not the only one having these issues. I can play any other game online just fine, but PoE gives me intermittent lagspikes every few seconds.

I'm glad I play summoner so minions can help protect me, because playing anything else would be absolutely aggravating.

( ) Start investing in defenses and stop playing mere glass-cannons
( ) Maybe the game isn't for you, if you don't like grind?

( ) You need to earn it first. This is a hardcore arpg
( ) Who cares about standard, anyways?
( ) You can always switch to standard, you know?

Bumping this thread because an unexpected disconnection occurred.

I have the same shit, make GGG see this!!

Bumping because I just ran an entire Delve in slow-motion, even though the performance stats said I had 60 FPS and 10-15 ms latency from ping/CPU/GPU.

Seriously, can SOMEONE at GGG please take a look at whatever is going on with your servers? They're just not working right.

Well, let me guess - it'll still lag once in a while even on some NASA quantum supercomputer, because... well, because ya know, its poe in all its glory.
