[PS5] Extremely laggy

Hello. I am experiencing extreme lag that makes the game unplayable. My Internet connection is stable and I can comfortably play in EU and most NA East servers of other games, but Path of Exile is extremely laggy regardless of the server I pick.

The lag manifests in the character sometimes moving a lot further than I expect. Normally, when I stop tilting the stick, my character should stop moving right away like it does in other games. But in Path of Exile it sometimes keeps moving for up to half second. Additionally, the game sometimes reacts late to me tilting the stick. It happens so often that it makes the game practically unplayable.

It is not a problem with my controller because it happens on multiple different controllers, each of them works perfectly with other games.

EDIT: I'm on PC btw, using the normal non-steam client.

Same here. Started sometime yesterday, still happening now after their PC server restarts.

I'm in the US (New York) and tried multiple US realms and even an EU one.

Other games work fine, voice chats and streams etc everything normal, but once I get into a map in POE the game starts studder-stepping and my Latency meter is going bananas with spikes.

I tried all the normal latency fixes yesterday before hopping on the forums and finding a bunch of people with the same issue. Was expecting the server maintenance today to fix it but zero help.
Mobile games have better trading...

Well, for me it's been happening for several months already, since I tried for the first time on PS5
