Mega Huge Lag Spikes and Freezing with Mob Spell Effects

Having the same issue on my laptop and my gaming pc. I also use different isps since I travel the country for work so its not that. It startde with the last patch.

Now that im in Dallas, I get a 6 ping and then randomly the game freezes and my latency goes to 10,000 for a split second then back down to a 6 ping. getting really annoying.

Everything was working fine for 15min earlier while I was playing, shortly after getting off phone with my ISP.

Now I came back after dinner and everything is the SAME or WORSE as before??? Really? Idk what happened between now and then but damn this is so frustrating.

Deleted some files from PoE folder and re-Dload game again.

Same issue with spell effects (but mostly the ice stars)

All my other games are running fine/smooth/low CPU and GPU usage too so I don't think I have broken hardware.
PoE was also running FINE at very start of league.

So massively behind in Atlas and currency now it feels almost pointless.

Switching to DX12 doesn't appear to have made much of a difference, let alone switching to Steam client vs PoE client.

I have Vsync on with DX12 but no idea if that's the proper thing to do or needed or not.
Most of my graphic settings are turned down much lower than usual too.
