Rubber band and lag spikes

Hello everyone,

since this league has started, I have lag spikes from 7ms up to 300 for 1 or 2 sec and then it's back to 7. Also, I get ported back about 3 seconds once or twice per map.(rubber band) Most of the time I die because I get ported back into mobs.

I already tried:

Different EU-Servers (I'm sitting in Germany, near Frankfurt)
Widows new installation
Game new installation
different DNS server Settings in my router

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?, because like that I will quit the game. Makes no sense and is no fun to play it like this.

Thanks for your help.

Please post a 300+ packet WinMTR to an instance IP where this is happening WHILE it's happening.
no worries u are not alone.

same here.

tried everything. Its GGG fault, because their europe servers are hella shit
unbelievable, it is impossible to even try a lab run because you are getting lag spikes and rubberbanding all the time. doesnt matter which login server i am trying out, it is all the same!!! get this fixed!!

Hay, thanks for answering. Here is the result from WinMTR.

I was running 1 map and died 2 times of rubber band in it.

Well this is "fun". You are passing through a known "bad" node -->
|softlayer-svc080973-ic370828.ip.twelve99-cust.net - 0 | 533 | 533 | 7 | 8 | 39 | 8 |
However it's no longer showing the packet loss or latency spikes as it have done for the last several weeks....

Could you try using a VPN solution and see if that helps?

Could this be due to the DNS settings in my router? Should I create a new report from WinMTR with default DNS or try directly with vpn?

DNS shouldn't do this but some claims that using cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) have helped them.
So try both (DNS and VPN).
Update:

I tried it now twice with a VPN - connected to France. That's the result with WinMTR:

I have the feeling that the rubber band is gone. But what can I do now if that is really the case. I don't want to have a VPN always up whilr running POE.
