Latency Spikes (Let's try this again)

So the readers were dissatisfied with my feable efforts at communication. So, let's see if I can get it right this time.

On average, it is every other map ranging, on a 40ms server, from 60ms to 2000+ms.

Tried all the normal suspects, including reinstallation, Vulcan, etc..

I find it sad that you almost have to have a degree in computer science to even understand what is wrong with a game, let alone fix the problem.

I am too old to figure this stuff out. Or too braindead :).

Same problem here.

Same here, EU unplayable again few weeks after league start... Cutting down amount of servers?

same issue still happening here.

Yeah but no, sure you are having lag but the source is totally different as you are EU and the OP is in asia.

So, OP, there is nothing showing on that test at over 2000ms, the worst was nearer 200ms, that kicks in at around half way through your connection, not really your ISP but not GGG's server host, this is where a VPN would help BUT the problem needs to be reported to your ISP where they will (or should) pass this on to the relevant operators

As for you _Dr_Med_Wurst i would say your issue isn't latency but packet loss starting at your router, which you should power cycle, which in many cases clears these sorts of problems up, BUT it would also be a WiFi thing so if it persists after a power cycle and you are connecting via WiFi, then you should test a wired connection to see if the problem goes away.
If it dose then it mean that there is something up with the WiFi but nailing that down can be a pain as it could be an over saturation of the band that the WiFi uses.

lagwin1980, Chris log out KEKW

sure theres no problems in this game
for me game turned unplayable in last 6 hours i had like 120.000 ms spike on every EU realm dude

no problems just 3.21.2 beta testing of poe2 broken and unusable engine, 58% of 3.22 patchnotes are about dead ruthless, huge lags on deli/legion/blight but you can do horrible abomination called sanctum and loot divines without any specific build
both technical part of poe and its content become worse with every patch

idk why they jist cant return golden poe era of original harvest, deli, legion... guys are there really people who like sanctum, kalandra, ancestors more than juiced map farming/uber boss farming?
leagues which slighly interacted with mapping like heist and delve are ok, but recently we got endless heist nerf and in delve you are locked in boneshatter to progress, what the hell is this dudes why you bring sanctum back

Every game works fine, except POE after 3.21.2 but it's for sure our hardware. Dude, I just ordered a new router. Thanks for the advice!

Ok. Thank you for the info. I will try a VPN.

Thought it might be throttling, but I'm pretty sure that illegal in the country I live in.

Well, Mr. Lagwin1980, VPN did the trick. Thank you.

For years, I would just give up till the next league. That worked everytime. Kind of irritating, though. Never tried a VPN cause it cost more money and didn't make sense to my pea brain.

I didn't even change the country. But worked like a charm. At some point, I would really like to understand why this works.
