PoE 2 Latency Spikes?

All Asia server lag at 10pm-11pm (GMT+7) This happen to most people on EVERDAY!!!!
Whats going on?
Overall performance has been abysmal the last 2-3 days. Like way worse than ever before (at least for me on a US server). Game is hitching and stuttering a lot. What's going on?
game is absolutely unplayable. tryng to connect on all servers possible. same results. lagging and sputtering. unacceptable

the same problem appears to me. Game is umplayable now. Latency spikes from stable 40ms to 200ms. 2seconds OK and spike, 2 seconds ok and spike. Try to play like that..GGG what is going on with you
I'm having those latency problems as well. I have posted a separate post about this issue with some more details.

The problem goes away on change of instance (during leveling you can usually create a new instance by clicking on a location with CTRL), but during maping the only solution is to open a new map.
this fixed network spikes for me

Hello All,

i can see we are more or less in the same boat, about the so called servers Latency Spikes.

this might only be a "Quick Fix" or maybe a permanet fix, that does not require much, from us.

so here is what i did.

i startet Steam Client up as administrator mode, and also took the server with the least spikes, for me (EU - Frankfurt), been doing this for the last couples of days, as a testing to see if it was a temp solution, but sofar i have not had any latency spikes at all.

i said to my guildmates who had same issues to try it, and thier Latency Spikes also went away. also helped for US players had a few try it out.

this has only been tested on Steam client sofar for me, i mighgt help to on the Poe 2 standalone client.

just wanted to share this with the community

have a nice day.
since I am in Thailand and use the Singapore Server this happen all the time - unplayable game breaker!
I even installed a fast internet on my house as I thought first it is the connection but even with the upgrade same issue.
This problem has been ongoing since the release and GGG does fuck all to fix it. PoE 1 works fine, PoE 2 is a latency shitshow, embarrassing really.

Tried everything;
Change DNS
Flush DNS
Switch to wired ethernet
Change chat channels and /clear
Change ingame host
Change to mobile hotspot
Change to lockstep and predictive in config
Rollback Nvidia drivers

MS latency keeps spiking to 700 every minute or so... Impossible to play.
when people talk about latency, is this in the graph known as the network:?

This network is the one causing my issues.
1 map/area its fine and it stays low all the time at around 10ms. Then next area is like 80 going up and down like crazy...and its lagging like crazy..i reset instance...fine again...so weird..
