Constant Stuttering after 3.26

Since 3.26, my game is constantly stuttering. I have done everything I know of to try and remedy the issue but no results. I reduced graphics, restarted pc, changed nvidia settings, but no success.

For reference, it looks exactly like this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/a8n1j3/the_instance_stutterlag_is_getting_worse_and/

Any tips or suggestions?

Same issue, last league I was running stable 100-130 FPS, now in 3.26 Im at 5-10 FPS with freezes down to 0 every few seconds, nothing helps.
Same here. My ping increases by few hundreds when I use a flask or skill and lag happen in the same moment.
And I was not able to see beach for over an over from league start due to instant dc.

Same problem here... unplayable.
I've noticed the same issue. At around 10:00 a.m. GMT, the game experiences a significant spike in network latency that steadily increases, ultimately rendering the game unplayable.
Same issue but only in town when there are too many other players. When Im in the map its normal. This started with 3.26. In 3.25 I never had this issue
I second this!

On june 27th it as posted that ggg was looking into this and was hoping to have a solution in the update next from from june 27th. I believe it's been two updates since, and the issue persists.
