Path of Exile 2 — Network Spikes After Patch (0.3)

No we are fine.. poe2 starting to be a D4 copy.. it’s disgusting that for 2 week we do not even have a single response on performance.. I almost break my controller… as I only die to fukkkking server lags.. it’s pathetic … disgusting that they are just here for our money but 0 damn given to performance… if we will have anything done for this at December the game will be dead soon,.

Same problem, its absolutely unplayable with those insane lagspikes.

I have the same problem. Game logic freezes in my client for about 10 seconds and I have to slam the ESC button ASAP, then wait for my client to catch up with the server. No lag spikes in other games, never had these spikes before patch 0.3. I live in Norway and usually use London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Stockholm servers.

So I had the same issues. Mapping was fine after clearing my cache in %appdata% but Abyssal Depths i would spike up to 3k latency and network bar maxed out. So I hit escape and quit game because I was dying and couldn't stop being latenced out... then came back in and it loaded me in the abyssal depths and there was no latency at all after that..So maybe try that and see if it helps? not sure why it helped me at all, but it did.. so I'm going to try that again next time I get to and abyssal depths and see if it works again. Kind of a shit fix if it helps but i'm going to do it until they fix things or it doesn't work.

No response from GGG on this? It's obvious the problem is with GGG's servers or the way they've coded everything for the trading system and the fact that it's an always-online game. If it weren't online, I have no doubt the game would run perfectly.

First post ever, really just wanted to state that this bug is the one and only reason i will uninstall. The game looks like the best it's ever been, and the amount of features that had been made available in those last few months where i didn't get to play is real alluring, so i decided to try the new season with the huntress.

But i get those freeze/desync/network bar shooting up (not even sure what to call it) every couple minutes, sometimes lasting, well, up to a couple minutes. It genuinely IS unplayable and fuels me with nothing but frustration.
I've tried about every settings combination, clearing caches, trying different servers, using vpns, allocating priority and about anything i could find on reddit threads and forum posts and nothing even dampens the issue.

I'm not even asking for an immediate fix. I just want to know that GGG is acknowledging the situation: that the game we got is unplayable for some people, and not due to network/hardware issues. Hopefully they're at work trying to fix it, but the silence is deafening.

As far as dev studios go i'd say GGG is genuinely one of the most "beloved by its community" type, and seeing a complete disregard of one of the biggest issue in the game from them is heartbreaking. You cannot ignore this GGG, we deserve to know why we cannot play your game.

Really needed to vent it out, hopefully we get to hear something about this sooner than later. Hang in there exiles.

Very well said. Please just admit that you're aware of it and plan at least to address it.
It's so frustrating dying and losing the juiced maps because of lag spikes.

Keeping this thread alive. We still are experiencing this issue GGG!

for me its getting worse every day

i had this on 1 map and it went away after i cleared a certain ritual
