3.27 Lags

Also getting infinite lag spikes all the time. Something I noticed today though is, that the server still gets all your input pretty instantly even if your game seems stuck and you have 100k+ ping(at least sometimes).

Was doing a boss carry for a friend and after the lag spike hit while fighting the boss and I thought I could do nothing, the inputs went through like normal according to my mate. My friend voice guided me through the fight while everthing was stuck on my screen lol. Kinda weird routing issue I guess.

I have the same problem, and unfortunately haven't found a solution yet. PoE is unplayable like this.
just logged out again due to unplayable lag. sitting in hideout 25-500 ping every few seconds.
Bump. Same here. It's ridiculously frustrating!
bum same here getting unexpected disconnect caus of high ping sometimes
Yes, I have been having this issue as well, Washington DC server. I played a LOT during last season (Mercenaries) and did not really have this issue. But it is VERY frequent in 3.27. It's definitely not a connection issue at home as I have no other problems.

I'm using the Steam version.
I have been having this issue chronically. I played all through mercenaries league, kalgur, and necropolis with minor issues at worst.

I keep getting lag spikes of 5000 to 12000 ms left and right until I just crash out repeatedly. No other services in my home are affected, so I am inclined to believe this is a GGG issue.
I have been dealing with this issue since league start and I have a solution. Or maybe not a solution but a workaround which worked for me, might help someone else.
After weeks of struggle I tried sharing the internet from my smartphone and playing on that. It works perfectly with that. The problem is that mobile internet is not unlimited so it's a temporal or expensive solution.

Because of this I think GGG can just say the common "it's an ISP issue" but because so many people have the same issue, I don't think it's something that everyone should have to fix individually. No other games ever produced an issue like this.

I also tried both standalone cliend and steam client. Both have this issue, not a client or re-download error.
GGG Doesn't care or doesn't know how to fix the issues with their servers, i don't know which is worse. Opened a map, 26 ping, entered research betrayal encounter, ping starts jumping from 40 to 500. There are so many posts about this and they don't even have enough civility to make an official post saying "we know and we are working on a fix, sorry".
What a joke.
Same. Evenings are the worse. No problem until late afternoon. It seems when too many people try to play at the same time, servers are f@ucked. Surprise, after work more people want to play. Should we quit our job to be able to play. I can't even move on some maps, let alone kill the monsters. Unplayable.
Please GGG, do something!!! The leauge is great, i really enjoy it.. i mean, when im able to play it.
