EU Latency/Connectivity Issues [Deutsche Telekom/1&1]

Same problem here, although sometimes switching the server region helps a little with the price of higher pings and thus higher risk of rips. Right now though every server latency is above 300ms, which makes it unplayable obv.
It seems to only affect me inbetween 15 and 23 oclock, so basically my free time lol. hard to buy into the game with supporter packs etc even nice mtx, when the devs do all but ignore this tremendous problem affecting tons of people in germany. very sad.

It's now just Germany it's worldwide. Read the forum's they are full of people trying to deal with it.

Personally the only way I've seen that actually works is to play from about 130am. I start in Washington DC they switch to Texas if I have problems.

That's during prime sleep time. I can play but only very late or very early. Prime time I just give it a miss.

Give it a try. I might as well have company while I'm hunched over my coffee cup.

I don't have these problems, not even in prime time. However it looks like my Danish ISP is having a better piring connection to GGG hosting partner....

im playing from Turkey, last 1 week im getting 150ms+ always

it was 60 average normally

started the game today after the last frustrating session, everything was fine, then i died, went back into the map and suddenly out of nowhere LAGS again.....
my connection log looks like a f**** ECG! ping times from 22ms up to 1600ms. ALT+F4 is the current fix for me. thanks GGG.

ive tried out a VPN trial for a day, this was a fix also, but i wont pay more money for a VPN-service just to be able to connect to poe's shitty servers without routing problems.
better just ad more supporter packs instead of switching to other server host.
(yeah im kind of salty but i dont apologize for that)

58pages of rage- and issue report and they still dont wake up.
how was i able to play poe years ago with no connection problems? how am i able to play other games without any lag spike problems?

You realize the problem isn't due to the servers right? i mean the whole thread is about a specific provider fucking up peoples connection to the server, something you proved to be true with the VPN because it "fixed" the problem for you. (the vpn dose not change the servers, it just changes the route your connection takes to the same server)

not completly true, cause the bad latencies ONLY occure in specific ip ranges. i maybe dumb, but iam pretty sure its at GGGs hand to do someting about this...maybe change the hoster? talk to the hoster? do anything?

i never felt forced to support GGG, i did cause i had fun, even in bad leagues, i supported them atleast to the money a AAA game would cost.
but the last 2 leagues are only frustrating when you are only able to play when the servers arent loadheavy / the routing isnt garbage, and you cant play when you have time.

i just logged in, and my ping is a rollercoaster. cant play in prime times, what is sad since most people have then their free time to spare and invest some time into the game.

Same for me.
I just want to add, that I recently started having issues (very low speed, <1 MByte/sec) with Steam servers when downloading from Frankfurt. Which is the realm I automatically use (there was no need for me to change).
So maybe there are problems with the datacentres in Frankfurt (possibly even DE-CIX). But I am also with you there, GGG needs to act and get in touch with host, etc. I'm pretty sure this behavior has already been detected by operators.

Same here.

This problem exists for more than six months now (starting in Betrayal League), and GGG hasn't acted or communicated at all. They leave it to the users.

I would even buy a supporter pack if I thought it would help, but until I read from a GGG person (and not another forum user in DK who is lucky to be able to play) that they know the problem and act on it, my money stays where it is.

Latency over 1700ms even in my Hideout, unplayable...

*bumb*

a rare free sunday when i could play, but the latency issues makes it as suspected impossible.

dont know why i even keep trying when i know that nothing will change. /sadface

Had a free day to play. Just crashed in Washington DC, Texas and California and UK.

Ok gave it my best shot with a new rig. Of course the games unplayable. Will try back in another two weeks.

Maybe with all the German kids locked out of realm by shitty DT support, you can hop on Frankfurt and gambol about in the deserted realm with a stable ping of oh, idk, 120-150 ms

Think how fast Oriath will load with NOBODY there! You could even run ur maps in the Templar lab.

Has there been a general "fix"?
I've been getting these lags since early Legion League (not at the start, tho).
During peak hours from 6pm to 11pm in Europe most instances I create (including hideout, alva temple, safehouse, literally anywhere) will have lag spikes from 40ms to 2000ms, making those unplayable (next map could be 100% fine). This is really annoying when playing fully juiced T16 maps and I literally cannot run those because of the risk of dying on lvl 95+
Also, if I want to trade with other players those other players are joining my hideout in a different instance than I am in. Resulting in me having to refresh my hideout instance and reinvite my trading partner.

ISP is Deutsche Telekom like for most others in this thread. Calling them resulted in them telling me that their network is the "best" in Germany and even in peak hours there are no issues.

Hoping for a fix soon - lvl 100 with those lags this league is impossible. :(
