Continuous Stuttering/Lag Despite Stable FPS and Internet in PoE 2 Early Access
" Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse. Mostly I experience small spikes from 12 to like 80. It stutters but it's playable. On occasion though it fluctuates between 12 and 800 or above and it becomes literally unplayable |

First of all, I didn't have any problems anywhere else, everything else ran smoothly, and yet it was apparently due to my internet connection, as I found out after a long search. There was a relatively high amount of packet loss between the router and the provider. I found this out with the help of this internet benchmark https://de.packetlosstest.com. I tested this extensively to make sure that it wasn't my network or device that was causing the problem. I tested with different devices (PC and smartphone), Ethernet cables, and Wi-Fi, and I also tested with my smartphone on other networks to make sure that it wasn't the device that was causing the problem.
In the end, I was pretty sure that it wasn't my network. If you do the test, it should look something like this in the best case scenario. ![]() Here are the settings I used. ![]() A technician from my provider then fixed the problem. It seems that Path of Exile 2 is very sensitive to such things. This is consistent with reports from other users I have read who got rid of the problem by switching from Wi-Fi to cable.

" Did that test, same settings: 0.0% packet loss. Can’t be my connection. It’s a POE issue. |

It's definitely on their side, since when I switch character eg. to the one from Act 2, I have no latency problems at all. Then I go back to my first character and again 20 - 400 ms spikes......
