High latency spikes in Path of Exile 2 - Need help

Yea I am also having this issue pretty bad. My ping will spike so bad sometimes it will freeze my game and climb into the thousands before randomly jumping back down. Its made the endgame unplayable 50% of the time. I was able to get around it during the campaign with creating new instances. I felt like I've tried everything and this is the only game this happens to me on. I have 1 gig upload and download as well.

Also in the same boat. Hopefully this get addressed soon.

Same here I tried California, Texas, and DC, but I'm still getting monster spikes. I can ping other places in those locations without getting any issues.

Getting this as well. This is the only game/application where I have this issue. Hopefully it's resolved soon. My other friends don;t have this issue, but I do. I always seem to get saddled with the weird issues :[

Any Puma chips out there? ISP's are still handing them out. Check your models.

Same problems. GGG fix servers pls.

same issue, all other games worked fine, e.g. D4 or Torchlight: Infinite (similar games) were very smooth, except POE2.

noticed it was very bad around 12/31 - 1/1 (holidays), at 1/2 morning it was better, but still bad at evenings.

Tried US west / Texas about the same.

do what i did, request a refund for this terrible game and dont look back. L company, L game, L devs

This latency is unacceptable. I've been dealing with it since we had this rain storm in the Dallas, TX area on 12/24. My connection is not the issue. I can run a consistent ping to cloudflare in cmd and highest latency I will get is 16 ms. No other game or streaming has issues. It's also way worse during "prime time"

My friends in Washington doesn't have it as bad, but he also gets lag.

I understand this is early access, but this is just bs. If you have a game that is online required to play it and you have such a hard penalty for dying in end game, then fix the damn connection guys. It's unaceptable to lose a juiced up map and node to having your character FREEZE IN PLACE for ~2 seconds to have it resume to you being dead. I've lost so many maps and nodes this way and until this shit get's fixed, I'm going to stop playing.

**********UPDATE!!!!!!
Found on another post something that worked for me....
Found a solution that I wanted to pass along. may not work, but worked for me.

Task manager -> details -> right click poe2 -> set affinity -> turn off core 0

problem immediately went away.

WTF. WHY did this work........... I've been dealing with this latency past 2 weeks... So bad that the game freezes in place for ~2 seconds. So many wasted juiced maps and map nodes.... WTF. Thx for finding this...
