Disconnects every 2 minutes, unplayable
I can play every other online game in Steam and not in Steam (namely Tera, DSIII, OW....) with no problems (so it's nor my internet or my PC, which works around a 1060 GPU...).

Switched to DirectX 9 which is supposed to help. It did the first... 2 minutes.

The F*CK is wrong here.

EDIT: For those experiencing this sort of problems, try different graphics configuration such as DirectX9, VSync active, playing with quality graphics, etc. Post results or what you tried. These steps worked for me.

Indeed, internet works fine. No signs of problems of any sort. If I had poor connection, any of those "random services" would have failed. Where's the problem, then? Go back to your cave

At least in my cave I fixed the lag problem which was caused by my ISP which just created problems in PoE but no other online game.

It might not "just be you". I downloaded PoE last night through the standalone client and it took a full 8hrs to download the game on a 20 megabit connection. That's not possible barring some serious issues, and the issues most definitely are not on my end. I called my ISP, asked them if there were any issues, and they ran a check on my line, and everything is in the green. Nothing else was downloading at the time, so nothing was competing for bandwidth. Only culprit could have been GGG's servers. Period. I get around 2.5mb/s download speed normally.

Care to offer some specifics? I'm in the same boat. Every other game/client works with no issues, except for PoE. If I gotta make a special fix for their game/client, I don't consider that to be "my end", but their junk client & netcode.

Same. My internet can run everything game without any issue, but in PoE so much lag spikes.

mid december it started that I got heavy lag issues even to that point, that lockstep wasnt an option anymore. it was close after abyss start so I thought "ye might be related to the start of the league". nevertheless, I wrote to the support several mail including winMTR's and related informations. after several mails they gave the hint to speak with my ISP, after speaking with them and after they wanted to look into that, the problem was solved. And in that case I just saw the lag problems in PoE, maybe due to lockstep? I dunno. But every other internet service I used in that time, showed no issues.

Point is, ye GGGs can have also problems. But just saying "hey its lagging but my connection ALL WAY to the servers are fine, because my connection is also good to a Overwatch server" is not a good argument. Various people also reported that SSDs and other stuff fixed disconnect issues for them, because the game can load fast enough, w/e. As long as people dont look into the issues its hard to guess where a problem lies.

Apropos good arguments, in 2013 when I got back then my old PC I was kinda the same. Played every game back then on max settings, and never had issues. Then I played Tera Online and crashed several times. People guessed it might be an overheating issue but I was "nah game XX and game YY runs fine on max settings, why should tera be different there?" Long story short, it was an overheating issue which just manifested itself during flying loading screens of tera. and besides that one case, I had never an overheating issue anywhere else.

Problem number one in all selfbuild machines, RAM, Oh, i have 1600 MHZ RAM, it must be run on this settings !! Wrong !! 90% all of your games running fine, but 10% crashes ? take your ram down to 1333 MHZ, and timings up, your machine will not running slower, but it runs rockstable, you all have no disconnects, you have game crashes, and the game loses connection, and says, disconnect !
Problem number 2, no Framelimiter, you have a so powerfull machine, PoE runs with 200 Frames ? Overheating, or crash can be a sideeffect, game engines can only produce a limitedframe time, some Engines can have 150 frames before they goes unstable, and some can have only 30, for mmos the second problem comes with synchronising between you and the gameserver, the faster you games run, the faster the server must response, limit your frames with VSync to 60, its better vor synchronizing between you and server and you prevent the game engine to goes unstable.
Hope it helps a bit, sorry for my english.

Same issue

Apparently by enabling VSync I've solved the problem... Or at least it worked for couple of hours today. Will update if happens again.

Same here. My internet and rig are fine. Work well with many of other servers and games.

Load up POE crash. After many tries finally get in. Change zones disconnect, crash. Rinse, repeat. This is a GGG/POE centric issue.

Could be a fun game. It is FTP so no biggie issue for me. I'll just move on to other games.

I'll ckeck in from time to time to see if GGG decides to do something.
