Network spikes?

[renbrød]

Anyone else getting network spikes? I can run other games just fine for pvp and stuff but on poe2 my network constantly jumps from 28ms to like 150ms+ making the game nearly impossible to play. It's nothing to do with graphics as I have well above the recommended pc specs

this is the exact same issue that everyone had in PoE1 and they refused to fix the issue they just gave us a bandaid to help it.

the problem is that poe2 is not optimized at all for servers. They are very bad at putting hte maximum on local computering and use way too much servers to calculate everything, maps loot, ennemy, and instead of passing basic id of that they pass the whole package which is very heavy on the network. So if you have a lot of players connected they need a gigantic server, which explains the problems of launch and even if the server is not full, your rooter will be always heavily loaded with a stream of s**t, so if you don't have the fiber you cannot have anyone use your internet while you play as simple as that. You need to imagine that is a big L on their part as most of the time we play alone and lots of mmo have better network management than them.

choose other servers for example i have 4 serves in my region with 30 to 50 ms but 2 of them are worse then the others

i have constant 30 to 50 ms on the servers i used so far

+ same on different servers

[Mardrog]

Same... cant play :(

Yep it's unplayable with ping spikes of 400+. Seems to affect a portion of the playerbase. Buying into a beta test I was expecting turbulent waters but this is rough. Please fix :D

Same thing, network latency spikes that result in a stuttering mess

[JimDFTW]

yup the servers aint the best. Literally quit the game due to the stupid trials being forced into the MSQ. They are bad enough without getting hit from lag/disconnects. I dont want to waste my day doing those borings rooms over and over trying to not get hit, at all.

Had the same problem, restarting my router fixed it.

[NUKINGFOOBS]

still an issue
barely playable in some areas, unplayable in the manor

[Poisonling]

There is an Act 2 boss that has 3 seals, it is impossible as a monk to kill it with these lag spikes, my latency is fluctuating between 40-400ms constantly

Folks, I updated NVIDIA game ready drivers and the lags disappeared. Maybe the server Frankfurt got fixed at the same time, or that's a solution idk

[GetUrAssToMars]

They also just hit a new all time high in the last 24 hours I'm sure they are still figuring out the server situation.

[AngryPixel]

Yes. It's happens. But be real and remember - ths is EA. 0.1.0 build and swarmed by people. It is working pretty great. They have year to fix this so it is good to point this at the forum but do not make it a big problem.

Been having these spikes quite a bit myself. Interestingly enough, when looking at the options while these happens, it is quite literally just the network that spikes out. Considering this is the only game I find these issues in, I have to think it is something that needs some optimisation.
