Latency issue is ruining the game for me

[DooperPop]

Before anyone tries to say its my specs its not ive measured the latency and for some reason it keeps spiking to comically high ping. it sits anywhere from 20-60 and spikes constastly anywhere from 200-7000 making the game virtually unplayable for me. Ive tried every fix that I have seen and nothing has worked. Please help

UPDATE: By disabling wifi and using a fiber connection I was able to get the game to run with no lag spikes and at a smooth connection. note i was using a fiber connection previously but only by disabling wifi was the game able to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ run, hope this helps someone

there is custom fix for it, let me find it
it's about changing from predictive model to lockstep, or well from auto to lockstep only

"drive:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2 - where the loot filter is located (can go from options on the folder symbol on loot filter) there is poe2_production_Config this file

find the line networking_type=auto and make it networking_type=lockstep ... somehow they did not give us an option like in POE1 to make the game lockstep modus so if it goes into predictive you might be screwed with lags and desync


Second what I found out is, that sometimes if those random lags appear, I just switch the server and everything works fine even though I am logging on a higher ping server ... probably some servers are overfilled / too many players which make them lag?"

predictive mode is NOT a fix its a band-aide

refresh the page

what you want is get rich, get better and more servers for poe, there fixed
another option make bigger queues for the game aka less players playing in 1 given server, also consistent maintenance where they swap the servers you're on

then just try a different server
try playing when there are less people playing in your server

you can maybe try changing your download server in steam
also switch steam setting in game at the bottom network option to always

or get rich and give ggg better and more servers, where less people are in the same server, there is an obvious limit to everything, there is no infinite anything

all servers yeild the same result, being the lag spikes. and band-aid fixes should not be the solution for players. and as much as id like to have an infinite well of money I do not. from what I can tell it is a specific issue only effecting some of the player base. although almost everyone is experiencing these lag spikes some are experiencing them far more frequently at far greater ping despite having a good connection and good hardware.
