Continuous Stuttering/Lag Despite Stable FPS and Internet in PoE 2 Early Access

Then why does this issue only ever occur with POE 2 or POE 1 but no other game or product has issue?

Not saying you're wrong but it's intriguing that ONLY Poe exhibits this problem.

So per the last feedback provided about my MTR ping trace I picked up a new ISP today and lo and behold all lag vanished.

My previous isp insisted numerous times everything was good and there was nothing on their end, turns out they lied. So pay attention to those ping traces I suppose!

- sad that if you’re locked into poor ISP options though it’s likely PoE suffers, it’s the only game that had problems like this for me.

Yo, I just looked at ur screenshot. Ur problem is actually way different than mine but just as bad lol.

Look at the column that says '%' (the second one). That's ur packet loss. Basically, ur computer is sending data and the internet is just... losing it.

Heres the breakdown of why ur connection is dying:

The modem is fine: Row 5 shows 0% loss, so ur router/cables are good.

The ISP is failing immediately: Row 6 (tukw-dsl) shows 23% loss. That means literally 1 out of every 4 things u do in-game (clicking, moving, using a skill) is being deleted before it even leaves ur ISP's neighborhood.

It never gets better: Once u hit those 108.162 rows (Cloudflare/network nodes), ur loss stays around 12% to 17%.

Ur not even hitting high latency like I was (ur 'Last' column is only 21ms), but with 17% packet loss, PoE2 is gonna feel like it's stuttering and freezing every 2 seconds.

Basically, ur ISP (looks like Qwest/Lumen in Seattle?) has a broken node right at the start of ur connection. U gotta call them and tell them u have 20%+ packet loss at your first hop (tukw-dsl-gw77). Thats a physical line or equipment problem on their end. Good luck man, ur in for a long phone call!

Its not your ISP

Game runs fine no issue, then all of the sudden KABLAMO LATENCY SPIKES EVERY 30 SECONDS

I was gaming for the past 3 hours, No issues with latency untill now, so how is this my ISP when its this inconsistent?

Its not, It's the horrible optimization thanks to rushed updates
