Same. These server issues are just ridiculous. I have 2 GBPS fiber, and I experience zero latency issues with any other game or application. But with POE2 I have sever spikes every few minutes that show 3-7 seconds of 0 communication on the F1 latency graph. Meaning my character freezes and I can't act or see what's going on for up to 7 seconds at a time every couple of minutes or more frequently. Fights in this game take 2-5 seconds in most cases, so this leads to constant deaths and character progression loss.

I live in the north east US and have tried the Canada East and Washington DC servers, both are terrible. My ping usually sits around 20 ms when the server isn't spiking. Spikes regularly go to 7,000 MS on the graph and always last at least 3,000 ms.

I bought this game in EA right when it came out and this has been a problem since day 1. GGG sometimes says they are experiencing DDoS attacks, which would explain the server behavior. The problem is this has been going on for MONTHS at this point. I play for 10-20 hours until the spikes make the game too frustrating, then I put it down for a couple of months. I always come back, hoping that GGG will finally have fixed the server issues. They never do.

I am changing my Steam review from Recommended to Not Recommended today and I suggest everyone else who experiences these server problems that make the game COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE does the same until GGG actually addresses the problem.

Thank you
