High Network MS spikes

Recently I have been experiencing high Network spikes which gives me stutters and causing a lot of deaths on my characters. This week it's so bad that I can't run max mod maps because I need to keep in mind I can die once in a map because of it. I tested with PoE1 and I have the same problem. The weird thing is that I don't have this in any other games. I have been troubleshooting for the past week and I can't find any solution to this problem. I am also not sure if this is coming from my side or GGGs side. Does anyone experience the same problems as me?

Troubleshooting:

- Change Gateways
- DirectX11-12-Vulkan
- Clear Cache & increased Cache size
- Speed tests (no issues or remarkable outcome)
- Different hours of the day (problem stays the same)
- Closing background programs / overlays
- Reinstall PoE2
- Changed NVIDIA 3D settings
- Clean Installed GPU Drivers

I am lost and I don't know how I can continue playing the game like this. I enjoy the game a lot but it is taking away the fun. I really hope someone can help me. Thanks!

If you’re referring to today, there are just some server issues going on.

But periodically these spikes happen to me. If I’m solo, I just f1 and pause until the spikes relax. If I’m in a group with leeches I tell their asses to wait up. And they wait. Me dead = they dead.

They last less than 60s for me typically. Couple months ago I was having them last longer but until today, they hadn’t last very long. I have no defense for ggg it’s pretty annoying no matter how long as it does get me killed sometimes too.

Most of your troubleshooting has absolutely no impact on your network though, just FYI. Network is network, your gpu performance doesn’t help it at all. But I get why frustration would have to try it.

Bad hops to Poe servers is likely the sole issue. :(
