If you have lag/connectivity issues making the game unplayable/annoying, post here and be counted.

Unplayable on every server. You have to relog every time you go to a town. For a game with party incentives, what a total joke. Guaranteed 1.7k+ latency in any group. Started noticing this in A3 Merciless before the .11 patch came out. You can't say its our ISPs or routers and brush us off. This is something to consider before the final release GGG...

I can log in to game and play for about 30 sec, and then I get kicked to login screen and the message "an unexpected disconnection occurred" appears. Is there any fix for this? I used to play this couple months before but I just moved recently so maybe that's have something to do with it? I already tried different gateways but no help. :(

same with me. using singapore server because i'm from malaysia..5 minutes of play time and went to login screen

please fix this

Similar to the above poster. I'm from Malaysia and having frequent disconnection every 2-5 minutes of gameplay in regardless of which gateway I joined (often joined Singapore since its within the closest proximity). Couldn't even complete a single instances at free leisure, before being sent back to login screen. Mobs are moving like 'powerpoint slides', 1 moment in front and next moment out of the map or behind my character. Despite playing alone, the game becomes pretty laggy while mobs clusters and skill spamming involved.

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with ISP or home connection, working fine for other arpgs and mmo. My bro and myself were getting frustrated with these issues since the launch of Anarchy league.

Appreciate if you could look further into this and rectify it the soonest possible.

Never had an issue playing PoE, every now and then I had a few latency spikes during peak hours but that is expected with any online game and it didn't bother me much, I don't play hardcore anyways so I know this is a much bigger deal for others that do.

BUT, starting 2 days ago I have not been able to play without horrible latency spikes and FPS drops to 1-2 fps for a few seconds, getting me killed. I have been playing anarchy and I'm posting because in the last hour I have died 4 times trying to clear docks due to rubberbanding/1 fps instances where I stand in a voidbearers fire for a few seconds while the game tries to catch up to my character, instantly killing me.

I am already sitting at a constant 400 latency which is very very high for me (I play most other games and previously PoE at around 100 max) so it's definitely something server side that has mucked up.

Been having issue of lag since the new patch week till now. Morning 7am to 10am, i can play the game without any prob. Ping range from 60 to 100 but mostly stable at 60. After 10 or 11 am, i get to 300 range. Around 4pm onwards my ping starts to beat like a normal heart rate up and down from 60 to 900 range. Lastly after 7 or 8pm it get worse and the ping going ping pong or like someone having a heart attack...

Country : Malaysia
ISP : Telekom Malaysia - Unifi
Gateway - Singapore

I'm having the exact same problems as SexyErza. Same country & ISP too. The only way that I can find to make the game bearable now is to turn shadows completely off, not even basic shadows can be used. It smoothens out the massive FPS spikes quite a bit. Well to be frank it doesn't really smooth out the spikes but it gives u a much higher max FPS so even with the spikes there its still above 30fps. I know, without shadows enabled the game looks like crap.

Yeah, same problem as everyone else.

I'm at 120+fps and my ping is about 40-60 but every 10th second or so the connection just goes bananas, peaking at 400-500 or just logs me out.

And there's no problem on my side. All other games runs with a good and stable ping and I'm able to watch streams with high quality.

Fix the ping or make a LAN-version so we at least can play it through Hamachi or something.

Same problem here with the disconnects, I can play for about 2-4 minutes, and I get disconnected.

I appreciate what you guys are doing and all, but you should be able to admit to us after all of these hundreds of people have stated that they have connectivity problems ONLY with Path of Exile, that you need better servers.

Maybe you should do a kickstarter, or some other crowd-funding project. This community is here to help. We want to play, and help this game get better, maybe accepting donations is in order. If money is of no object, then why the fuck do hundreds, of not thousands of players have a shitty connections and disconnect problems?

Jussayin'.

Im getting frequent 'unexpected' disconnects, which is hilarious since now i'm expecting them every minute.
Also i keep getting 'failed to connect to instance' errors >constantly< while i play on the european AND american gateways, so i had to switch to the singapore one and i'm scrotum deep in latency city atm, but strangely enough - i no longer 'fail' to connect to instances.

For me the game really went to absolute shit in terms of connectivity after the 0.11 patches.
Congratulations, keep it up.
