Constant Lag Spikes Died multiple times due to lag spikes need help troubleshooting my issue

As The title had mentioned, I have died multiple times due to lag spikes, I have also researched on forumns and multiple guides on how to minimize my lag spikes problem to no avail.

At 1st I was using wifi connection, apparently it was causing the lag spikes according to forumns and guides, but then I changed to cable connection, still no change. It is getting really frustrating, please help.

I have a 100mbps connection, and I live in malaysia, so I ussually play using the singapore or japan server, singapore has low ping, but spikes like crazy, while japan has higher ping but generally more stable. But still the issues prevail.

I play on predictive mode, Lockstep is just not a game but a motion picture on a bad playback. I really do not know what is the issue, POE is the only game Ive had this issue so far. Ping will Spike all the way to 2k plus. Especially when I activate some instances like breach or Betrayal. breach is unplayable most of the time, as the lag will set in and I will just see the breach circle expand while everything stops moving. And then when the net finally sync with the server I'm dead.

well you have to make detailed WinMTR reports (500+ packets) while you play.
What you should do is do a multi WinMTR -->

1. You start the first putting in the gateway you connect to and have that running all the time.

2. Then you start the game and when you go into a map, you look in your client.txt file and find the instance IP and that IP you put into the second WinMTR and have that running while you play the map.

Try that and post the result here.

I'm not sure I understand the second instruction.

Edit1: aaaaaaaand I'm plagued by this issue again, died 4 times in minotaur map due to lag spikes, and wasted zana mission wtf is this shit man wasted 40% exp at level 91 as well as a minotaur and zana map wtf is this man so infuriating, is there anyway I can request for my exp rollback? wasted so much of progress through no fault of my own, I really like this game, but these things are really grinding away my interest fast. I'm starting to regret spending on this game at all...

Edit2: To Be Honest I'm not even that bothered with the lost of maps, but losing exp to lag spikes is fucking infuriating. Just fucking remove the exp penalty already until ggg can figure out what exactly is causing connectivity issue for most people. Why punish players when its not their own fault. Until GGG can provide a stable connective play environment I feel this exp penalty should really be put on hold.

I agree 100000%. I have fast internet, a very fast PC, hell I even have a Samsung 950 Pro SSD, so there is nothing wrong with my PC. But from the 3-4 hours I try to play PoE a day, 30-40 percent of this time the game is PLAIN UNPLAYABLE because of the lag spikes. The most important thing to invest in, would be to correct if this is a netcode issue or really just get more powerful servers with adequate bandwith.

I'm somewhat new to the game and I'm already starting to regret wasting so much time with this otherwise cool game.

Best gaming setup , 100mbps net...and i get lag spikes all the time. It's not on our end. Its disheartening with the lack of...well.. anything.
Maybe AFTER the melee patch we can get some game optimization.

SO it really is a widespread issue...

my gaming setup isnt the best but suffice to handle poe
gtx 1050
i7-7700
8gb ddr3
poe stored on ssd

I have also tried using the standalone client, thuoght itd solve the issue as Ive seen someone posted about it on forumn. Didnt help, same of bullshit story of random lagspikes

bro I have done the 1st step but I'm not quite sure what you meant on the second step, I know how to locate my cleint.txt but how to find the instance ip? I mean the client.txt only refresh the log after I close my game, so how do i know which ip to look for?

no the client.txt file is written to everytime you / PoE does something.
This is what you have to find in it -->
2019/04/20 08:18:55 296409718 da [INFO Client 6120] Connecting to instance server at 185.254.68.229:6112

If your client.txt file is very big, then delete it before starting the game.
And remember, we need both WinMTR running at the same time.
So leave the first run running (the one against your PoE gateway) and start one against the instance you have.

Don't edit anything in them when you post the results. We need the full list / trace so we can see trafik from your pc, going to your ISP router and onto the internet. What you already posted is not correct.
