Unstable clients, frustration from long time supporter

Hi.

I honestly been a long time supporter.

However the current state of the game, with COG WHEEL Spinnging and Freezing, but on PC and PS5, and no real communication and plan for the issue, is really frustrating.
I love playing the game and the content. But normally GGG is more communicative about issues. This have been ongoing since POE 2, 0.3, and it have only gotton worse.

I have 1000 MBIT Wired Internet.
I Use PS5 PRO

For PC, i just got new, and have issues on both Old and new PC.

GGG Please share thoughts and plan to fix this. i know Client Crashes is on known bug list, but it have been for months and nothing changes.

Well I play on PC and in general this hadn't been an issue. It was off and on the last few times I played but it was all network related just as when a map first loads and you studder or freeze if you have the tools open you see huge latency spikes. Same thing is why I see long load time but that for me wasn't an issue for the first 3 or 4 weeks anyway and certainly not since last league.

I've been getting increasingly frustrated with the same... If it was my PC or my connection, i'd fix it. Knowing that its the game, and having it go on for so long has been really frustrating. I encourage the devs to slalom the Trial of Sekhemas traps while the game is stuttering, freezing, and then warping. It really needs to be fixed. And none of the crashes seem to have been fixed... They just don't crash you to desktop anymore. argh...

A smooth running game should be the highest priority.

Yeah.

This started with hard crashes in 0.2, they atleast fixed this, but the COG WHEEL FREEZE once every hour or so is really annoying on PC, and PS5 it happens way more often, even sometime just to open your atlas.

I fully support this thread, I have the exact same problems.

Lately the client stability has been really frustrating. I get the same cog wheel spinning freezes, random stutters and short lockups during normal gameplay. It happens regularly and completely breaks the flow of the game.

Just like the OP, this is not a hardware or connection issue on my end. My setup is stable, and I do not have these problems in other games. The fact that it keeps happening for many players across different systems strongly suggests this is a client-side problem.

It feels like the hard crashes were reduced, but instead we now have:

frequent freezes

cog-wheel stalls

Which is honestly just as disruptive.

Given that i'm seeing a lot of purchased supporter tags in the replies here, I feel like this is something GGG should really be paying attention to.
