Fix for Network Disconnects and High MS Issues in PoE2

Hello, fellow players!

I wanted to share a solution for an issue I've been experiencing with PoE2. My MS would spike to 10k+ and the game would disconnect, causing my PC to lose internet connection. This has been going on for a while, and I couldn't pinpoint the cause at first.

Then, I remembered that when I first played the game, I didn't encounter this issue. The only notable change I made was switching the upscale mode to Nvidia DLSS. After switching it back to NIS (Default), the network spikes and disconnects were gone.

Another way I resolved the issue was by upgrading to Windows 11. That temporarily fixed the network disconnects, but it introduced a new problem: my PC would lock up and I'd have to perform a hard reset. I then reverted back to Windows 10, changed the upscale mode back to NIS (Default), and the network spikes and disconnects have not returned.

If you're experiencing similar issues, I hope this helps you out!


Best regards,
A fellow player

-Update: After running a few maps, the issue has returned.

I am having the same exact problem, not sure how to correct this.

Don't know what's the issue, but I guess something with GGG servers, cause every patch or minor fix it gets back. Stays for a day or two and then gone again. Can't find a way around this :(

I have the same thing for a few days now, it's a tragedy, I've changed everything, I've checked everything and I don't know how to fix it, please take care of it
