Lag due to CPU spikes in Path of Exile 2.

After trying everything human possible. Joining chat were nobody is fixed all random spikes. Seems that chat need some more polishing :)

Again still a issue, 4080 super ryzen 9. Ill turn all the settings to the lowest level still happens...

I had the same issue with CPU spiking constantly. Joining empty global/trade chats fixed the issue. Even with the chats hidden it still spiked the CPU every time a message was sent to the channels.

well try to 1 ) delete log file in game folder 2) or type /clear in chat every X amount of time and also join global/trade channels liek 9234, so it wouldnt connect to other populated ones, cause have a feeling it still logs their chats even of u are not using them. This will help u

Actually i may have found the root cause: Its chat messages.
Iam able to recreate massive cpu lag by simply quickly enabling and disabling chat in the options.
Iam usally in Global 1 and Trade 1 (though hidden). Now if i go to another global/trade that nobody uses my spikes disappeared. So far this is the only things that made the spikes disappear and it also explains the strange intervals of the spikes. Every time someone writes a message in chat you get a massive cpu spike. There may be more to it but i think thats it.

I really didn't expect this to work, because it sounds so damn 'out there' and 'this can't POSSIBLY be the thing that's overloading my CPU',

but yup, switching to #200+ for Global and Trade chat fixed my CPU spike crashes as well. This is about as dumb as it is hilarious. In either case, thanks!

Fixed my issues as well (chat swapping), thanks!

I found a solution for myself (xeon e5 2650 v4). Poe 2 cannot use processor cores completely normally, as it is written in the topic.
So
1 download ThrottleStop
2 install it
3 change Clock Mod to 1 left arrow ( 100 => 93.75% )
4 Press the Save button ( don't forget to Turn On )
Everything should work without PROCESSOR spikes
If it didn't help, then in the same program
1 go to section C2 or C1 (you may have a different value)
Expand the list ( Right Arrows )
2 Change the Package C State icon to - C1
3 Press C States - AC and mark Off
4 Click Apply
After these actions, everything should work.

Just found this thread via search engine and despite my reservations simply leaving global 1 and trade 1 fixed my spiking, I can't believe it.

Thanks!

dude, thank you for making this post, and even more for your reply about the root cause. been dealing with stutters for such a long time and changing to unpopulated chat channels made all the difference, alleviates the biggest annoyance the game presents for me.

The chat bug dates back to POE1, it's at least 8yrs old at this point.

Fix:

Options > Interface > Disable Global/Trade Chat

In chat window type:

/global 999
/trade 999
/clear

Delete the "logs/Client.txt" in the Path of Exile 2 game directory, mine had over 10k lines of junk in there.
