Massive latency issues - constant

Let me preface the below with - when the game works I'm absolutely loving it and despite the below issues (and the amount of hours I've spent trying to fix it) I've still managed to get to end-game at the end of the fourth day.

Been playing the the original game since launch - up until now its been relatively bug free - till the Third edict launched - ever since latency issues in the game only (checking the latency of the pc and its still sitting at 26ms while the game is telling me 40k latency..) the latency can be anything from up and down from 2-3k to the normal 20ms i am usually on constantly for 2-5 mins or it kicks me out or to the highest I've seen before the crash was 40k. Meanwhile while it was rocketing up the internet is not showing any issues, i could run all testing in the background and it was showing normal speeds and ping.

Can't complete maps because the game either kicks me out after the latency sky rockets or it lags and i get caught out by a bunch of mobs or the boss attacks.

System
AMD 7800X3D
AMD 7900xtx GPU
32gb Ram
Running windows 11 home
40" 4k Screen 100mhz (plus two side monitors both 32" 4k)

Internet test via ookla shows 930-950Mb/s down 45-47Mb/s up 9ms ping

I've done the following so far in game
Turned down almost all of the settings - even capped the game to 60fps
changed servers between Australia and New Zealand repeatedly
Change from Vulkan to DirectX12 multiple times
Turned on and off the following triple buffering, Dynamic culling as well as changed various other settings basically turning everything down


Outside of the game I've done the following
downloaded, installed and run the game from the ggg site instead of running it through steam
Tried using a VPN
Changed multiple settings in AMD Adrenaline from Hyper-RX to Hyper-eco
Did the usual reset the modem/router

I think the only thing I've not done is use another pc to test it (don't have one) and am beyond frustrated trying to figure it out.. when it works its so much fun to play.. but everything i see is that the pc is not having an issue and this is purely server side issues.

Anyone else having the same issues?

Same here.

Game runs fine, but will randomly spike to 3-4k MS every 20s or so. There was no connection between skill use and the spikes; it happens at semi-random intervals of 15-20s.

I've tried adjusting all network settings, graphic settings, buffering, even audio channels; nothing has resolved the ms spikes.

Problem is present on Washington DC, Canada East, and Texas

System:
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT
128GB DDR5 RAM
Windows 10 Pro

1GB Ethernet (tried both ethernet and wi-fi; also restarted router)
Monitored internet connection during spikes, only PoE 2 was affected.

This needs serious attention from GGG, it is such a miserable experience for those affected by this. Count yourself lucky that you are now just experiencing it this patch, many of us, myself included have been dealing with this issue since EA launch.

There is nothing we can do, other than to keep on mentioning it until they do something, this is an issue with their networking.

Happy to say the problem seems to have been fixed - not sure if it was the free weekend causing issues or if the problem was patched by I'm back to a solid 20ms

Using game via steam (cause i loaded that automatically yesterday) and its working as intended!
