Massive hit ARPGs Path of Exile or Path of Exile 2 can be tricky. Despite a blazing fast PC and internet connection you still experience lag or latency spikes? You may even be fine in other games but no matter what you do, you seem to have inconsistencies? I fought this for months and have spoken with dozen of others who have suffered the same thing.

Despite replacing a router, NICs and other equipment, none of this improved. It wasn’t until a found a post buried deep within the Google universe that pointed me in the right direct as listed and shown below. At first, I thought “No way. This can’t be related!” Yet the moment I changed these settings and rebooted, all my lag and latency spikes went away.
