[PS5] Regular freezes every ~2 minutes linked to network spikes

Hi everyone, I'm playing on the base PS5 console. I'm experiencing game freezes roughly every 2 minutes. When I check the performance metrics during these freezes, I notice a massive spike in the network/latency graph.

This issue is unique to PoE 2 – I don't experience this in other games, and my network is stable on other devices. Is anyone else experiencing this after the latest patch? Any advice on how to fix it would be appreciated.

Same.

It's crazy that this hasn't been fixed yet considering this was also an issue last season. And it makes the game close to unplayable

I have this problem too, especially since they said they were optimizing the game for consoles.
Simply unplayable
