I get lags on my client after every new news update example after luck glow I have lag spikes and after magic storm news etc... since friday, terrible lags and nearly non bearable hunts
right at the bottom is "Update game files at startup" ticked?
to my knowlegde each time there is new news or event new files is send to client. if this option is not ticked then the game client will update while you play and you might experience slower connection based on your hardware or internet speed.
Yea I was fishing and Just got a major lag where I was fish the same first over 5min it was like it was just stuck in the middle of fishing this lag was nuts.
