Insane lag spikes after latest patch

I'm now getting *ridiculous* lag spikes that keep killing me.

It's not my internet (I have monitoring that shows me throughput and latency).

I wasn't really experiencing these before, not badly enough to complain about them anyway.

As it stands, I can't do Breach, Ritual, etc without dying, because of these lag spikes. Note that I was doing just fine at all this stuff before I went to bed, like 8 hours ago.

Same here.. WTF GGG help us

Same thing started happening to me Saturday after the first few hotfixes. Launch day everything was buttery smooth, however since Sat-Today I've constantly been getting micro lag spikes or even major ones. Solid internet connection on my end nothing else is having issues also able to view network traffic health because I work as a network admin in IT. Changing the server around to a different location fixes nothing.

Thanks for your reports.

If you could provide a video it would help a lot with diagnosing the issue.
Can you also try another Gateway and see if that helps?

I moved on to other activities hoping it was a temporary issue. I'll check it again now and post a video link if it's still bad.

I can describe how it was, since I know there's lots of different "lag spike" type behaviors.

This was the type where the game very rapidly slows down to a standstill, and then, 5-10 seconds later, it comes back alive and runs at turbo speed until you see the the "resurrect in town" dialog.

This would happen when large numbers of monsters spawn at once, such as in Ritual or Breach. The effect lessened in later Ritual Altars in the same map.

It felt to me like it was having trouble loading in the attack animations for the mobs, or something like that, but I could be wrong.

EDIT: I used my one free "add ritual" map craft and it went fine, but the map was not very dense. I should have used a higher pack size map. I'll report back if the problem resurfaces for me, but I'm going back to leveling my other character for now.

I've been affected by it as well, EXACTLY after the latest hotfix was installed.

I opened the game yesterday while the update was still downloading, since it was only a hotfix, it allowed me to log in and play normally, which I did for about an hour. Went to eat something, closed the game, came back, it installed the hotfix, and the very first Breach lagged up the entire game.

The curious thing is that it seems as if the lag is not local, the attack animations themselves are slowed down, and so are the mobs. They die without hitting me, is very hard to explain.

Ill try to record a video of it later.

EDIT: I need to mention that I haven't died a single time since yesterday, despite it happening ALL the time with large quantities of mobs on screen (Breach and Expedition to be exact). For me it is not a normal lag spike which used to just freeze and go turbo mode after a few seconds. The only thing I know 100% is that it began right after installing latest hotfix.

Same here, unplayable since last upadate. I'm experiencing lag when opening the map device. This is insane

Same...

Same problem with lags and the excavation site map is bugged with a lot of distortions and random pixels showing over it

​The game has been like this since the last update: the maps lag quite a bit, but this is also happening in the refuge. I've already changed the Gateway, and the problem remains the same.
