Ever since the update, I’d had terrible problems with lag and freezing. I cannot play at all unless I solo – because everything freezes. My connection was always a bit slower than most, but now loading time seems markedly increased too.

But this is understandable, it is the first of the patch with some major changes. I hope the devs will find time to look into it soon. I use Windows 7, and have the latest java update. And the game downloaded. 1mbps net speed. 3 Gb Ram and I wasn’t running anything while I was playing.

It's not your PC or you connection. I have quite powerful PC, especially when it comes to runing SK, and pretty good connection, mostly getting 4 bars on EU servers..

I only did two FSC runs after the new UI, and yes, it was almost unplayable. I went solo, but still, I had freezes almost every 10sec. Sure, I had them before, but not as often (mostly just when monsters spawn). I think I've died at least 5 times only beacuse of that.. No, im lying. It was more like 10.

So yea.. It's so fun, dying in the first 10sec in FSC D24 beacuse you simply can't walk around the fire. Nice job.

Lag is awful , Especially in Compounds - Devs Please Help!!!!

Same Problems here , High spec machine , fast fibre optic internet , current updated Java , nothing else running and getting jerky Spiral games , freezes, suddenly appearing dead across the room from where i was after a 5 second pause , even solo. And it's 5x worse in compound levels.

Yup i know you had to introduce new content to keep it fresh , but i have 3 comments/Questions ::

1) Is the sheer amount of enemies , given the endless respawning in compounds , affecting playability?

2) Are the Compound levels really meant to turn up so often? (( just saw 4 in one Tier 2 run ))

3) How can I log in without the steam client running to see if that improves things? Is that even possible?

It's a fantastic game , best fun i've had in a long time , so bright , so colourful , (and im gunna get smacked for this i know) , so cute.

Please look into whats causing this for us.

Seriously?!

I thought the lag was caused by bad connection, because usually my connection are two bars without anyone using the internet at the same time. (shared connection)

I had problems with this in RJP today.

Please devs. Check this.
