Lag Spikes & Crashes

Hi GGG.

I see there are a lot of threads on this, but I have recorded a video of the problem.

Whenever you click to move somewhere, be it in a map or hideout the game experiences serious lags.

I've ran a pingplotter and traceroute to verify that it is not my internet connection but rather somewhere between client and server or possibly server side?

This problem has been severe since the launch of Settlers of Kalguur and isn't improving. Sometimes the game is barely playable while other times it's smooth.

Is there anything that can be done client side to combat this? Changing between lockstep/adaptive does not seem to help at all as the one does this stuttering lag while the other makes everything have a 5-10 second delay.

It's so bad that the game is really not playable when this happens.

As you will see in the video linked below, the latency at times is stable, but there are serious jitter issues, maybe this is something that can be fixed?

Furthermore, the game crashes on opening and sometimes on loading the character screen. I've had to re-open the game like 6-7 times before it functions properly.

Eventually I had to make a bat script to launch the game as administrator and sometimes that resolves the issue.

exactly the same lags at evening time only (20:00-23:00 gmt+3). Every day at the same time. The provider replied that the problem was not on its nodes.
