Bug #247

Players Experience 5-60 Second Lag Spikes Upon Joining Host

Status:	New
Priority:	High

Reported for:	S05.07

Steps to Reproduce

1. Players join host (this doesn't effect the host only those who join)
2. mid to late mission it will lag for 5-60 seconds
3. it will either catch up with the unaffected people or show player has disconnected
4. sometimes happens during in mission events such as going to the next stage or when multiple events happen at the same time

Explanation

I wasn't able to find a related topic to this issue. When playing with a friend or 2 the people who join the host will have moments of a kind of lag spanning between 5-60 seconds then bam the game catches back up and you can play as normal. 1 out of 10 times the player will actually disconnect, and there has only been 1 crash out of like 50 dives. I will say, this is all pc, all with decent computers(i7's or better and 4060 graphics cards) and all the drivers and dx12 are up to date. One idea was that we live far apart but we all have great internet 2 of us have fiber and the other is 1gig coax. I will add a video if i can record it fast enough but its like extreme lag.
