    Recently in many games I have been experiencing massive lag spikes. I have a bad internet connection, but I've never had this much lag while playing PA. Is there an issue with the build that puts more load on the server? Or are there way more people enjoying the new build now?

    I have noticed that too, sometimes big lag spikes and I'm using LAN. But if you have the chance to play with LAN, do it, it helps me before very much.

    I think you mean Ethernet cable.
    LAN == local area network.

    There was other two topics about same issues, e.g one of them:
    https://forums.uberent.com/threads/constant-freezing-late-into-the-game.55728/
    I guess it's something wrong in current build.

    It's not affect server performance because one server only host 8 games all the time.
    When more people playing UberNet just run more servers.

    Yes, this looks similar, however, i've had it happen when I don't even have that many units. I'll have maybe 200 units on screen total. And my computer is quite good, before you ask.

    I've heard a lot of people having similar connectivity issues while talking to guys in the lobby.

    Also, I've noticed in more recent games, that often when it freezes, most unit animations still continue running, and I can still give orders and move the camera around. I can't do that with normal lag.
