Loading is faster, but in game performance are actualy worse?

I've actually been playing since Open Beta. I am not a top tier player, I am not a racer. I am just a casual player who likes to have fun.

Unfortunately, this is the first update I am really having issues with.

The old load times were unfortunate (but at least it was all at once, very rarely experienced load times after launch).

I am running a very expensive set of hardware, with SSD drive, GTX 970, etc, etc. I have a 300 MBs connection, and usually extremely low low ping (25ms usually tops out at 45ms in Texas). I have run the game with max graphic settings on lockstep at over 300 fps with no issues in previous leagues (Don't ask me why, I just do). I push a button, click to move, etc and my character would do it.

Now, that the loading is not happening all at once, 0 frame loss, 0 latency change, and yet, my characters stutter step. I can do things like throw a fire trap, and its delayed up to a whole second later. Sometimes, it then throws 2 firetraps at once. The weird thing about this, is the monsters keep moving... so its almost like it created an input delay more than lag.

I love this game. I get excited each time a new league starts, to try a few new things, and maybe even to play some characters I played in the past. (I delete all my standard characters at the new league, and start over).

This is the first league update, that has ever created an issue like this for me. I thought it was being on lockstep (so I tried going back to the old predictive), it was so bad, I was rubber banding like rapid movement skills used to do back in Open Beta. This isn't a connection issue, again, my latency remains good, my FPS remains good, I haven't had a sound problem, its just this; and its unfortunate that its coming from my favorite game. Already several days into the season, and I still can barely play because the game can no longer keep up with me, instead of me not keeping up with the game.

what you are experiencing is called crumbling... most programmers don't know what this is because all they do is pile code on top of code causing dirty code which has bugs when if not corrected causes viruses. people who restore software to its original state (design performance) know what this is. the game is broken because the code is crumbling.

this is why you did not experience this before now… other players have already been experiencing this years ago and all along the way more and more are having problems.
