We were doing very ...ok before the Christmas Eve patch. Gameplay was good on all of our PC's and also for the folks on our server. There would be a rash of server disconnects after 8-10 hours. We would restart the (hosted) server and be fine for several hours. Now we crash to Windows, have severe lagg that freezes us for 10 or more seconds, and completely freeze every 10-20 minutes. I do not think any of us have been able to play 30 minutes at a time since the update has been installed.
We have not tried any of the weather features so that is not a factor. No server options or client options were updated, including video or sound. We have no Mods. A completely vanilla server.
I am so disappointed. We were looking forward to new content as promised, which was not included. We were looking forward to animal carts, which was not included. But, what we got is a client that is unplayable.
