Game randomly starts downloading causing unplayable lag

Sometimes when I enter a new zone the game randomly maxes out my dogshit internet connection until I Alt F4 it, after restarting it’s no longer downloading anymore. REALLY damn annoying especially on German internet!

LE is server authoritative meaning there’s always going to be a decent amount of comms to/from the server. Just how bad is your Internet? @heavy doesn’t seem to have any problems.

I’m sitting on 6Mbit/s which has been good enough for >400 hours during beta and 1.0.
Fiber is coming August to late September tho
These recent lag spikes which are caused by LE randomly maxing out my connection are HIGHLY unusual.

That is very weird.

GOT A SCREENSHOT OF IT!
Please someone look at this shite, what the hell is happening?!
The game is just randomly maxing out my connection WITHOUT EVEN WRITING ANY DATA?!
HELLO?!
My connection is so maxed out I can ONLY restart the game, interaction with the enemies on screen is impossible!

idk why 50% of the screenshot is white and I dont care to fix it

Had this happen the other day, have you restarted your computer? Strangely enough that fixed the issue for me

I have restarted the computer about 5 times since this started happening and it keeps happening in random intervals.

go into steam and verify the game files.

I tried to do a monlith boss and had to restart the game because the boss’s model wasn’t loading and I had no idea where they were. Verified the files and it said some were missing

What is your input latency? Mine is 51 which i think is borderline unplayable

My baseline online latency is 31ms
