Ever going to fix this?

Are the devs ever going to fix the awful lag at the higher difficulties? When you play at something like brutal/insane with onslaught enabled, the lag is unberable when large swarms spawn and everyones pings spike. The only fix for it is being the host, everyone else on the server will lag, regardless if it's a local or dedicated server.

PLEASE FIX THIS

That's related to system and network ressources.

If the host computer can't handle 50 swarms rushing at once and he's hosting from brazil, sure things will get choppy for you. That's just logical.

Who said anything about Brazil? lol

These lag spikes happen on dedicated servers that I ping 30-50ms to! Everyone on the server will have perfect smooth gameplay, but once a huge swarm spawns, everyone's ping on the server will spike from low 50's to 200+. As soon as the swarm is killed the pings return to normal.

Check beyond Insane thread in "Modding", if I'm not mistaken, honk found a workaround for this issue (server-side).
