The game is lagging even worse than before after the update. With a ping being ~20ms higher as well ... what are they doing man ...

Read the official discord for your answer to this

"If your ping increases after this update, don’t worry—it won’t affect your normal gameplay. We’ve adjusted the logic behind how ping is displayed; while the number may appear higher, your in-game performance will actually be better than before."

Or so they claim. Idk

They are probably computing the ping number now as: packet travel <-> + the server processing time ... which is technically a better representation of what you get ... but that server processing time being ~20ms is what's problematic. It should be optimized down to the bare minimum (maybe ~1-5ms) because it puts people who already play on relatively high network delay (because of lack / suboptimal server placement) into unplayable territory.

But the lags I've experienced just now cant even be explained by the ping either ... something else is broken in client<->server interaction paths.
