The Hotbar goes very unresponsive once the player count on the server reaches 20+ players.
This is an issue for us that uses the hotbar to quicker load our weapons as we must either start jogging for a brief moment or we must stand still for it to respnd.
Is this an issue tied to the server performance or the legacy animation system as the hotbar works wonders when there are 10 players or less on and becomes worse and worse the more players that joins in.
Join a Semi full Server and use the hotbar when running or jogging and you'll notice that either, you'll have to spam the corresponding button many times or you must simply stand still for a brief moment so the action goes through.
For sure, this has been an issue since dawn days of DayZ, but I figured that with the improvement to the server performance and the step forward with 60 slot servers I thought that now the hotbar should work better also knowing how the developers push for the "Use the hotbar to reload" instead of going into the inventory each time.
I think it would be better if the client handled the hotbar and actions performed instead of waiting for the server to register every single action, it's safer that the server manages most actions and events in the game but to a certain point it hurts the experience of playing when playing on a high pop server and you rely on the server being fast enough with bandage actions and reloads and whatever else that is important.
