Server Lag?
New, HighPublic

Description

I want to bring attention to the issue of a server wide "lag spike" or freeze that I've intermittently seen the entire time I've been playing. The players' screen/audio will freeze for 5-10 seconds while events continue to happen around them. I've confirmed by playing with several friends that it seems to affect players server-wide simultaneously. I've been playing on XBOX for ~2 weeks now on mostly NA servers. I've experienced these freeze ups on every server I've played on, and you shouldn't have any problem reproducing them because they occur at least every 15 minutes or so. At first they were only a minor inconvenience, but after getting killed by otherwise easily avoidable zombies once and losing cars to auto accidents caused by this freeze, I've come here hoping to have this addressed. Currently I don't see any reason to invest the time and resources into repairing any vehicles in the game when I know that I will inevitably see these freeze ups and just have to hope that I'm driving through an empty field when they occur.
