More info and analysis about the "lag" which brought by the new patch!

Hello folks,

Yesterday we had another 3v3 game to see if things were fixed, as one of our friends could enter and enjoy a 4v4 game the other day. We started playing, nothing up to feudal age, to castle age, and after people put up their town centers up and fights started around, game starts to lag.

We paused the game, and saw that our friend has this little red icon next to his name. We didn't want to play further with the lag, so we made an experiment, we asked our friend to resign.

He resignes. The game is still laggy.

We ask him to leave spectating.

The moment he stops spectating, game is back to normal again! No lag!

So, what gives? Devs changed the game so this guy's computer couldn't handle a 20-year old game anymore? It was just fine a week ago.
