Hydroid Tentacle Swarm (With Pilfering Swarm) Causes Lag Spikes And Crashes.

[dummifighter]

Like the titel says, when Hydroid spawns his Tentacles, me and some friends start lagging, fps drops from 60 to around 15, frame time to 500 and then the game freezes. sometimes it starts again, other times it says: connection to the host has been lost, while my internet is fine, and my friends to (same operator).  The game freezes for about 30seconds.

I'd like to see a fix for this plse...

I can confirm that this also happens to me. It usually happens with a max power strength Pilfering Swarm Tentacle cast that nets a lot of loot at once, as if it's a hang on a complex physics calculation.

 

I have an i5 2500k @ 4.1 gHz, 290x, running the game on a HDD, 8gb system memory.

Same here, I was playing with 2 friends and one of them was using pilfering swarm. It appears that at some point when swarm is used one of the clients simply crashes. Over 4-5 games (Void t1 and t3 survival) we got 3 crashes, host never crashed.
And oddly it happens approximately at 27-37th minute.

We also tried to reproduce this with Vauban's vortex and it never gave as much lag and never crashed.
