What a weird league performance wise.

For me, when the league first released it ran great for a few days. Then a few days later I was lagging/stuttering/slide showing so bad it became unplayable, so I stopped playing until they had a fix for it. 3.13.1 came out, saying they fixed the texture streaming, so I started playing again, and it ran great again.

Now, today, the performance is even worse. I tried to grit my teeth through a map hoping the issue would resolve itself, and I was lagging so bad and performance was so shit that my fps would constantly dip into the single digits multiple times a second, turning into a slide show, even with numerous textures and monsters not loading, and multiple times completely freezing for 20-30 seconds. 5 times the game froze so long I got kicked out of the game. This was just trying to do 1 map.

As a complete novice, I've been speculating that this texture streaming has caused a memory leak somewhere; or maybe certain textures are messed up in some way where certain areas load fine, and others like shit; or maybe the streaming from host to client isn't working right for everyone, since some people can play fine and others can't, and people like me, have the game run fine sometimes and like shit other times.

Who the hell knows. What's aggravating is GGG pushing this out onto their customers without fully testing it themselves, or reverting the change until they figure out the worst problems, expecting us to bug test stuff that makes the game unplayable. It's really unprofessional.
