as i have said before , the lag , freeze , delay , stuttering in the menu , lobby is really bad what is this? it was never here before.
this problem has been here ever since it was beta , even in the beta test i had this problem , and now its what.. retail alpha or beta? its worse than ever , along with other stuff not working.
constant sync errors during game not the hack ones either some other problem , bug.
this version has some features fixed and added , but at the same time its broken and made the game pretty much unplayable. also some stuff that you said are fixed is not fixed its
still broken , and not working as intended.
If you open console when game starts..., you can see it doing some actions on REPLAYS you have. It probably checks for mismatching version and HIDEs the replays which version doesn't match your running game on.
While it kinda is OK feature, looks like it had not any thinking on what it could cause on performance.
... You could see a little of loading time increased before btw, when you had like 1000 or 2000 replays in your REPLAYS folder. This is just my gues for one of possible reasons why loby GUI is so lagy atm...
