I've been running 7 Days servers with a friend since Alpha 13, and we usually hit the experimental branch as soon as it's available. This is not something I've seen before so I wanted to bring it up. I asked on Discord but was basically told "It's early access, don't complain." Maybe someone in this venue actually cares to advise if this is a game bug with the networking (that we all know Steam has been tinkering with) that may be worth filling out a bug report for.
Anyway, I'm getting extreme lag spikes. My ping will vary from about 60 up to 500+ and I get lots of odd behavior such as zombies and other players that seem to fly and phase through walls, teleport from where they are to right in front of me, or hit me when they appear to be several blocks away. I have never seen this behavior before and I'm trying to figure out if it's a known or common issue or if I have a bad install. But, I have had this behavior confirmed by another player who also plays
For the record, the server is at a friends house about 10 miles from here. We both have gigabit fiber with low latency. He can play fine, but the game is practically unplayable for me and the other player. This does not happen with Ark servers hosted on the same physical machine, and we've never seen it before a21. Even crazy modded A20 servers like Undead Legacy and Darkness Falls ran smooth as silk. We're not getting any odd resource usage spikes or anything on the servers or network equipment either.
Edit: My FPS counter sits solid on 60 fps. I'm not getting any frame drops and my machine resource usage is pretty normal for playing a game.
