Whenever i play online it starts working just fine, just like before update 38259, but the further i get into the game it starts to “lag” more and more, the lag is like that the screen freezes a bit and in late imperial it freezes for a longer while and then the units catch up (speeds up) and i loose all possibility of microing.

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

Just play the game online through ranked game. I do not have this issue when playing in skirmish, it really seems like something with the netcode got screwed up in update 38259
