:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
When I play 1vs1 (ranked or quickplay) the opponent experiences severe lag. The clock next to my name turns yellow, but my game runs mostly smoothly, I don’t experience any lag or slowdowns, but my opponents continue to complain.

The ping settles at 45-55 ms. Fps seems normal. Started experimenting this since last patch.

Happened to have a game streamed by an opponent, that’s what she had:

Hi @Albeman3246
Could you tell me at what time in the stream she started having this issue? Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi,
I think I found out the problem.
The clock won’t turn yellow if I turn down the Anti-alias text feature in the graphic options.

Other anti-aliasing options does not affect the game, only the text option does.
Before the last patch, I had no problem at all with this.

I can play without anti alis text, but I informed you since it’s still a sort of bug.
