The Aura System & Lag

I love this game, i really do, but the lagging constantly is frustrating, skillchecks are almost impossible to hit, and im running the killer and i have to press space bar 7 secs early to avoid the killer being able to hit me. I find it ridiculous everytime a new patch comes out theres like 3 or 4 bugs that comes with it and thats very frustrating. The devs shouldnt worry about the new killer or the next map that comes out. I honeslty could go a month without a new killer or a new map, I just want the lag to be fixed.

The new Aura System, ohhh boy, i literally thought i was going blind due to the fact that the killer aura was sooooooo small. With alert, object of obsession, bbq&chilli and other aura perks its almost impossible to see other players far away. I have to put a magnifying glass up to my screen in order to see. Its ridiculous to have to look so hard at the screen to find players and even the killer. Please change it back to normal.

There's other stuff wrong with the game but ima just leave this due to the fact that im lazy af and dont feel like writing anything more then this... Devs fix the game the game that YOU designed.

    This game has so much staying power with a simple premise, but it's this kind of thing that will drive people away. I'm assuming, BHVR, that you actually want to retain customers and make more money. Maybe don't drive them blind or unable to play due to lag.

    The other parts of the game that need to be fixed are what make this aura change thing even more infuriating. They've got a list of acknowledged problems. Rather than spend time fixing any of those they actually devoted time to changing auras, and broke them in the process.

    +1, can confirm, servers are laggy and auras are looking worse than before. Bring back the old auras please.

    I can confirm that there are micro lags since the update and the auras look awful. I can't see Survivors who are far away with BBQ or any other aura perk like Kindred.

    The lags turn Skillchecks to lucky hits as well as your movement.
