Tiamat`s lag — How it looks [147s gameplay]

Below I attach how does lag on Tiamat looks.
This insane lag occurs 90% runs, but meets only 10 (or less)% of players (according to what we see inside Tiamat and on forum reports).
Gameplay:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWgI94b8cEw — 2:27 gameplay 1080p FULL HD
If you never met thousands (literally) of deaths during Tiamat, don`t post until watching at least the very few seconds of the gameplay.
Just wanted to show how it looks like from the people with lower internet connection speed.
Since keys are rebound and fall, can`t do anything and just keep dieing until Tiamat ends.
Insane lag followed by key rebind and death wave usually appears right after lowering the first, black head (while moving onto the green head).
TLDR; Goto 1:18
PS
Even if most time just keep dieing, still get a reward (and often Linu`s Favor) as keep getting points (for getting damage?). Often placing about 15th place just by dieing.

I know the insane lag is Astral Seal + The feat, but what the hell messes up the movement?
SO glad I've been done with that sorry excuse of a "Raid" since 2 weeks.
One of the many Control Wizards that misses Shard Of The Endless Avalanche. RIP Shard (Beta-Mod3)
Its Astral Seal made much worse with the effects of burning guidance affecting sometimes 25ppl at once that supposedly creates the slowdown as the connection to the server gets flooded with data.
Oh and seriously need to think about healing yourself sometime. Never seen so many injuries o.0
I never have any lag in the Temple even with AS and KV, the only thing i sometimes have is that the heads are dissapearing and im tanking a ghost.
Think i will make a vid too
NOT having issues anywhere else .
Nothing has changed on my end ( loadout / computer / routing etc ) .
Just some serious problems when in Tiamat .
Everything works good (the video setting is all "low"), and when we are at the Clerics most times starts the lag without any reason until all moving on heads..

What have you shown us in your video is not lag, but severe FPS drop caused by inability of your computer to render graphics.
Would you mind posting your PC's specifications?
As for the solution to your problem, you should lower your graphic settings before entering Temple of Tiamat, and restoring them to previous settings afterwards.
The only thing u can do is config/advanced/ on Boom Intencity, lower it to min, then go to graphics, and set max objects to 2, then hit Alt+Enter, so the game will adjust the ress. of your screen. it solve the problem sometimes. And take a look at advanced tab on video memory limit, sometimes it's reseted to 128mb wich make you lag like hell.
It has nothing to do with the PC's specifications. I can pay Crysis 3 in Full HD and in Timat i have sometimes 1 Frame. It is more like a Problem with the Cryptic engine.
I love how people immediately point to the user's pc as the problem...
The same happens to me and the only way I can fix it momentarily is to jump off a ledge and respawn inside the temple. Once though it was so bad I still couldn't move from the spawn point - and this after I lowered all my settings to minimum and used the /reduce_mip 1 command. Glad to be done with Tiamat on 2 of my 3 toons. CBA about boons 6 and 7.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
drinnth propably describbed the details of issue.
Especially in comparation to advice from the dev about Tiamat:
Th problem is not and never was in textures. The problems is in server performance, calculating too many and too complex damages/heals at same time. Things like KV and AS influence all damage and all heals in their area of effect, which increases significantly complexity of calculations and server starts lagging.
I'm really hoping the devs aren't still looking at this as if it's a pure graphical issue (or no longer looking at it at all). It has nothing to do with graphics other than it seems to get a bit worse if your settings are too high. The problem itself is the interactions of the various powers on too many players at once. I go in with the sliders to zero, post, bloom and all extras turned off on a mad dog pc and I still can get literally frozen in place and killed by targeted AOEs. Even the menus become completely unresponsive. This happens even when nothing but level geometry is being displayed on the screen.
Telling to tell ppl to adjust their settings isn't helpful. Getting DCs to stop using AS in the fight is helpful.
FPS drop shown in OP's video is caused by poor PC performance, however, if you feel like it, you can just keep on yelling at people for using Astral Seal and crossing the red line.
In the mean time, OP should consider using injury kits, as injuries cause poor player performance.
Maybe I misunderstood but I thought the op was saying he got bugged and was in a death loop.
Well, I'm rather tired of seeing people complain about the lag all the time, and that is why I only adressed the "lag" part of OP's post, however I do admit that his problem is rather peculiar.
Sorry for the offtopic.
Lol, no, the server isn't doing "more math". This is one of the most ignorant things I've seen on this forum.
Actually I made a packet sniffer to see what is happening during lag spikes. Server is just not sending data, which means it is either overloaded doing something else or it's network is overloaded. there is no difference in traffic when someone activates KV, so it has to be server performance problem.
its not constant lag as you can see some people have for months. characters suddenly froze (funny it look like figures at respen game) and cant move or have lag spikes but cant even coordinate direction. you may want hide near fire camp to prevent bug instance for everybody else, but your toon slightly move opposite direction and end over the cliff. then he froze and you cant even respawn. for one minute..... for 5 minute ... you can maybe couse bugged instance couse you are behind red line. when you finally respawn, you can only stand or lay there, looks like you only afk. this is tiamat lag....
