Strange lag problems...

I originally made a post in cRPG technical problems section, but now I've sussed that this problem only occurs with WSE2 enabled I figured I'd move it here, I'll just copy & paste it because I'm lazy:

After coming back to cRPG after a year or so long break I've been experiencing some very strange lag spikes. Every now and then I'll be fighting away minding my own business when suddenly I'll be unable to move for a brief moment, I'll then rocket around uncontrollably, after a moment returning to normal although I usually die because of it. I have WSE2 installed, everything is in order, native works fine and it's certainly nothing to do with my PC hardware as it's more than capable of running Warband.

Edit: Bit more info, sometimes they can be very very brief, where I'll be running, stop for half a second, shoot forward, carry on as normal. The lag spikes are also around 15 seconds between each other on average and my ping stays steady at 40 and doesn't budge, or at least it goes back to 40 so quickly that I can't catch it during a spike. (Although I used to get 15 ping back in the day, not sure why I get more now, could it be related to these problems I'm having?) It also tends to do it a LOT more after bumping into a wall on horseback or dismounting.

Edit:
Lag appears to have gotten worse, would be nice if someone had any idea what could be causing this, it makes footwork impossible.

I have the same Problem, but without wse2 running. I have some Lagspikes too sometimes 'bout 5-10 Seconds (also eu-ping 'round 40), very annoying if you ride or going melee ..or hold the Shield "too late" up for an incoming Arrow.
Anyway .. i had this not on beginning/early going after install of crpg. Only since about 2 Month's/some Patch-Version's or so. I have no clue why ..but i assume it depends from Patch/Version. Maybe from Harddisk (my HD is not defragmented) ..from specific (graphical?) Options/Settings ...or from the Music-Folder while reload a Song. Maybe sooner or later we figured it hopefully out.

lovely greets; Braxli.

Same issue on my end. Rubber banding like a bloody maniac - and my internet is at the fastest it's been for years, so it can't be on my end. My ping will go from 70>210>440>80 in the space of a minute. Nightmare, really, and makes playing nearly impossible. In regards to the ping, however, it doesn't seem to matter what the ping is, low or high, it'll rubber band.

Can be amusing when walking across a bridge and suddenly you've fallen off and died. Other than that, not really.

Noticed a similar issue. My ping is on a constant 15-20, yet I rubberband a lot. As in, I can hit/block etc. without delay, but any movement is extremely delayed. Quite noticeable on the duel server: I can still do feints, holds, spam etc. but using footwork is impossible. What I noticed too is that this only comes to play when there are few people on the server. :shock: I can play the full siege or strat servers, but on duel mode (with few people on) or other servers early in the morning, I rubberband.

I've started getting this issue today, my ping stays the same at 56, and my fps is stable but I rubberband, I too seem to be able to block/swing just normally but i can't walk without freezing randomly.

Ok I think I found what was causing my issue! What happened:

I downloaded and installed a mod called Persistent Frontier and was planning to play it after a strat battle, I was waiting in strat server dueling and noticed the rubberbanding. I tried rebooting my client several times, and my network etc none of it fixed the issue. I uninstalled Persistent Frontier, and the problem was solved.

No idea how this can have caused the rubberbanding, but maybe some dev can give some insight ;p I would like to be able to play persistent frontier without having rubberbanding on crpg.
