Community ManagerOur servers are not overloaded. 7:00 is prime time in most areas. It's entirely possible there is a high amount of traffic in your neighborhood that is causing this.
Thanks for all the feedback. We'll continue to monitor our servers for issues.
You mention this - "I launch the game - one game shows latency of 16 ms and it's smooth. It nears peak hours, next game, same latency, but gameplay slower and then slower the game that follows. What does it tell you? Because you are not facing it, it means necessarily client's error? "Maybe" you route through a chill network and that's why, and many don't."
I know that just because I don't have lag, it doesn't mean there are no problems. However, that's still not due to our servers. If someone is facing lag due to congestion, that's on the network they are on and out of our control.

Our fiberoptic cable is not overloaded. Hell, it's not even 20% utilized during peak hours. As for transparency my ISP shows statistics on their customers website.
