game lag since relic release

i can only get videos on my pc atm.  here are just two battles i had issues with in TB yesterday.  the vid shows my best TB team, the game crashed and they got 0/4 points for the mission.

note it was in last 30 mins of the phase so there is a countdown timer that shows just how laggy/staggered the game is in this battle, i can do nothing. i think i got one or two moves off befiore it crashed 40 seconds or so into fight

so then i restarted swgoh, took my 2nd best TB team in next.  i have been seeing this pop up a lot since the relic update:

after i clear that i get put back into the battle but the game freezes while your app tries to re-log/re-verify my google play:

this fight also crashed a minute later, causing me to lose this team's mission battle also.

since this happens on PC as well as phone i have much more access to what is happening.  at NO TIME does my cpu use exceed 20%, the gpu never uses more than 2%, the net usage stays at 0.0 to 0.1%.at first i thought may be wifi issue so i wired my lan into the pc instead.  no change. i have updated everything on all my devices from drivers, to clearing caches and freeing up tons of disk space, on my phone i removed all unused apps, its resources are over 50% free, i have checked for malware, used apps to speed up the phone.  all to no avail with swgoh.  i have a top end fios internet connection, a brand new router that i got because you guys never fixed the last random freeze issues some of us still get (started when new GAC came out half many months ago).  instead of rushing out bugged updates and expansions that you rake in cash on, please fix the problems we are and have been having that make the game terribly difficult for us to play regularly, and as of last 3 days, totally unplayable.
