Weird lag in build/buy mode and sometimes in Live Mode too

Hi everyone, I'm having this weird issue with my game. Overall my game plays very smoothly, like butter. Specs are i5 7600K 3.80GHz, 1060GTX 6 GB and 16GB of ram. On Windows 10 Home Edition x64....

you'll see a lot of options for attempts. the attempt I used was Attempt #5 which is also the attempt that worked!
You need to go into Device Management in your PC. From there, you'll want to go to your Network Adapters.

From here, you'll choose the PCIe adapter that you use. It can be one from Realtek, but also one from Intel. In my case, it was labled as an Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V. So I googled on that one rather than the one from my motherboard.

Download the latest drivers, install them for your Ethernet connection, restart PC and try troubleshooting again!

In my case (so far) no problems anymore with lag in B/B mode.

~~@JeanVWI'm trying to update my driver too cause i have I219-V from 2015 but I'm not sure what to pick on the Intel website. Do you have any link from where you downloaded yours? ^^~~

~~When i'm trying to update it refuses to do anything cause it says windows decided I already have the best pilote. :/~~

Managed to do it ! I'll try my game now 🙂

EDIT: alright i updated my ethernet drivers but I still have the same issue. Whenever i join a new household : bad fps, have to quit in the map and reload the household to fix it. At this point it's a game issue, mostly knowing it doesn't happen when I have Eco disabled. :/

Thanks!

So ive been playing for around a steady week now (I've had some time of work to actually sit down and play)... no problems untill tonight. Again, the lag bug persist. I drop down to 5fps as soon as I open build mode, or swap back, and now its every-time I play. Im soooo so so frustrated at this point. I updated my Ethernet drivers 2 weeks ago as @puzzlezaddict suggested, and everything worked perfectly! Untill tonight, so I have no idea why this keeps happening.
Anyone else still having this problem?!

  @MadPeachyTV I think I've seen one other report recently, but from someone with a laptop, where updating a LAN driver might not be feasible. I don't think that person has responded yet though.
  
  I hope this isn't the same issue as before, because the fix was such a relief to see. It's certainly possible there's something else going on with your computer. If you want to double-check for errors, please run another dxdiag and attach it to a post.

    @puzzlezaddict I have the Dxdiag attached below! 🙂
    Today was also the first time opening the "..." menu did not fix the issue! After playing for about 2 hours, the lag started up. I opened the menu, closed it, and the low 5fps was still there. So I let the game sit for about 5 minuets, thinking maybe it would catch up with itself, but it didn't. This time i had to completely restart my game in order for it to stop!
    It seems to be getting worse since the last hot-fix. ☹️
