As many have stated, my friend and I are having the same issues (NPC’s rubberbanding and/or invisible while still attacking, extremely slow response times for nearly all interactions, bases taking a long time to load) with a private server.
The issues only appear to be happening when we are both on. For example, we first saw this issue yesterday morning when we first logged in. It was storming in this area, so we chalked it up to bad connection, even though the server is about 10 feet from my PC.
We logged out, then a few hours later I logged back in. I played for a few hours alone without any problems at all.
Yesterday night, my friend logged back in. The issues immediately resumed. After playing for hours without a problem, the game immediately became unplayable. He was only trying to move some torches around and couldn’t even do that. As an experiment, I logged out of the game. The second I was disconnected, all the torches he tried to move suddenly moved. I logged back in, and the problems started again. I was in a different area of the map, so I went to the same area. That seemed to resolved the problems. It’s an observation from the peanut gallery, but it seems that the game is having trouble keeping more than one area rendered.
Hope any of this helps and leads to a resolution in the near future.
