Lag
under review
GeoSynxzy
In recent days, i am experiencing insane amounts of lag in the game, I have tried everything i can (fresh browser, no other tabs open, animations off etc.) But nothing fixes it. its very annoying as it kinda adds a disability while playing because panning, zooming and moving is extremely laggy and slow. This isnt only in game but also navigating the menu's. Idk if its because i play on a basic school laptop but i dont think so because i have never had any problems with lag whatsoever untill a few days ago.

Playing on Firefox is very laggy

I tried Edge and it works fine, but firefox, after the new UI overhall, is very laggy. I've been playing mostly duels but this is the same everywhere for me.

Lag since the UI switch
eljest
My computer is lagging intensely during the last month or so. I’ve turned off animations, switched to raster map. Still, it doesn’t help.
The game is barely managing to run at 20 fps, but the Google Maps website on its own is clear, responsive, and smooth.
Scrolling in to the map takes ages, it physically hurts my finger to scroll because it’s so slow.
I use Win10, Firefox 137.0, at 2560x1440, with a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080.
Please revert the UI changes, they make me have to stop playing the game otherwise.

Lag in 1v1 Duels
Cockmaster
Since the new update with the fancy animations in 1v1 duels, I experience a lot of lag with bad internet. My frames a dropping to 15 FPS and the locations are loading even worse. Please enable a setting where I can go back to the old UI.

Hello, I'd like to piggy back on this post about lag as it probably won't do much good to create an entirely new post for a similar problem. If Marcus is reading this I was the one you responded to earlier on reddit.
As for the technical specs
Laptop
Windows
Mainly Edge 134.0.3124.85
sometimes Chrome 134.0.6998.166
resolution 2560x1600
4080 graphics card, and it is set in only use dedictated GPU mode
no scripts enabled at the moment
I've been playing exclusively Solo games for 5 days or so. I can usually get a smooth round or two before I begin to experience lag. It's not enough to prevent me from playing Solo but it is pretty noticeable. I get similar results whether it is Edge or Chrome. For the map, the zooming will be choppy and the map items can load in slow at times. I've tried both the vector and rastor types.
I have tried disabling hardware accleration on Edge but that caused a lot more lag. I also did the f12 and then empty cache and hard reload fix from zendesk page but that did not really seem to make a difference. I also cleared my cache in Edge. I pretty regularly refresh the page but that doesn't seem to make much of an improvement, if any at all.
Oh, I'll just add at this started for me after the UI and map changes. Maybe a few days afterward.
