Horizons Anyone else experienceing lag?

[Tryst]

Each time I go to station services, it lags out something crazy. Even refuelling made me wait nearly a minute before it completed the action. The missions board often times out completely.

The commodities board often comes up completely blank and the only way to see the commodities is to exit and re-enter. It's not loading anything, there is no spinning hexagon.

When that happens to me I switch to solo and the problem goes away.

Even in group mode it can sometimes take ages to load up commodities, galaxy map etc, but solo always solves it for me when the servers are busy.

I was in solo.

My friend and I are in a private group - just the two of us currently - and I sit waiting for Outfitting, Commodity etc. screen to load regularly. Same is true to exiting FSD - both inter and intra-star system - quite frustrating sitting there for 10-20 seconds waiting for your "Safe Disengage" to actually occur.

This happens when we're both in game, or if one of us is on alone.

Scoob.

Yes. It has been awful lately. I was on the verge last night of sending a formal complaint.

Even just getting buttons in the station services to register. Moreover, I've been experiencing major stuttering after about an hour of play.

Very annoying. I was in Solo last night, as well.

I've been having a lot of lag while playing on Open recently. Switched over to solo and the issue is gone. Will remain there until it's fixed (I'm out exploring anyways).

I thought the stuttering was my PC but now I see others are getting it too. I also normally leave my PC on 24/7 as I download things when not playing and also leave my emails on to stay in immediate contact due to my job. After launching ED a couple of times, I've had to restart my PC or it starts to play up, taking forever to launch other apps etc.

My lag kicks in when I load up mission boards. Used to be I could download a game via Steam, my wife could be watching Netflix and I'd still get along fine in ED. Now everything has to be shut down just to get a crappy mission or 3. Hopefully it'll fix itself soon!

I read a tweet from Frontier saying they were experiencing server side lag issues and that they were working on it.

That was some days ago. I haven't been in game much this week so I can't verify whether this is correct.

and that they were working on it.

Between their 4 hour tea breaks I presume. It's been like it for a few days now.

This is one of the MAIN reasons I wanted a single player offline version of the game.

All of the above. I have done a small amount of time in open (by myself) to see if there is any difference in game play. (A little).
This lag has been going on for 6 months. At first, people said Internet problems. Bulldust! My son and I play in topline games on a shared connection while my wife and daughter do netflix. No problems with the internet.
What we are experiencing is all on FD's head. Sometimes, I can't even log out with escape key. It all seems to be "In Station" though.
I don't know what is wrong with FD that they can't fix a server problem. (Of course I don't know servers) But if it isn't powerful enough put in a bigger engine.
