Well Ive been saying it for months now. Asobo doesnt have the network bandwidth to support the project.
And on the news a couple of nights ago there was a story (local) about MS having issues with bandwidth on their cloud services. It seems working/schooling from home is eating massive amounts of bandwidth at the moment and they dont want to increase it (even if they could) because when things go back to normal in the world those issues should subside and then they’d have too much bandwidth.
Now this would help explain the crazy behavior of the game, where one time of day the thing runs fine and other time it runs like FOO!
