the server is lagging HARD but it won’t restart, is this an issue with the new IP?
When you say ‘so laggy i can’t chat’, do you mean you are unable to open the chat box? Or do you mean that you are able to open the chat box and type out a message, but the message won’t send?
If it’s the 1st one, then that is your end. Consider upgrading your PC.
He means he can open the chat box but the message doesn’t send until like 10 seconds later. It’s annoying and I notice it too.

I type in chat and i can’t see it then like 5 mins later or after i relog i see the conversation
