I run a 16vs server and have following problem:
If > 1 witches become startled at once and attack the survivors the gameplay starts to lag like hell though no ping spike detectable. Itīs a massive fps drop. I spawn additional 6 witches

ā 1200 HP for every game-witch. Sometimes the game is in a good mood and positions them on the survivors path where they have to vaporize all 7 witches. One witch alone is no problem but more than 1 witch being startled and attacking at the same time causes the fps rate to drop to 3 fps approx. Also sound stutters extremely. (It is the same behaviour of the game as you know it from the Xbox cvar which can be used to show the white semitransparent "damage HUD" on the left part of the game screen. If you vomitted on many survivors this HUD makes the game laggy and fps rate drops too.) When I change into spec mode, and watch such a scene I encounter no fps drop. The only workaround so far is reduction of witch amount but I just like them so much

. Does someone know the cause for the lag?
