Online gameplay lag and unresponsive when lots of activity

★★★ Newbie

Product: Command & Conquer Remastered
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Extreme lag / unresponsive online gameplay / can take up to 60seconds to select a single unit Cannot participate with the game Can still watch, use map, and see everyone elses' teams participate - but complete lack of control of own units, queues etc.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Playing online once lots of units of other teams, as soon as there's lots of online activity (like another team send a large number of tanks to another party) it can run 20-60second behind - so you click a unit and can take 60secs for the unit to show as selected. Makes the game IMPOSSIBLE to play
What happens when the bug occurs? Extremely laggy gameplay You click a unit and can take 60secs for the unit to show as selected. Doesn't affect looking around the map or using the radar, But does affect the actual selection etc.
What do you expect to see? Need to play responsively

The online game play is slow, laggy, and makes the whole multiplayer unusable. 

 

Can take 60 seconds to select units - meanwhile, can browse the map, use the radar - but cannot participate

So annoyed.
