I have been trying my hardest to play SOT for the last week or two. Every time I play, I get unplayable 300+ ping when others are nearby. I don't know how, as my partner rarely has these problems with me around, even while I have them - And no other game has ever done this that I have played. I quite literally could not play when I was sitting at a dock, fishing, and a galleon came by, immediately freezing me to 1000 ping constants.
It can't be my connection, as every other service works perfectly fine. It shouldn't be my PC, as it doesn't lag or have any issue in other scenarios, such as solo, where I have ~80-120 ping ranges.
