    Hello,

    I've noticed that after the recent Summer Event patch, multi-clienting on a Mac seems to cause huge spikes & lag. For me, it seems like the threshold is the 3rd client. I've known a couple Mac users are also experiencing the exact same issue.

    I used to be able to open up 6 clients without experiencing any spikes/lag, but now I can only run 2 clients at a time.

    Is there a way to fix this issue, or is there any known workaround for this?

    Thank you in advance.

    I second this,
    1 client is fine.
    2 clients small spikes
    3 clients its like 3-4 second delay

    I agree with both of you guys besides the small client spikes running two at once, this is the first time I've heard that.. I usually always run two clients for my Bishop and my Hermit, however I do get some fps spikes when I open 3.

    But yes, I do hope that they fix this because I'm going to also have to open more than 3 at some point as well XD

    This is because ML takes up a massive amount of CPU for a 2003 mushroom game. It'd be the same if you were opening 3-4 clients of a really heavy program.

    I noticed this change too but we haven't figured out why it's happening although we've tried several methods to make it less computationally intensive. We will update you guys if we ever find an answer. ):

    This issue has been fixed after the Halloween 2020 patch. Feel free to test it out.
