    See? I reckon the only way they can do this is to reduce the FPS to something like 6 and make the whole game feel like a Ray Harryhausen film.

    I bet there's someone at Cryptic think they're clever because of the way they phrased that patch note, when it just shows little regard for the poor player experience that lag has caused over the last god knows how many years.
