For some reason the north west ant hill, where all the ant eggs are, makes my frame rate drop like crazy! like I'm talking it takes me 5 minutes to get out of that 'zone' (150m radius of that ant hill). Anytime I get close to it I'm basically stuck with that high ping problem until I can get about 200m away from it... I've concluded it must be the epicenter of my problem.

 

Extra Info: I'm on xbox one, and it's been happening since the last update.. I think it may be because of the sheer amount of ants that are in that cave that are causing it but I'm not an expert and have absolutely no idea tbh

This is a known issue and players have found ways of fixing the lag by killing every ant in the ant hill then putting up traps near the entrance for population control.   Hopefully this upcoming update fixes this issue.
