Unrecoverable Lag spikes.

Hello!

I am experiencing some large lag spikes that seems to be unrecoverable, forcing me to alt-tab and terminate the game. About 5 hours of play, i had to do this about 10 times.

This happens usually when i am casting electrocute or disintegrate and the skill animation will be stuck, continuously being casted. Furthermore, my character will not be able to cast anything, go into doors or exit/leave game.

Players could still hear me talk and i can still see people running around.
Maybe its just a connection/internet issue?

Some quick info:
Im from Melbourne, Australia.

Comp specs:

Intel Core i7 2600K Overlocked to 4.8Ghz
Asrock Z68 Extreme 4 Pro Mainboard
16Gb Kingston DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
580GTX 1280DDR5 RAM GFX
OCZ Agality 3 120GB SSD SATAIII
Thermaltake 775Watt PSU
Western Digital 1TB Black(7200RPM)

Hello bzombie,

This issue may be caused by one of two things:

1. You are playing the game from Australia when the Beta servers are currently only in the US.
2. You are encountering the bug referenced here:
