Summary
We’re noticing a server wide lag / stutter / hitch (whatever the technical term here should be) when players join in progress. Testing with friends we’ve found that all players in the game experience a brief lag at the same time that our friend begins to connect to the game from the lobby. From in game, there will be a lag spike, and then a few seconds later the elimination feed with say “{PlayerName} has joined the game!”
Steps to Reproduce
Play 7632-5434-5590 or another high activity game. Have another player load into the game, the joining player will go through the following stages when matchmaking:
Matchmaking: Joining server…
Preparing…
Preparing… Initiating travel to server…
Connecting…
A few seconds after the “Connecting” phase begins, the players in the lobby experience the lag spike.
Expected Result
Players joining a game in progress will not cause server wide lag.
Observed Result
Players experience a server wide lag spike, then a few seconds later a player has joins the game.

Additional Notes
It may only happen as a result of players joining who already have save data and / or verse persistence data. All of the players we tested with have already built up some save data and verse persistence data.
