Verse Code Worse Performance

Summary

Since the latest update it seems Verse code executes worse. My maps (Miner Tycoon & Bee Tycoon) have had lag issues popping up since the last Fortnite Update (34-20) specifically around verse functions that loop quickly. There was a previous issue with the Verse tickrate being increased to 60, I believe these issues my maps are experiencing were after the revert of the 60 tickrate.

Additional Notes

The first video showcases how the skills are supposed to act, this is how it has looked since the game launched, and only recently became a problem.
The second video showcases how the skills impact the game today.

This issue also seems to be causing an increase amount of game crashes, which is rarely even causing players saved data to be completely reset. This did not happen before this update, and seems to be caused directly by a game crashing.
