This is a problem I've had since 2238, and I know its latency issues since I'm in the US and the server is in Europe, however, I am hoping someone has a work around or it would be a simple fix.
For some reason whenever I enter combat and try to run, i stutter, normally moving only 1-3 hexes in the time it would take me to run across the map. This leads me to dying every time I get into a ranged encounter and try to escape, and also prevents me from ever using a melee build as I cannot even get to anyone to melee them without dying from the lag.
This also occurs about 20% of the time when I run by a human player outside of combat.
My ping is generally in the 230 range (US West Coast).
