Dear Coaches,

We have recently received feedback from many coaches that the game is experiencing severe lag. After investigation, we have identified that the issue stems from a specific mod in the Steam Workshop. This mod cannot be properly uninstalled after downloading and automatically places files into the game's root directory, overwriting the original game content. As a result, the game runs extremely slowly.

It will take some time to identify the exact mod. Once we have confirmed it, we will remove it from the Workshop.

If you are experiencing this issue, please follow the steps below to resolve it:

Turn off cloud saves;

Unsubscribe from all Workshop items;

Delete the entire game folder and all contents in its root directory;

Re-download and reinstall the game.

After completing the above steps, the lag issue should be resolved.
