Server Connection Lag?

The game has some... performance issues? That I think can be attributed to spotty servers. In my most recent match, I believe both my opponent and I were having this issue, as if the game lags too long it swaps turns without input - which happened to both of us, leading to my opponent eventually conceding. This was in a ranked game, so naturally, neither of us wanted to give because there's stakes to these games.

The game runs flawlessly in menus - opening packs, deck building, checking the battle pass, avatar creation - no lag. It only happens in games. I'm running on Windows.

Trying to do actions in game - playing cards, searching my deck, choosing prize cards, always comes with a very long buffer and the "Not Responding" message popping up in the top Windows bar. Sometimes I can power through and manage to finish the game, and sometimes, like my last match, it renders the game entirely unplayable.

I like this game. I like the Pokemon TCG. I'd like to see the servers able to run the way they should. But right now... it's just impossible to play.
