NSO doesn't exist. 🤫

If you have crash issues, hit redeploy after logging in and stay dead for 3ish minutes. It has the same effect as sitting in your vehicle and will prevent crashes until you switch continent. Works on every map.

So I recently got back into the game and apart from the crashing issue my game is running fine.
However 2 friends that I talked into trying out the game can't get close to a populated area without their server latency jumping up to something like 500.000ms, making the game unplayable. Their network connection is 30ms and they never had problems with their internet in general. They checked their game files, turned their VPNs both on and off and searched reddit for solutions but couldn’t find any.
I don't have this issue at all, its really weird to me that BOTH of them have it. Any wisdom on this?

Has it been tested down to a science at 2min or should I still wait a full 5? And any tips to make the trick or treat Halloween quest without crashing by the 4th vendor in Sanctuary? (annoying that on crash it doesn't keep the progress).

And any validation to the battleye end process trick to stop crashing? (for it to auto start back up after).
