Extreme Lag/Lag Spikes throughout game

[LOxx]

Every game I get into I will get lag and or lag spikes throughout the game for long periods. Mostly during fights with bosses or large amount of mobs. But I've also experienced perfect FPS in the same situations. My specs are above the recommended by a bit, and I have pushed the graphics to the minimum in order to try to get it to run faster to no avail. When it is at 60 fps+ it's extremely fun to play, but I can't play with this odd lag. I've looked at my metrics during the game and neither my CPU or GPU are overheating, or fully utilized at most times.

I'm not sure what to do, appreciate any help.

Mine runs fine but everytime i pick up an item it just locks up :(

[WynterMvre]

Same here, no clue why either.

My only issue is picking up some items will freeze me for half a second. I feel like it's related to the popup.

type ping in console to see ping
mine exceed 5k ... literally can't interact with anything else
maybe the devs should try changing some syncing mechanics

i guess the hosting system is not set to region specific and the issue is here :( very boring

Seems my brother has also been plagued with this problem (not posting on his account though).

Specs:

Intel i5-7600K @ 3.8GHz
Radeon RX 480
32GB RAM
512GB M.2 (which game has been moved onto)

Testing log:

Everything lowered to lowest settings (no fix)
Game elevated to Above Average (no fix)
Locked framerate at 30fps (no fix)
Moved to SSD (no fix)

Bugs:

Upon an asset spawning (whether it's an effect [sometimes], an item spawning or being picked up, or anything model-editing spawns), the game will either drop framerate or freeze completely for anywhere between half a second to three seconds.

Only appears to be on my brother's rig (as listed above, running Windows 10). Does not affect my build (1060 6gb, i5-6500, running Fedora 29 [and as such, am running RoR2 through Proton 4.2]) - the only differences I could think is that we have different graphics cards, so maybe there's a problem with AMD cards?

Please feel free to ask me any other questions and expand for any more details - we both enjoy Risk of Rain 2 and love it to bits but I'd rather he have a fair experience rather than stuttering every time he gains an item - as you can't pause when you're frozen, it's a huge handicap.

I thought the same as I am also running a AMD card

Specs:
Intel i7-7700
RX 480
12GB Ram
1 TB HDD

I'm guessing the game is just poorly optimized for AMD graphics cards, the friend who gave me his free version of the game uses a GTX 1060 and is capable of playing the game and streaming it at the same time. I don't see why I wouldn't be able to at the very least play it at minimum settings.

I've tried emailing the developers from an email on their site, though now I'm wondering if that email is no longer active/used as I have not received any response.
