It doesnt seem to be my internet because i tryed it with extremly high speed wifi and still had the problem. Im playing on an ipad-mini but when ever i am near alot of players the game starts to slow down and i can barely move. This has never happened before and it helps when i turn effects off but its judt a shame because it makes everything look terriable and this lag even happens where the update didnt effect :/ please fix.  

Just a short term fix - you could try playing Ol'West on PC. Less lag and you can keep all the effects on. Click on the link in my signature.

2) Disable the new advanced water effects in your options
3) zoom in if possible to reduce the amount of visible players  

It is likely from the new water reflection effect. I plan to add the option to keep animated water but not display player reflections, which should give people more choice instead of just all-or-nothing disabling all the extra effects. The option should be up by this weekend along with one or two other options.

but i dont see why it should cause lag if your in a building with alot of players and there no water... maybe make it where the effect turns off when the water is out of view and turns back on when you see water? but it should just be fixable shouldnt it?
