lag bad since 1.2.3 and at night-fall becomes INSANELY bad
Since last 1.2.3 update (which coincided with a W10 creators update of Windows) I've had lag for 1st time in my world. pretty bad, running around half speed. i stopped all the fancy features in video settings, e.g. clouds, and it's a bit better but not like before.
[by the way, in my village there are a LOT of mobs: villagers, golems, livestock... but it never slowed down my movements before.]
then i noticed something that happens as soon as night falls. at that very instant the 'lag' becomes MUCH MUCH worse. just now, i clicked on my bed to sleep at the very instant night fell, and it took around 40 seconds to complete the sleep, whereas normally i guess it should take about 3-4 secs, right?
i have seen on the forum and elsewhere here that i'm not alone in experiencing this bug, particularly the night-time one.

MCPE-28022, please use the search function before reporting.Not duplicate!! Did you read that i have bad lag for first time ever even in daytime!
Yes, it is a duplicate, of
MCPE-28022and/orMCPE-28028. Please read the updated description inMCPE-28022. The cause of lag it describes is now well documented and verified, but it presents in different ways and is so common that even if there might be additional causes, they are hidden behind its pervasive effects. It can happen in the day or the night, but is especially common near villages at night because of zombies spawning (often underground) and trying to target a player or villager but not able to find a path because of a closed door. It can also happen during the day when animals target a player holding their food but can't reach him because of a fence or other barrier.Unless you can demonstrate that this is not causing your issue, we have to assume it is. Proving that it isn't would be difficult and nobody so far has been able to do so. So for now I'd recommend waiting for the other issues to be fixed. That will probably fix your lag, bug even if it doesn't they will no longer cloud the symptoms so your issue will be much easier to define and address.
Thank you Auldrick - that's very helpful and now I understand that my issue is indeed part of a known wider problem.

Thank you for your report!
