Xbox Dynamic Lights Cause Lag in MP

Three friends and me have started playing in MP through xbox live. After 2-3 play sessions that worked fine we started getting massive lag spikes. It would take up to a minute to open a chest or collect loot from the ground. Moving from area to area would bring up a loading screen that took 1-2 minutes. After some internet searching and trial and error we found the root cause to be our glow rings. 3 of the 4 of us were using them and when we were all at the farm it was basically unplayable. We've now stopped using them and the game works well again. I assume it's a bug with dynamic lights, although untested I'd guess holding a torch above your head may do the same thing. I'm so happy we found a work around but it would be nice if this could be patched so we could use the rings again.

TLDR - Had massive lag, stopped using glow rings and it went away...
