"STADIA" Lockpicking impossible

In my attempts to get the "Spaulder of Ruin" I have had to pick locks on safeboxes... the only problem is the latency is so high that it is impossible to pick locks, especially a master chest, how are us paying customers supposed to obtain this item?
Is a redesign of the Lock picking mini game due at any time soon?

Lucifer_Sam✭✭If you're latency is too high to pick a lock just force it. Don't have to worry about latency but you will burn through picks faster.0 -

Thanks for the reply but this is only a problem for me on "Google Stadia" playing on my phone on 5G, Master chests are difficult when playing on PC on a wired connection due to their short time limit, I think the remote play aspect of stadia just adds an extra layer of complexity where I am not actually seeing what the server is seeing on my screen and just keep breaking lock picks.
I got my lead when I was able to return to my PC and spend an hour picking the safe boxes.0 -

✭It's possible to get your skill up really fast. Look up internet tutorials on grinding "Covetous Countess". You can then force pretty much all locks quickly.

✭I found picking locks on Stadia to be much harder than PS4 at first, but I eventually figured out that I just had to pay attention to different cues (more audio, less vibration) and be really mindful about completely releasing the trigger when the tumbler started to wiggle. Once I did those things, I stopped having problems.
I went through a similar learning experience on the PS4, and switching to Stadia set me back a bunch because it is a little bit different.
(Ultimately, I still mostly play on PS4 because Stadia has some weird graphical artifacts and I have a lot more in-game stuff on PS4.)1
