Issue Title: Character lagging/jerking around out of control

Issue Description: I've just started playing and am having trouble controlling the character. Every few moments when walking the character jumps back several paces, sometimes repeatedly, and I regularly lose control completely and have to wait while the character moves around, usually in jerking-type movements and in seemingly random directions (including backwards sometimes), before I regain control. The problem seems particularly bad when around a lot of trees.

I have played many hours of Don't Starve and have never had this issue, and the person I am playing DST is not experiencing this problem but they have reported seeing my character moving around in this way when it happens.

I was initially playing with Willow, but switched to Wendy in case it was an issue with a particular character but I am still having the issue.

Steps to Reproduce: I've played for around 3 hours and this has been happening the entire time. I believe it started when moving from one type of terrain to another. I have tried leaving and re-entering the game several times, and have tried several different games, none of which has made any difference.

The stuttery, laggy movement is generally caused by, well, lag. You can see how good your connection to the server is (and others' connections) by hitting Tab. Although not quite a fix, you can at least prevent the rubberbanding (random jumps backward) by removing the movement prediction that's automatically enabled whenever you join a server by opening the console ( ~ key) and typing:

 

ThePlayer:EnableMovementPrediction(false)

 

Your player will still move oddly but it's more workable in my experience.
