Clicking on 'Check for updates' from VLC Media Player notified me that I had the most recent version, I have 3.0.14. ON the Videolan website I was offered the 32-bit version for a 64-bit machine despite having no settings in operation that spoof my machine, manually going through the download page found me the 64-bit version of 3.0.15.

Ahh, finally after all these years they have fixed this. This issue is one of the main reasons I moved away from VLC back a few years ago and even made my brother switch who has always used VLC as far as I can remember.
Glad it's fixed now.
Here's VLC with massive lag while seeking in the previous version: 3.0.14 or anything prior to the latest version.
Now here's VLC with the latest version: 3.0.15.
No more seeking issue

They still haven't fixed the hardware acceleration with x265 videos causing it to crash even though other players can play them

Yeah. Seems to be hardware dependent but the problems are real and the bug reports online never seem to resolve it without disabling hardware acceleration. They just tuck it under the rug.

Uninstall it and reinstall it again? as the commenters said no issues

I already did that. It's a VLC problem. Other players work.
