[Playeroth]

it causes sound to stop for a micro second and gameplay to freeze for a micro second. It becomes worse as the game continues open and play more matches, stutters freeze time becomes increasingly worse. Restarting the game fixes the issue until whatever does to make it happen again

I think this might be related to alt-tab too but unsure. it wasnt a problem before

I have a similar issue in that as the game stays open on my PC the stutters increase to the point where I had lost a game due to not being able to move or look around in the middle of a fight.

 

[Playeroth]

i had opened the game but didnt move at all besides only going off the intro.
i went game AFK for about 30min while doing stuff on PC, then when i came back i was having those horrible stutterings, micro ones and some longer ones. It seems to be related to being alt-tabbed or similar.

 

[Playeroth]

tested without discord open and zero alt-tabs, throughout the game it quickly became worse from mid to late but i believe because i made some clips using medal.tv, although no alt-tabs. It was not a problem before this update. Closing the clipping tool still maintened the stutterings
