    Not sure if this qualifies as a bug or not (which is why it's in feedback) but I've been experiencing hitching since this release. The past few releases have been hitch-free for me - but it's back. Unlike the past, though, this hitching seems to be on an approximate 7-10 second interval. I thought it may have something to do with my "field of view" being set too high... but after experimenting with it and setting it to minimum, the hitching is still there at the same interval.

    Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

    Thanks, Alley! Glad I'm not the only one. Well, not glad but you know what I mean. :)

    I noticed this too and it's driving me crazy. @Chris , It seems to occur when spawns pop-up. Also, I have noticed that a lot of spawns don't appear where they normally do until you are right on the spot where they spawn. Next thing you know, you are surrounded by mobs. Not sure, but maybe this is tied in with resource spawning, which I think I read was an issue a long time ago. I've never not experienced hitching in the game, but this is the worst it's ever been.

    It happens everywhere for me.. including npc towns so don't think it's resource spawning.

    Perhaps a clue: I have been getting it a lot out adventuring, but had one particularly dramatic moment when I was in my Factorium and jump, thus revealing a whole bunch of stuff previously obscured by a hedge. Pause in mid air kind of hitch.

    I’ve been exploring the new Upper Tiers and was also noting that some times the area i’m headin toward, will look empty, but then spawns appear. I kinda have to do this wide berth around the area and stand in a safe spot and just wait a few.

    In that lower area, if I’m fighting 2 things and something suddenly spawns next to me, I have to run straight to the exit. Heh. That area is a bit dangerous for my current level. But it is a new fun area!

    Is it mainly in combat? I'm getting pretty nasty hitching / lag in crowded combat scenes during the actual combat, Its as you say, totally new to me to get this at this situation and I'm convinced its the new combat sounds.

    it could be sounds, at least partially! i disabled it at the system level and restarted, and while there is still some hitching it seems to get over it a lot faster when it happens

    It doesn't seem to be sound related for me. Even in towns when just the background music playing the hitching is there. If i stand still there seems to be no hitching. Its as if the new drawing of things is what's causing it in my case.

    Hmm.. haven't tried that but i will. Come to think of it, it even happens while crafting. But standing still is the only time im not experiencing it.

    I also see other players teleporting when running. This looks more like a server LAG issue of some kind.
