    Title: Severe hitching.
    Reproduction Rate: ?
    Blocker? No.
    Details: Since R54 there is severe hitching. This is not because of scene loading. It happens periodically and when it hits, it slows the game to like one FPS for several seconds (sometimes the game completely halts). There was so much complaining about it in the feedback forum last release that I thought you all would've done something about it but I guess that isn't the case.
    Steps to Reproduce: It really is just a matter of playing the game because it happens everywhere.

    [edit] I put that it's not a blocker but the game is largely unplayable due to this.

    This bug happens on GNU/Linux and Windows. With the below specs.
    It happens more frequently the longer I play, also to state it is not scene specific.

    I've experienced the 'hitching' issue intermittently since well before persistence.
    Some releases, its gone almost completely away
    Others, its back with a vengeance.
    For R55, I'd say its happening, but its not as annoying as it has been in the past, but annoying enough to notice.
    Typically what I'll see is everything is fine, and then I'll 'freeze' for a fraction of a second - if I'm midway through turning my camera it looks like skipped frames.

    Code:
    OS: Windows 10  (10.0.0) 64bit
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8) System RAM: 32619
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GPU RAM: 2988
    
    You can actually see this phenomenon around the 12 second mark in the video I made for the recent royal garden contest - panning camera but you see it 'skip' a few frames, due to a hitch. This one was pretty minor so didn't re-record that segment, though did have to do many segments repeatedly as a result of more severe hitches.


    I appreciate this is a pretty deco-heavy scene, and I can say I do notice the hitching more in towns where there is more player stuff than I do in adventure scenes, although it does happen there, too. Particularly annoying during combat.

    Details: I have terrible hitching which gets progressively worse and there is also bad lag. The game even seems to hitching while loading. My monitoring in the picture below will freeze up(hitch) and stop reporting FPS/CPU/GPU stats,etc., for a bit then continue. In the pic I have a 70% GPU Load just standing still, yet the GPU is only using 2.184GBs of VRAM. If there is any more information I can supply to help clear this up I'm more than happy to supply it.

    I have terrible hitching in The Rise. I only do the mage room and kitchen. (I don't xp other scenes currently, so I can't say if they have the same problem). Definitely worse in R55, was bad in R54 as well.

    Same here. Since R54 it's back for me. R55 did improve. What I see is events seem to slow down for a few seconds before gameplay returns to normal. I've been experimenting to see if I can identify where it's coming from. Testing different modes, video / audio settings and so on.

    So far nothing has presented itself as to why it's happening.

    CPU, Memory, Network utilization are all fine. Even with the latest patch of of the game. It has improved a little since R54 but not dramatically. Specs below.

    As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do specifically with activity. I.e., I can be doing crafting or farming or XPing, and the hitching is there. Last night, I was sitting idle between runs of the mage room in the rise, and the game would noticeably hitch as well. You could tell when it was occurring by how the visuals for certain spells would just freeze during the hitching, and then continue their usual movement (light spell IIRC).

    Mine starts hitching almost immediately and is really bad. The hitching is like every 5-8secs now. Today, 7-8-18, is the worse so far. I'm hitching everywhere; towns, hunting, my basement,etc. It got so annoying I had to log for a while. :mad:

    Yes @Barugon that is exactly my experience also. I will also try to make a video these days. Maybe we could also post our in game video settings. I will incorporate those in the video

    Yep. That's me like every 5-8secs. The slideshow effect for me gets even worse the longer I play; up to 3+secs before it goes back to being smooth.
