    1. Title: Degrading performance and hitching
    2. Reproducible: Will try again tomorrow with more feedback.
    3. Blocker: Yes.
    4. Details: I noticed some hitching whilst running through Novia Market and then more severe in Crafters Town, so I took the following video. I hadn't noticed any whilst I was farming so it may be a gradual thing, I'll keep an eye out for it tomorrow.

    Can you give an estimate on how long you had been in the game for and how many scene loads you did prior to this? Thanks!

    I'm not certain of time frame, I'll take notes tomorrow but a couple of hours and five or six scene changes.

    I tried to reproduce this on my crappy laptop by zoning into ~ 8 scenes and then running around britt mart, novia market, and finally crafter's town.. I couldn't get the game to hitch that extremely.

    I see in your video you had the /debug running - with a lot of warnings spewing in when the longer hitches happened. Perhaps some info can be gleamed from those warnings? Maybe take a look and see what they are? PS are you on an SSD? Perhaps all that deco loading combined with the log recording the error spew was slamming the disk a bit?

    If/when you experience it again, perhaps check task manager and/or resource monitor, to see what's going on within the OS at the same time?

    Going to mark this needs more info to indicate that we're looking into it and for more info on reproduction steps.

    (If anyone else experiences this, please post details and be sure to include the /bug template with system specs so the devs can investigate. Thanks)

    also consider that /debug can CAUSE hitching. the first message you get when you enable it is "Message: KGFDebugGui in use. Calls OnGUI which is not performant!"
