Constant Stuttering "Lag"

    Coming back from a long hiatus and experiencing a constant, stuttering sort of lag.

    Used to play this game buttery smooth on this very same computer (no hardware changes).

    System resources never really go over 20%, so not that. Can notice this stuttering even on cast bars as the game sort of freezes every half second or so.

    Tried quite a lot of things but none have done anything. At my absolute wits end.

    ... any suggestions?

    Can't play the game if it doesn't work. :(

    Check your ingame fps, mine dropped drastically lately, giving me the same problem. Now I am looking for a new video card. In the meanwhile, I run at extreme performance, with all names and effects turned off and that makes it playable...moslty.

    Tried highest performance setting and no change.

    I've previously been able to play the game on maximum graphical settings no problem (using GTX 1080).

    One possibility could be you are streaming the game and not using a full download. Maybe check on that?

    Same here I used to run with everything on with zero problems. It’s seriously frustrating.

    It might be the large number of people still working from home. I know several states in the US have been talking about upgrading their bandwidth/backbone... but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.
