Season 13 last patch add microsutter to the game and its not fixed. Season14

I played Apex since KC was only the map and ranked did not exist.

I did not experience microsutter in the past. After last patch for season 13 game start microsutter(freezinig for 100-300ms).

Its randomly. Its breaking and demotivating to do any progress in the game when you lost by game freezing for 200ms. It is impossible to have good time in Apex now. I was waiting for some patches to fix it and we had some, new season 14 patch and next 2-3 patches in s14 but its not fixing microsutter.

When new patches did not fixed it I update Windows, graphics card driver, reinstall Apex Legends, sfc scan (no system issues), but it not fixed microsutter problem.

I need point that drivers with newest features are impossible to install under Win8.1 and Win7 current is 473.81 version but for Win10 and higher is 516.94.

I am on Windows 8.1,

GTX 1060

CPU 4930k

On worse laptop spec with Win10 game is running without any issue.

@Kamil4577
Have you already tried cleaning up your drivers with DDU in safe boot?
Typically tends to fix this issue.

Hi @Kamil4577, are you running any overlays by any chance? Also does your hardware max out while playing?

@EA_Atic I found something.
When banners change in BR and arena then many players got that mocrofreezes/sutters. Its reason why on Gun Run mode there is "almost" no sutter. Because on Gun Run mode we do not have any banners on the map and on the death boxes.
From technical I think some shaders are so complicated to compile (bug in shader/ not optimalized shader) and game is choking in that moment. Its not because game load on fly some files.

@EA_Atic I found one more method how to sutter reproduction. Just by playing with the button on top after die. Changing from spectate to death summary and again spectate it always reproduce sutter.
