CFT and TN spikes
Hey all, Firstly, I've had this issue for years and I cannot seem to resolve it. Every couple minutes during gameplay I get random CFT and TN spikes (see attached pics) which always screw me up. ...

The red circle on the right in your screenshot shows the client frametime (CFT) spiking up to 16ms. This means your PC's framerate is spiking up to 62fps during the spike. (1,000ms ÷ 16ms = 62fps)
I'm not sure what the blue line is for in the red circle on the left. The blue line appears to be for packet loss out. If that's the case then your PC also stops sending network packets to the server at the same time the 62fps CFT spike is occuring. Your PC appears to be momentarily freezing/stuttering during the spike.
Here's a post where I helped a forum member troubleshoot PC stutter. These console commands will help with further troubleshooting.
PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1
PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
Note the posts about monitoring individual CPU core usage with Windows Task Manager. It only takes a single CPU core reaching 100% usage to freeze/stutter the game. Windows Task Manager must be configured to show individual CPU core usage. Instructions on how to do all this are in the link below.

Enabling the graphs and fps doesn't show anything new.
I tracked all cores in MSI Afterburner and it shows a dip when I get the stutter.
I looked up what the blue line is on the LAT/ALAT graph and it's TN - Time nudge. I changed DNS and tried on WIFI over ethernet, still have the same issue.
Unlikely that it's a network issue given I don't have this issue on any other game.
Posting a screenshot of PerfOverlay.DrawGraph right after the stutter occurs will help us with troubleshooting. Even better would be posting a video of the stutter with all the graphs onscreen.
