Hey everyone,
The PC only hotfix that addresses the reported micro-stuttering issue was deployed yesterday.

Thanks.
I had a hunch that it had something to do with the player count, since it didn't show any clear signs of stuttering on the frame graph, and it is indeed an issue that comes from the players connecting or disconnecting from the server, tried it out in a portal server with a couple of friends, and is 100% the reason for the stutter, every time someone connects or disconnects, the game freezes like you hit pause in a singleplayer game, it's not a performance stutter, nothing shows off the frame time graph, it's the server freezing, possibly hitting a usage spike.
I knew it was a server side issue because my girlfriend and I play side-by-side and I can see both our monitors stutter at the exact same times....
so this makes sense.
Looks like DICE is trying to cheap out on the servers, which explains why they removed Breakthrough 128 because that mode for sure requires the most powerful servers of the 4 modes.
I knew these changes were all about the $$$$$. DICE trying to minimize costs because they've accepted the game is a failure and want to minimize expenses as much as possible.
Always follow the money with decisions like these. Greedy, corporate exec heads pressuring DICE to reduce overhead. And this is how they do it. Cut game modes and cheap out on the servers. It's one of the main reasons we will not get a server browser; DICE doesn't wanna pay for it.
It is 100% server problem, I was playing with a friend and every time I suffered a stutter he also complained.
It is defiantly server side...that effects the client game engine: Here is a video of the stuttering effecting the In-Game Performance Overlay Graph the same way every instance: https://youtu.be/m8iRaCFklIk
How do they fix something like that if its server side?
Hello everyone.
Stuttering fix was tested overnight by Dev Teams and they will deploy Hotfix Update later today. 🙂
