Stuttering/lag/screen freezing
This has been an issue probably after the last 2-3 updates. I've done all the usual things; cleared the cache, updated video drivers (clean install), disabled any overlays, etc.
Problem is that when I first load into the game, there are some serious lag issues that actually freeze my screen for up to one second, but it can often be just a few stutters in a row. This can last for a few minutes into gameplay after joining a server. Gets me killed pretty quick when the freeze happens just as I encounter another player. Short skips can happen randomly anytime in the game, it's more rare, but the worst almost always happens right after I join the server. Sometimes it even affects sound, my on-screen actions and the associated sound can be delayed by a few seconds, and even the textures load slowly on occasion, though I care far less about that than I do the stutter/freeze/lag getting me killed.
Win 10, 3080 GPU, SSD, i9-12900. System specs are not an issue, I've lowered the graphics and many features for lower detail/higher performance to get the best FPS.
Any suggestions?
