Issue still present. Here are some details I've gathered:
- This is neither a PC hardware issue, a Windows issue, nor an anti-cheat issue. We know because consoles are affected too
- Currently not all servers are affected. Yesterday only half of the Official servers I checked had the stutters
- Some people experience seconds-long pauses, while others only get ~150ms hiccups (which still is very disruptive)
- A burst of stutters occurs when loading into the map (be it at the start of round or when joining a game in progress), then other seemingly-random stutters occur throughout the match
- The number of stutters during the initial burst is somewhat proportional to the amount of players on the server
- The mid-round random stutters almost always come in pairs, but the pairs aren't always spaced apart the same
- The stutters do not occur until players spawn into the map. This is most evident when in spectator mode and the server switches to the next map
For context here is a video I captured 10 days ago showing the initial burst of stutters at the beginning of the round, and moments later some of the "random" stutter pairs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGzMLjZ5-8s
It'd be interesting to figure out if all players on a given server experience the stutters, and if they all experience them at the same time. I strongly suspect that each stutter (pair) coincides with a player spawning into the map for the first time for that round.
