I have been playing this game for 3 years, it was all right until the recent update.
I'm using two set of PCs both appear the same stuttering, one using i9-9900K, 2080ti, 3400mhz ddr4 cl16, the other one rx 7900, 4070, 6000mhz ddr5.
The fps stats is wierd, the fps shows 143 and average fps 141, but 1%low fps is only 10fps, 0.1%low fps 10fps as well.
The stutter happens most frequently when the weapon hit the opponent or being blocked. When it happen, sometimes there will be a 0.3-0.5 sec micro-lag, during this lag any input like blocking or counter just doesn't work at all, making duel totally unplayable now for me.
I tried to lower my graphic setting but it only affects the GPU usage, nothing happens to the stutter/freeze at all. The GPU and CPU are at most only 70% usage even the micro-stutter happens. I can't understand what happened and how to fix this. I tried delete the persistentdownload subfolder to disable eos cache but the issue persists.
Here are the fps stats before and after update, you can see 1% low framerate drops ridiculously.

This, although you will have to prey that they fix this
This is really good data. The micro-lags you’re finding here explain a lot, I was wondering why some of my counters were getting eaten mid 1vX.
servers are shit right now (Paris and EU the most)
