    Horrible freezes and stuttering when in combat.

    I had this issue in the beta and I dont have anything like this in any other game.
    Not in AC:Odyssey, not in The division 1, not in GR:Wildlands, not in Metro exodus nor far cry 5.... only in the division 2 betas. both of them.

    My rig is:
    i7 4770 3.4ghz
    8gb ram
    geforce 1060 6gb vram
    win 10 64bit


    the game runs super smooth at around 60fps when im not in combat, so i am 99.9% sure this isnt a graphics settings issue not a GPU issue.

    Then.... I can roam around and get a small stutter. this happens once AI enemies are near by.
    Then, the moment i open fire at them or when they open fire at me - BOOM! a freeze - the game freezes for a second or so, but only the display is frozen as things still happen in the background. when the freeeze is over enemies and even my camera direction has moved already.
    Within combat I got a LOT(!!!!!!) of freezes, especially when i inflict damage on enemies or when I get damaged. Being hit with a melee attack or a grenade can make a 1.5 seconds long stutter, same as when when i make a big explotion on multiple enemies. If the game freezes as I get hit by a melee attack and then get hit by gunfire a few times the stutter is SO severe that by the time the game is running again at the end of the freeze - im dead.
    I have never encountered anything like this. It's abysmal. Its severe to a degree that I get into firefights where the game stutters for about 0.5-1 seconds every second or so and so much of the combat happens while the screen is fronzen and I die without even knowing what da heck happened.

    This feels like some network issues or something. sometimes the game does run smoothly for a while. but most of the time - combat is causing serious freezing and stuttering. long stuttering.

    I wonder if it's the EasyCheat thingy.

    Anyone else had these issues?

    My experiences: Regular / consistent frametime high spikes every 1 min. and... TD 2 have serious problems with saving settings, when u change graphic settings one by one and save them (some options u needs change twice), game can hangs, cpu get 100% usage, shader caches starts creating files in shadercache folder, after u set low preset and restart game, on next start game can hangs and create over 6000 shader files... does it work as it should? who knows... and when u change the background sound focus option, game pop up info about graphic changes and needs restart... its a comedy... or tragedy ; )

    Yes I had the same problem.
    I foolishly fiddled around with the settings a bit.
    After that the game stuttered horribly.
    It seemed that whatever settings I tried, it did not help.

    I had to restart the game at least 30 times with different settings, before it worked reasonably well again.
    Took me over an hour of experimenting and restarting.
