    Starting to get real tired of the frame drops/stuttering...

    The frame drops (stuttering) has been happening for me more and more. Seems like its gotten worst after the first update because I don't remember it being this bad at launch despite all the other bugs. But now its gotten to the point where its started to affect my speedruns and would happen every other run on any tracks, and mostly at critical points for me and today I was tryin to speedrun the first ninja track White Belt and ive had to restart at least 10 times because I would mess up somewhere on the track due to the lag, when the frame drops briefly, it wont register any inputs from me for maybe half a second (but long enough for me to mess up a jump, hop or landing. Seems like this wasn't optimized enough for the regular Xbox One or the Xbox One S (which is what I currently use). Ive heard it runs just fine on the Xbox One X. Will this be addressed in the next update? Would appreciate a straight answer.

    Same here. I get short but really annoying frame drops every minute or so.

    And it doesn't seem like it has gotten worse after the first update, it DID get worse. I had none of these frame drops on XB1S before the first update rolled out.

    same here, I too experience these more often than before update.

    it's probably time to go collective and start a petition to get RedLynx out from shadows

    Something tells me that the PR at Ubisoft is keeping Redlynx from being active on here (liability reasons or whatever) because now its only the 'damage-control' moderators (who probably have nothing to do with the development of the game) are active on here and all we ever get is "submit a support ticket/we'll pass that onto the team/go watch our streams, MAYBE the devs will mention something".

    I have lost 2 different top 50 runs on Toxic Behavior and Liberty Station because the frame dropped and messed up my runs. THIS HAS GOT TO BE FIXED ASAP. The more I play, the worse it gets. I almost want to stop playing or grind for anymore diamonds/0 fault ninja runs. Maybe you guys can buy me an Xbox One X or give me a code for the game to play it on my near-maxed out specs PC. At least tell me this is acknowledged and being worked on so maybe I wont stop caring.

    Oh man, I feel your pain. Had multiple instances last night that stuttered in the wrong place during a run - was about to plat loose screw and frame drop blows me up, a few checkpoints on green belt that caused havoc in the run, and also started working on medieval flair contract with the big jump slide on one wheel with a nice frame drop at the end of the track causing the bike to drop and fail miserably. I just laughed out of frustration. Just rotating through these last three events I'm trying to finish and you play scared because you are waiting for that inevitable frame drop. Eagerly waiting for the patch.

    I did the medieval flair ninja contract last night. You don't have to wheelie the whole big slide, just drop down at the bottom then spring jump on the next ramp, it's easier and only took me a few tries (even with the stuttering lag).

    You done the Lynx World ninja contract? I think it's the hardest one there is (besides finishing any of the ninjas). I'm stuck on this one and the Pripyat no lean 0 fault run.

    Medieval is my last ninja since Im haven't gotten past cp 8 of Green belt yet. Lynx world was difficult because you have to rush it and must be somewhat flawless, but after finding where you want to specifically nose and wheelie it became a feasible challenge for myself. I would get as much wheelie as possible in before the first nose manual drop and seemed to ease the pressure. I came close too many times to count, but was a satisfying completion. I'll give medieval a whirl tonight. You'll do Pripyat quickly I'm assuming as there is only one or two areas that may give you trouble.

    Do you know if Blue and Black belt give anymore Ninja contracts or is it just clothes? At this point trying to clear all the contracts, pass some ninjas, and get the last platinum on loose screw before attempting speed running any tracks out of frustration from stuttering, frame drops, and tire glitches.

    Is anybody else getting more and more stutters on Green/Blue/Black Belt ninjas? Aside from the UK Upper track, the frame drop would frequently occur on the last 3 ninja tracks like every 10-15 second intervals. All the other tracks would do it in 45-60 seconds intervals, almost like clockwork which tells me that this should be a easy spot/fix. This is absolutely unacceptable because it affects speedrunning/0 fault runs or accumulate a lot of faults on the higher ninja tracks from it alone. I play on Xbox One S (Gears of War 4 console edition). Not sure if the devs acknowledge this because I didn't see any of this in the next patch notes.

    Forgot to reply to this even though its been a while. And yes seems like everytime you beat a ninja track, it would unlock 5-6 ninja contracts. And im in the same boat, only have 2 more skill games to platinum and waiting for the patch later this week so I can improve all my stadium runs. And I just checked and im not even on the leaderboards for Green Belt because I got the Ubisoft connection error right after beating it (silver medal) but did not get any score from it added to the global leaderboards so now I have to play it again.

    Do you have any tracks on track central? Don't know if it was coincidence or not but the stuttering for me started almost immediately after I uploaded my first track. I'd be playing a track and for half a second the game wouldn't register inputs as i was playing and I'd be stuck in a lean I didn't want to be stuck in and wreck the run. When I'd go back to the menu it would give me the message about my track, go back in and play until it stuttered again and repeat.

    My best guess was the game was pinging back and forth with a server to make sure the game would give the message about my track, but because I was in a level it would just lag a bit instead and try a certain amount of time later to tell me again.
