    stuttering time to time, just me? :(

    Hello.
    Starting from 3-4 days ago, I think, I started to experience these short stuttering in-game time to time. Is it just me? Oh man.

    Every 10-15 minutes or so I get a hard freeze for about 3 seconds. I thought it might be my firewall or antivirus or windows update, but I shut all those down and I still get it.

    I didn't used to. Back before TU 10 everything was fine and smooth. But something changed with TU10 or 11,and I don't know causes it.

    Yes, I get some stutter lately.

    This morning I got something quite new though. Twice during a stronghold mission, I got this glitch that lasted about 30 frames at a time. It would put me somewhere else on the map for just a moment. My agent didn't change at all. Just the world around him. Like literally somewhere else. Not even in an area that is part of the mission. Bizarre.

    Not just you. Either stutter has been introduced by recent patches/updates, or they have scaled back the investment on servers and infrastructure.

    It's servers. Definitely cut backs going on.
    I have a feeling the last maintenance server reset transferred a lot of traffic to fewer servers.
    They have never kept it a secret that they rent servers and don't own any of them.

    For me, even The Division 1 stuttered a lot. The game showed me frozen enemies while they were not frozen and kept shooting me. So yeah... it was a serious server problems.

    Oh man. I'm relieved and downed at the same time. Thank you all for telling me your experience.
    When developers said they put Lau in future manhunt list and announced optimization table is coming, I sensed that this game is near the end but couldn't think server reduction was going to happen. I made peace with the first two but server being reduced makes me a tiny bit sad, even though it's pretty obvious, now that I think of it.
    Thanks again.

    I think there was a Ubisoft Connect patch on the same day, so am wondering if it's related to that. I've been getting the occasional hitch since where framerates take a dive before everything returns to normal. Doesn't seem to matter whether grouped or solo, or on any particular location.

    There are some fishy things going on the moment. Was shot by an invisible NPC. Seen them spawn in the door (underground), equipped my shotgun and it seemed as if they went back. Then I got hits out of thin air, when downed only then I see the veteran appear and run off. Next one, running down the street, alert on radar of nearly NPCs, notice their arrows further down the street, next second they are standing right next to me (teleporting). And when using grenades if often looks like those NPCs killed in the blast simply arise from the dead, or the game just creates new ones at the spot.

    If someone says they are cutting costs by reducing servers, I'd say, they sure are. Also had major issues while playing with hardcore, total freeze from time to time. Just great!
