Game has constant micro freezes, image included so you can see the performance graph

In all areas of the game (maps, hideout, town, etc) I get constant micro freezes both on Vulkan and DX11. The game will seem to stop for less than half a second and then resume. But this can happen many times per minute. Game is playable, but it feels pretty bad.

While this happens, the performance graph usually shows a spike in shaders/latency and ms but not always.

My game is installed on an nvme ssd, and I do not recall such issues in previous leagues. Also important to note is that no other games are having issues, not even heavy titles like a Total war or HL Alyx in VR.

My system specs:
i7 9800x
gtx 1070
16gb ram
game installed on nvme ssd

Thanks in advance for any help

what type of NVME SSD is the game installed on??

And could you post a 300+ packet WinMTR report to the instance IP where this is happening WHILE you are in the instance having this problem....

Samsung Evo 960. Nothing wrong with it. All other games on it work perfectly fine

And no idea what WinMTR is sorry

Regarding your SSD, then several players have reported problems with PoE when running on the EVO 970. If they moved PoE to another SSD the problem was solved. So that's why I was asking about that. One user is debugging this issue right now.

Yeah I'm reinstalling the game right now on another SSD. If that does not fix it, I will come back with a WinMTR result. Thanks

FYI.: I am using the Samsung 980 Pro and don't have these problems....
Same stuff happens to me constantly.

Got the same problem, since the latest patch. I have PoE on SSD as well. I only have 1 SSD on my laptop :(
