Strangest thing.

Had a match against a Doctor yesterday. And it was so odd, because exactly every 4 seconds, the game would stutter for exactly 5 seconds.

Which made it so gens, totems, healing, and unhooking took an extra 5 seconds. Even if the bar was full, it was still doing the action. Even the chase music was off, it was so weird.

Is this some minor form of lag switching? It's not the first time I have ran into this either. I have experienced it about 6 other times that I can count.

    Sounds like heavy lagg.
    And no, laggswitching is when the killer teleports to you and downs you in a moment.

    The oddest part was, that his lobby was 80-87 Ping, even when the match started, it didn't shoot up or anything. Then I get met with this stuttering soon as I get in.

    Well the ping indicator is known not to be really reliable.
    Until we get dedicated servers, we sadly have to deal with stuff like this.
