Facing Freddy causing stutters?

First game against Freddy I instantly noticed more stutters than usual, anyone else had the same issue? UE5 is known to cause stutters, however usually DBD doesn't stutter as much as when I faced Freddy couple times earlier today.

    I don't know this 100%, but typically after major updates, DBD has to occasionally recache shader compilations - often you'll find the first time you face a killer after an update will cause stuttering for the first game or so on PC as it compiles then caches them. It's a common thing people encounter on UE5 PC games.

    Have you had stuttering since you've played him in subsequent matches?

    I found the same. Since I was playing a streamer I wanted to watch the game back (to see what on earth my team-mates were doing for the entire match) and the streamer was complaining about visible stutters from his side too.
