Match stutters are back and awful as ever.

I primarily play survivor (though it's happening on killer too) and I have been noticing there's been a ton of game stuttering, freezing, etc as of late. It is not my PC or my Wifi, all of my other games run just fine! It feels like the game is holding me back sometimes, like my character model is running on a glue trap for mice (Rubberbanding) In this particular instance against this Huntress, I freeze in place and she ends up ahead, whiffs a hit because she probably saw me on her screen there. Which is unusual, because other times that I freeze in game (that i know were wifi issues), my character model continues running and ends up getting hit DURING the freeze. Either that or she froze with me, that's my theory. This was odd all around.

It doesn't matter which queue I'm in, regular matches or Anniversary, my game frequently stutters and freezes. It happens on all maps, against any killer. Maybe blinding her caused this?

Platform: PC, Steam

Step by Step: Load into a match as a survivor or killer, wait to see if stutters happen. (Typically happens when the killer has a more complicated power, like Freddy, but it still happens with other killers)

    The moderation teams kept chopping it all up to everyone having "technical issues" when that is not the case here. I'm glad mine was forwarded for review, here's hoping developers see it

    Been getting stuttering on and off for months, always at the worst possible times mid-chase. No other games I play online have any problems whatsoever, my internet has been consistently rock solid.

    It's just so frustrating!! I'll be going just fine, then suddenly the killer is causing me to lag and stutter. I don't know how they could possibly mess something like this up, but I'm really hoping they manage to fix it </3

    Yeah and still no word from the devs about it. No suprise at this point tbh.

    This has been an ongoing issue since the UE5 update and still no word from the team if it'll ever be fixed. It's been very frustrating to play with. Like when we were talking about "quality of life" changes this was the changes we wanted..

    This is being ignored for at least 6+ months now. I've seen content creators with 5090's that are having crazy fps losses mid game. But apparently it's just our PC's..

    Yeah well and if we do tag the devs, we either get a warning or a standard response asking for logs... I really don't get it. Why is this being ignored.

    Don't know how related it is but Houndmaster has an insane game-ruining bug that makes her stutter-step at like 1/3rd her normal movement speed for the entire match. It seems to happen totally randomly (possibly triggered by cancelling or interrupting a command) and go away just as randomly.

    I've also noticed a lot of stuttering while playing killer in general. I'll down someone and then i'm suddenly like 2 foot away from them. It's especially bad at the beginning of a trial; i'll stutter a lot when moving, and then typically stutter again the first 1 or 2 times I use my basic attack; it seems to happen more often when I swing at a nearby survivor, which is so annoying because it looks like i'm about to hit them- game stutter- i'm standing still and they're far away from me.

    It's like i'm getting attacked by King Crimson for the first minute or so of every trial and it gets really grating having to kind of just sit there, exist, and wait for the game to sort itself out.

    More proof that this is affecting all players in a match. You can see both me and Kaneki freeze at the exact same moment (if he hadn't, I would've been downed immediately.) Major freezing appears about 3 seconds into the video and 30 seconds in. I used Lithe as Kaneki used his leap, don't know if that affects anything. As shown, my ms barely spikes during these moments- if it was truly my hardware or wifi, my ms would've been upwards of 100-400 (I know from experience.) Here is my log again for good measure.
