Logs since they wouldn't add to the post. I've updated graphics drivers and the stutter is a little less constant but its still there and drastic

I'm having this issue on PS4 also ‐ on top of the glitching on my end, I'm also watching survivors glitch across the map as they run. Doesn't matter if I'm playing killer or survivor. Definitely a pain. (I made my own bug report on this, also)

Dude..or chick. I've updated my drivers like three times and did a fourth clean install that wipes all the previous drivers, I updated the pc, I gave my cpu more thermal paste because it was low, I reinserted my graphics card and none of that worked when most of the time the graphics drivers update fixes it usually. Its terrible

Are you playing with controller + mouse combo? There is a known issue with fps drops when using controller + mouse/keyboard simultaneously

I'm having the same issue. If I use my PS4 controller and my mouse at the same time, (That's how I play) then I experience frame drops of 30+. My FPS goes from 62 to like 28 FPS. It's literally unplayable. Is this a bug present in the game?

The situation is when in the match, the game stutter and freeze, fps drop from 60 just for half second then back to normal. The stuttering and freeze repeats every ~10 seconds. It's like 60 stutter to 50 then to 60 during 1 second, and reapeat every 10 secs The exact same issue happened before this patch and it seems the old tec issue come back to this game in new patch 4.6.0. The same issue happened in July 2020 and got solved by a hotfix. But the new patch 4.6.0 seem to bring it back.
Here is the past tec issue post link.
FPS DROP EVERY 10 SECONDS
• Platform: PC
• Description of the issue: The game freezes and drops 15 fps every 10 seconds (I counted it) after the 4.1.0 update
• Steps to reproduce (if possible): Just open Dbd
• How often does this occur: everytime

I had this exact problem the day of the patch. I literally couldn't lunge or go near certain tiles without my fps almost freezing. Have never had that problem before.
I ended up restarting my pc and it seemed to fix it although I still get random fps drops from time to time.
I'm having this issue on PS4 also ‐ on top of the glitching on my end, I'm also watching survivors glitch across the map as they run. Doesn't matter if I'm playing killer or survivor. Definitely a pain. (I made my own bug report on this, also)
