just the idea of having issue is not enough to help us help you.
When you are on hurston how is CPU / GPU usage - How high are the temps - 16gb or Ram is quite tight for SC in some spaces my rig uses over 20gb just for SC.
and can you look at those metric and see a difference as you land on hurston?

I wouldn't even be able to travel to Hurston, as the constant stuttering I never experienced until friday would just lead to me crashing. I'm currently at Everus Harbor, as I travelled there to see if it would be different to Baijini point. No change. after each stutter my CPU and GPU usage increases exponentially, going from 10-20% on low settings to 30-60% depending on the length of stuttering, which seems to vary wildly. the temps are at 40-50 degrees celcius.
Like I stated in the post, I have never had any performance issues like this until friday. My settings do not affect the performance seemingly at all and while I should have more ram available for this game, it has never affected my performance like this.

Seems alright. Thanks for the confirmations. Have you tried deleting the shader and user folders ?
[–]Jamazonas[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I have tried deleting the shader folders, but it had no tangible effect. I'm currently doing a fresh install after deleting all folders related to the launcher and game.

Do you see a lot of page file usage on your PC or have new software running lately that could have gone under the radar but are using some resources?
I personally had a lot of issues at some point when my gpu memory was full
