Anyone else's game freezing for one second every couple of minutes after the new patch?

[Shellshock]

Every couple of minutes (so four to five I would say) the game freezes for one second and then just continues normally as if nothing happened. Steam downloaded a new patch for the game before I started playing and before said patch was applied, I do not recall experiencing this in DS3.

Anyone else?

[Blackened Halo]

yes, after 1.04.1 my game runs like you stated, i use GTX 760

[Foltest]

game freezes are working as Intended same as Poise -From Software-

[fpsobsessed]

I get both stutters and freezes, both of which happen just randomly as I'm just playing the game.

Yeah I just tried it. I also noticed a much shorter freeze whenever I finish talking to an NPC at the Firelink Shrine. What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke. I discovered 1.04/1.06 with Nvidia 359.06 worked flawlessly on my system making it playable for the first time, and then 1.04.1/1.06.1 was installed 20 minutes later. Literally 20 minutes after I finally have DS3 working they break it.

Same issue here, every few seconds the game freezes, it's really annoying, it started after today's patch, before the patch it was completely fine.

Was running completely smooth before this patch; now getting short freezes every 30 seconds to a couple minutes. Running Windows 7 64-bit with a GTX 980M and an SSD.

Same deal for me; Windows 10x64,SSD and R9 290 3Gb Vapor-X.
Idk how they manage to ♥♥♥♥ up things,instead of fixing them.

Same here. Before i was getting a brief stutter, not that major, but now it is like 2s freeze which makes the game borderline unplayable. I wish i could refund because it is getting worse instead of better.

Looking at MSI Afterburner you can see exactly when it happens.
GPU frequency goes from its normal speed to 1455mhz to its idle speed of 135mhz, Vram goes from 3802mhz to idle 324mhz, the voltage goes from 1.256 to 0.825 and GPU Usage goes from around 50% to 0%.

Basically the card goes into idle mode for a second.

Stuttering once in awhile now with the new patch(1.06.1) with Radeon 280x

[Wodjanoi]

Same here - And I thought my hdd was the problem.
Windows 8.1 Pro, GTX 760 with new driver version.

[hellmoon]

same here

i5/gtx970 here

game worked fine til last patch now i get this random hiccups sometimes

[WhySoSerious]

I got stutters also with gtx980ti and I tested it with my other PC AMD R9 280X same stuttering so it is not related to NVDIA cards they messed up with this latest patch

[Stehwahn]

I had those freezes as well (gtx970) but after I got the newest driver (365.19) those freezes seem to be gone - it was just a quick test though

They're still there.
