Post 1.5 Update stuttering

[Stellyria]

Despite the settings being the same and altering them every which way, approximately every 19 seconds there's a stutter/microfreeze. Not only this, but I realized looking feels oddly slower. I'm wondering what they might have changed in the game to make it act like this after they implemented the new changes.

Looks to be a powershell script running that's pulling CPU data every 20 seconds, I would hope that this is a testing bench mark tool used in house that got bundled into the update/release code accidentally, I hope. I would also hope it's hot fixed sooner rather than later..

I wouldn't be keen on renaming or removing powershell from your system32 as whilst it might fix this issue I suspect it'll end up causing your windows os further issues down the line.

Also the anti-virus is while annoying doing the right thing by flagging powershell being used and removing the game files again as annoying as that is... this game shouldn't be needing kernel level access

Same problem after today patch stutters every 10 secounds.

Left Windows Defender running, turned off Malwarebytes, seems to have worked. Not stoked about it though.

Same noticed alot stuttering despite my settings being the exact same

My game is now unplayable. I do have an older computer was at least able to play and aim, etc. Now that is not an option. It lags horribly.

There are a few new shader compilation stutters. No stuttering afterwards for me

I've been having the same problems after this mid season update. It's as if the stutters happen consistently every few seconds. I've updated all of my PC packages and the problem persists.

I'm having this issue as well. I was waiting for the patch to drop to start playing again. I was taking a few days break but now the game feels unplayable this way. I hope they fix it soon because this sucks.

Anyone who is worried about your pc specs it’s not that if it ran fine before the update it’s on their end not yours I have 4k pc set up and it ran flawlessly till after this update.

It may well have reduced the overhead on your cpu as the malwarebytes would have been blocking powershell requests from rivals, the requests will now be happening unimpeded which may well be impacting different processors differently, by this I mean not necessarily high end vs low end processors.
