Hey everyone, I have a question about my Fortnite experience. Whenever I play, I notice frequent stutters. I've tried running at the lowest possible settings, but they still happen. On Epic settings they become less frequent, though they remain occasional. On Windows 11, I have the newest drivers and a high-performance PC with an i7-8700 and RTX 3060. My graphics card is using NVMe, and both the CPU and GPU are running at peak performance. Temperatures are normal, and background processes aren’t consuming much power (except Discord). I took screenshots and performance graphs, and I see spikes in Ethernet and CPU usage that seem to trigger the stutters. After playing for a while, those spikes smooth out a bit, but they still occur. I only experience this issue in Fortnite. I also played BF5 at full settings and it ran smoothly with 100% GPU and CPU use. PS: I enabled vertical sync and triple buffering in the NVIDIA control panel; without them, my screen often tears or locks at 60 FPS from VSync.

It began affecting me and my wife with the newest season. We ceased watching three days after its release. We haven’t revisited it yet to determine if things have improved... Is this a fresh issue for you?

It kinda is a new problem simply because I've never played that much Fortnite on PC. My main platform for this game is my xbox and it runs flawlesly. Not a single stutter at constant 120fps. On my PC tho... Its simply bad. And thats on directx11. If i turn DX12 and ray traicing - I get more stutter than fps

I experience severe stuttering for roughly 20 minutes during Fortnite sessions. Over time, the issue gradually gets better and disappears.
