I’ve been dealing with similar problems. It’s stuttering every five seconds or so. I ended up quitting out of the first mission I did today… not sure what the cause is. I was doing the water cartel mission.

I’ve been experiencing the exact same problem, except it’s happening literally everywhere - missions, The Mourningstar, even the title and loading screens.

Verifying file integrity on Steam can help to reduce the stuttering, it doesn’t completely resolve it but it does help.
