Issue Description (Required):

Hey there! First of all, I’ve really been loving this game. It hits some really wonderful itches I’ve been looking to scratch. However, I’ve been having some issues in the past week that have intensified in the last few days, and really intensified in the past 24 hours. It’s challenging to put into words, but I’ll do my best.

I’ve been having an issue with stuttery gameplay. At random intervals, my character will seize up and repeat the same approximately 0.1-0.3 seconds of animation repeatedly (as an example, it will perform a fraction of a thrust of a slash of the Tactical Axe, and then visually loop back to where it was less than a moment prior, and then repeat about a dozen+ times) for about 2-5 seconds, and glide in whatever direction I was walking or sprinting at the time without being able to change direction or pacing. At first, I thought this was lag, but it has become more pronounced in the past few days. It is more pronounced on my faster characters (such as a my stealth Zealot) than it is on my slower characters (such as my shouty veteran who is hugging the group). It happens more often when I sprint, and there does not seem to be a correlation between this occurring and there being a horde attack.

The reason I don’t think this is lag is because in the last match I could see the Poxwalkers wailing on me as normal, but I could also see my teammates roaming and killing them, and them specifically reacting to being hit and killed. I’m unsure what to do, because at this point it’s actively getting me killed :frowning:
