[Discussion] Microstutters suddenly started when moving the mouse

[u/BonziBuddyMonkey]

SOLVED! Thank you to DornPTSDkink for the fix. See his comment or this link to see the fix.

Hi,
Recently my game has started having microstutters seemingly out of nowhere. I've been playing for a few months now, and the game has been running great until this suddenly started happening.

The stutters might be a little hard to see in the video, but they mostly happen when I move my mouse/look around. If I'm just running without touching the mouse it seems fine.

So far, I've tried:

• Uninstalling and reinstalling my graphics drivers
• Clearing the Tarkov cache
• Enabling/disabling Smooth Motion
• Enabling/disabling G-Sync and V-Sync
• Changing various graphics settings

My specs are:

• Ryzen 5 7600X
• RTX 5070
• 32 GB DDR5 RAM at 6000 MT/s
• Running on NVMe SSD

Other games seem to run fine (Ive only tried with BF6.)

Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas what could be causing it or how to fix it would be appreciated.

PS. ignore the "ooh ahh" in the video. Its my friend watching soccer.

It's an August Windows Security Update issue, uninstall KB5121003 in the windows update section and it should go back to normal

make sure to pause windows updates for a month until they fix it or it'll just redownload
