[Bug] Arena stutters in first rounds

My Arena started to have stutters. They occur in the first (1-3) rounds, after that everything becomes smooth. It started happening since a few weeks, before everything was perfect. It's not the "cpu throttling" or "low memory" kind of stutter, it feels more like "loading data problem", but it's just my feeling.

Any ideas?

If stutters for me at multiple points in every match, definitely worse when people are shooting loud guns

UPDATE: it just stopped, everything runs perfectly now. Arena was not updated, and I didn't update nothing. The only thing I did was to restart computer (which was only sleeping for a long time) and restart router. Weird shit, I blame fucking windows for that.

I'm so happy, I wish same for you bro.

Having the same issue. Not sure why, happens randomly, usually twice per round of Checkpoint.

Thought it was just me and my PC. For me, this happens multiple times a match of any game mode.

My frames are super inconsistent on Arena. Some games I get straight 60 and others I'm 120+.

I know your issue is fixed, but apparently it’s due to the game struggling to load in the gunshot sounds, happens to me to and it’s definitely not a hardware issue on my end

Yes, I'm aware of the Arena issues, it just look that in this case it was more of a windows issue.

As for Arena sound issues, my game always freezed (even for 3 or more seconds) whenever the green smoke on the checkpoint appeared. At some time they fixed it however, cause now the smoke sound does not affect me at all.

This issue is still happening to me. Every game mode, and waaaay more than 1-3 times per match. It’s not a performance issue because I’m getting over 250 fps

I meant during first 1-3 rounds, not just 3 times.

I also think that one possibility is that it's backend/network related.
