The hitching is not only effecting fps but as been effecting my game tick as well. Currently in my project I’m having a hard time making the game with the game tick messed up and it has been a very frustrating issue The hitches are in regular intervals roughly 3 seconds The hitches spike game tick and fps when using the stats viewer. Additionally the game will freeze momentarily and with game tick being messed up it will interfere with my AI. Please help. Here’s what I’ve tried Changing framerates smoothing Reinstalling engine Downloading new graphics and cpu drivers And also tried diffrent projects Any theories? Thanks again for helping ---

I have the same problem only in 4.25 and still no solution. editor freezes every 2 seconds for half a second or so. very annoying to work with even when not coding something. ---

this solved issue for me > **[r/unrealengine - Stuttering in any project in UE 4.24](https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealengine/comments/ekwtwg/stuttering_in_any_project_in_ue_424/)** > > 2 votes and 16 comments so far on Reddit "I found what was causing the issue but not why. If you don’t use UDP connections you can disable them in the project settings like I did here. Turns out it’s a rare issue with 4.24. It’s not a solution but that’s what I’ll settle on until I figure out what it is or if it’s on their end and they fix it with 4.25. It could be something related to the Android SDK as I remember downloading it once and removing months ago, then later I switched to 4.24. I wasn’t even using the SDK anyway." ---

This is _a_ solution, but certainly not _the_ solution sadly. This problem seems to be caused by a handful of things, depending on a person’s project. The short answer is that this is one of many common issues in UE4 that they are too lazy to fix because they know people will keep using it regardless, which is sadly true. Would be nice for them to care one day.
