Steps to Reproduce
Place down a player movement device (PMD) and assign it to a trigger so you can activate in a game. Activate the PMD in the game and run and jump with some side movement and you will notice significant player stuttering while in the air.
Expected Result
Player movement should not be stuttering while the PMD is active.
Observed Result
Player can run and jump with side movement and it will appear smooth under normal moment. Once a PMD is assigned the player will see significant stuttering especially while jumping with any lateral movement.
PS. it’s a little hard to see in the videos as they are 30fps, it’s much easier to see in game.
Video 1 is no PMD and is smooth
Video 2 is with PMD and shows the stuttering
I can confirm that this issue is happening since the first day when this device was launched on June 7, 2025 in v36.00. In my case it is noticeable even for simple runnning when the speed increased by this device is set to a much higher value (I don’t remember exact values right now) than what corresponds for a default speed which makes this device useless for this use case. And the more I increase the value, the worse it gets.
I immediately wanted to start using this device when it was introduced, but because it was and still is buggy (I tried it again last month and it was the same) I am just waiting for it to be fixed before I will start using it.
