There are two separate things happening here. Stuttering and freezing. What I demonstrated with the screenshot of the trace and the first GIF in my original post is the stuttering. The second GIF that I attached in my original post demonstrates the freezing issue.
I believe I did catch it in the act during that trace, you can see many large spikes from the stutter whenever I hover over things. And the screenshot I posted is from one of those large stutter frames.
Using unreal insights, is there any way for me to drill down further and figure it out what the threads are waiting on? Because I see waiting for task a lot even some of my other games which isn’t very helpful without knowing what they’re waiting on.
