    I'm having an issue with pretty servere hitching/stuttering every minute or so on Cardiff City ever since TSW 7. It looks and feels like shader compilation or load stutters, but it's not the shaders, as I've driven the route several times already. The problem seems to occur at predictable locations and persists even when I lower my view distance and foliage quality settings. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the dense network nature of the route and tile loading, but haven't had any luck yet with playing around with my settings. I haven't run into similar problems on other routes yet, only Cardiff. Has anyone else had similar issues or even found a workaround?

    My specs are as follows:

    Operating System: Windows 11
    CPU Brand: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-12100
    RAM: 32 GB
    Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
    Primary VRAM: 11 GB

    Lots of routes seem to be performing worse, much more stuttering on the following:

    East Coastway
    Medway Valley
    London to Brighton (worse on TSW7 even though 6 was stuttering in places)
    Riviera Line

    I’m beginning to regret downloading it tbh and may revert back to 6

    Played CCN earlier today, Steam for PC, had zero issues. Maybe try deleting you GPU Shader Cache?
