this has to be server/location/netcode related. its like in squad, when you are on a 150 ping server and fps are stable but lags happen, no rubberbanding, but visual stutters. only here its all the time since release no matter how port forwarded or what servers i try.

so my question is, using european servers for lowest ping, am i the only one with stutters. dont reply with: its your hardware or silly stuff like that. i seriously consider banging on the war drums one day and go to discord and contact the devs directly, because im getting desperate.

Context:
Even with GPUBusy being perfect (intel presentmon), game being gpu bound with locked 60 fps, even at locked 30 fps, fresh windows and driver install, every other game runs smooth in my library, im gpu bound as i said, running a 5800x3d, the game just stutters like crazy. i think its netcode related. running a rx6950xt as the gpu and a samsung 990 pro nvme ssd. just got a new 1000W seasonic titanium PSU for the rig. its 100% not hardware, OS or drivers. i checked double and triple. its literally just darktide. resizable bar on and off, smt on and off, all worker thread settings and graphics settings on and off. LITERALLY anything was tried. when im in the psykarium, its somewhat smoother, but as soon as anything with players happens. it stutters. win10 vs win11 even, spend an entire week wasting my life trying to determine if im crazy or if its the netcode.
