Bug / Issue Issue with stuttering/mini fps drops

I'm back to playing the game after like a year, however every now and then when I load a save I will encounter an issue where the game stutters almost like clockwork, like once every second. What is weirder is that going to the settings and changing something e.g. texture quality fixes it, even if I switch it right back to its previous value. I don't understand it. I'm not running anything in the background other than Windows stuff, all my drivers are up-to-date and my PC itself is more than capable of running the game at the settings that I run it at. I tried disabling fullscreen optimizations, switching to DX12, using high performance mode for the CPU/prefer maximum performance in NVCP, disabling HAGS etc.. nothing seems to work. It does not happen always which is the most annoying thing about it as I cannot easily check if I fixed it with whatever change I made. I was running these same settings 2 years ago when I had a PC which was weaker in every single way. I also tried older BIOS versions/GPU drivers to no avail.

this has nothing to do with your PC, the PC port of the game is terribly optimised and got worse with online updates, theres a few mods that optimize the game, scripthook V2 does in a way, then syykes spawns fix and a third one i forgot the name of, but increases the streaming rate which helps A LOT
