Just solved the problem after finding some random fixit article from 2023:
DELETE the entire CACHE file from WT: x:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\War Thunder\Cache
The game will rebuild this file which is apparently easily corruptible (maybe something for GJ to look into?)
Mine went from 536mb to 36mb and now the game is buttry smooth…woohoo…for now…
same issue here
The same issue. Cleaning the cache helped for a few games and it is happening again.
With the most recent AMD driver update this started happening, but instead of a big long stutter its near constant like 2 second stutters. It’s nearly unplayable, and it’s started happening in the hangar.
Same exact problems I have been having for about a month now. I also get the BSOD and the error points to Denuvo Anti-Cheat Update Service. I have disabled it I hope that fixes the lag spikes/packet loss crap, but I doubt it. Something happened in mid January as everything was awesome until then.
Same issue here, game suddenly stuttering again
Yup, same here. Either freezes, or black screen for a second. Gameplay is still rolling on though, since I can hear everything happening just fine. It’s gotten me killed a few times now on maps with quick reveal spawns. Brand new razer 16” with 4080 and 13950hx I think and 32gb ram. No other game has issues, just this one, and only at the start the first 20 seconds or so.
Constant stutters started happening to me a few days ago and now the game is unplayable for me. Already updated windows, graphic drivers etc. but to no avail. Only happening with war thunder so im assuming its an issue with the game as it was working fine until a couple days ago.

Am having the same issue here. Is generally much more frequent than what swingfire’s video shows. I am on an older laptop so I am normally around 50 fps on high setting, and in the seconds between stutters it will return to that level, but when it stutters they are longer than the stutters in his video as well. Would say that once the stuttering starts within maybe 2 minutes of launching the game, will be freezing occurs about every 5 second and lasts for 2-3 seconds, but will sometimes freeze for 5 seconds or longer.
Am running a windows 10 bootcamp on a 2018 macbook pro.

Hi there, same issue here… 25 seconds into a game I have either a black screen for a few seconds or stutters for a few seconds as well. This got me killed a few times and is happening each game.

You have the same problem I have, seems others experience a more frequent or different kind of black screen / stutter.
Same here. My stuttering is as noticeable, but is more common happening every second
Hi. I solved the issue of freezing and stuttering. In addition, I could solve the issue of crashing during airplane battles. Yes, I killed two birds in one shot. The problem seems to be a conflict between WT settings and the automatic Windows for graphics setting. The solution that worked for me running in a PC intel CPU with Nvidia GPU is next: In Windows, go to “Setting/Gaming/Game Mode/Graphics”. Once there, look for the “War Thunder Client” and also “aces.exe” if it exists. For each of these links select “Options” and next select “Don´t use optimizations for Windowed games”. Solved. Restart the PC just in case. Now can set graphics optimizations with your Nvidia and WT setting based on your preferences. I hope these can be useful for you. Thanks.
Here is the bug report for the two seconds freeze one minute after the start of a match, apparently caused by Windows Auto HDR:

Same issue, after aprox 5 minutes starts to stutter for about 2 minutes. Unplayable. Thereafter fine.
Tried all above, no solution. Fresh install, Lowest settings etc, tried it all. Still the same issue.
4090 and 7900 with 64gb.
It’s still happening, despite a handful of driver updates and War Thunder updates. Briefly after one update (I dont remember which) it went away, but came back after the next. This is terribly unplayable.
My specs:
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Radeon RX 6950 XT
32GB of RAM
Having this issue too on windows 10 tried all the fixes listed and none worked. At this rate I can only hope they fix the but in the next major update…
R7 5800x
RX 7900 XT
32gb ram
yeah no fix so far and it seems like Im not alone, this is beyond annoying. I constantly stutter in the hanger and in matches and even in test battles?!?!? like what??
Since the previous bug report for the two seconds freeze at the start of matches when Auto HDR is enabled was deleted, here’s the new one:
