Arma 3 game stuttering

[Yyo 10]

Hello, I hope you're doing well! For a month or so now, I have been dealing with an issue where my game severely lags/stutters every 2 - 3 seconds upon startup/launch. It also stutters/lags (but not as consistently as on startup) anytime I either fire a weapon, explosions, and or just at random times during gameplay. I primarily play in singleplayer, I haven't played on any multiplayer sessions. I have, Reset my pc, reinstalled arma, and have tried countless combinations of settings ranging from the launcher parameters to NVIDIA control panel settings. Currently, I was able to narrow down the potential problem that may be causing this with the help of some good folks on the subreddit. Basically, each time I launch Arma, Steam starts downloading something arma related (most likely workshop content) and Steam does/attempts this for about 2 minutes into my game being launched. Within those 2 or so minutes, my game stutters severely up until steam is done/stops updating/downloading whatever was arma related. Gameplay wise, my game would stutter at times, either the first few seconds of a firefight or just randomly when in the editor, but what mainly bothers me is the startup. I have tried launching the game without internet and the stuttering is gone, and the stuttering that would occur during firefights and such was drastically decreased (although it still happens, it's arma haha). Any help/ideas I can try to fix this matter will be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time!

I've had the exact same thing for years and just gave up on trying to fix it. Let me know if you find a resolution and I'll do the same.

I have stuttering only on dedicated server in the fist 1-2 min, after this the game runs smoothly ... I will be awesome if someone knows why this happens.

Stuttering could be things spawning in, and scripts initializing, cant say unless i have an idea of whats in the mission and what

happens when it starts, whats the setup, using mods?

     Have you checked the rpt to see what it says?
