Are shaders compiling in the background?

[JimmyCakes]

Since the patch a few weeks ago I've been getting horrendous FPS stuttering sometimes lasting throughout the game, usually when I come in to contact with players. Did Taleworlds change the way shaders or animations get compressed and it's doing this in real time as you play?

No idea. I did have this weird thing going on a couple of weeks in captain mode. When ever i would come in contact with infantry, they would transform into massive black 'blobs'. No screenshot unfortunately

I think they have been trying to optimize their netcode and in the process they are making the performance of the game worse. I think the cav hooves being silent is due to this problem as well.

Lowering settings does nothing either, which is why I thought it was compiling something on the go
