Repeated short hitching

[OfCounsel]

Hello,

 

I've been having a problem with PoE.  When clicking some in-game action, I periodically will get about a 2-3 second hitch before the game continues normally.  There is no crash.

 

I checked the stickies and the hitching error listed looked similar to what I'm experiencing, however the post stated it was fixed with 1.06, which I have.

 

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hello OfCounsel,

 

Welcome to the forums! Are you still currently on 1.06? Just so you know, its been quite some time since then and we are now on 3.02. I would highly suggest that you update your game.

 

Thanks!

Sorry, I should have clarified.  I meant I have already done 1.06.  My current game version is 3.02.1008 and I'm using Steam.  In the meantime, I've verified the game cache, checked the "run as administrator" option, and disabled background Steam downloads.  Still having the issue.  Thanks.

Still going on.  Notice it tends to happen either immediately following an input command (from keyboard or mouse).
