Once a replay gets into the mid-to-late game I am getting a stutter issue: every second or so it freezes then continues.
I dont think its a hardware performance issue: my fps never drops below 50, but does go from 90FPS down to 50FPS and back again in time with the stutter.
Any idea what's causing this? I did not have this problem previously.
Thanks
when have you started playing and when has the issue appeared ?

This is intentional. You hit the point in the replay where the game slowed down to something like -1, -2 or someone had connection issues, or the like.
The replay server sends new data every (real time) second to avoid sending data in a lot of tiny chunks, in game it's seen as a second of normal speed, then a stutter. If we didn't have this system, you'd see a tiny stutter every 0.1 second, I don't know if it's better or worse.
Either way, the solution here is to slow down the replay with the '-' key until it runs smooth again.
I'd like to know what replays stutter for you, can you share a replay id?

@Rezy-Noob Only fairly recently, mostly have been watching a bunch of replays.
@MazorNoob That sounds kind of like it might be what's happening, but I tried slowing it down further and the stutter remains.
Now I'm wondering if maybe it is a performance problem after all? My specs: i7 2.90ghz, 16gb ram, geforce gtx 1070 8gb vram
@arma473 Not live replays, just archived ones:

As an aside i think its very neat that FAF has such a wealth of replays, there are numerous other games I wish were so well represented in this respect.
