Match Engine Stuttering

Hey all, hoping this is the right forum to post this!

I've been experiencing issues with the 3d match engine as of the last few months wherein, despite the game running smooth for the most part, it'll eventually skip some frames during matches causing a stutter effect. It's not the biggest issue, but one that's driving me slightly loopy nonetheless. I've noticed it happens more frequently around shots/saves than at any other points in the game, and that changing the graphic setting between various combinations of high/medium/low seems to have little to no effect.

I'm currently playing on an M3-chip MacBook Air, however, it happened on my previous M1-chip version as well, so don't think it's a hardware issue, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing anything similar?

try window mode it solves a lot of things

Thanks for the suggestion mate, no noticeable difference I'm afraid though.

I've contacted SI to see what they suggest, I'll post in here if I mange to fix it just in case anyone else is getting the same thing.

I do have some stutters during the match as well, but only when I'm watching the bot play - my own games go rather smoothly. It's been like that since release and I couldn't come up with a solution even though I dug around the forums and reddit. Hope you have more luck than me. 

lock fm fps to 6o or 30. your gpu is probably too powerful

Strangely enough it's the opposite way round for me, stutters mores during my own matches than it does the AI's! Still no luck with SI themselves, nothing they've suggested so far is fixing it!

Capping to 60fps even doesn't solve it, makes it more noticeable if anything, can't figure it out at all.

Good luck.

I'm having the exact same problem and it's driving me slightly nuts. I had no issues from launch but for the last month or so, there's been noticeable stuttering during matches. It's just frustrating and ruins the immersive experience. Most annoying is that the stuttering tends to happen in the build up to an opposition goal :-/

I've dropped all of the in-game graphic settings to low (crowd etc) and removed the shadows, think that's helped a bit. I'm on a Macbook Pro M1 Max. I don't think I can tweak the Nvidia settings.

Maybe it's coincided with switching to Sonoma.
