Temporary stutter fix for huge Steam friendlists!

By SgtFopper™

A simple step-by-step guide if you have a large friendslist on Steam. The "problem" here is that the game always refreshes the (huge) Steam friendlist to see who's online in the game. And this causes the stutter issues that's happening every 15-20 seconds!
Thanks to my friend Kenuty for his tip!

Step One

Start a game, log in and you're in the camp!

Step Two

While you're in the camp, minimize your game and disconnect from your router!
Go back ingame and wait until you get logged off. You land where you see the B4B wallpaper!

Step Three

Minimize the game again and reconnect!
After you're online again, go back ingame and login again.

Final step!

And now while you're back in the camp and online again; the stutter issues should be removed now.

Important tip & last words!

If you quit the game and want to play again later, you have to do the steps written in this guide again!

Let's hope this issue will be solved for the full release!
Have fun with the Beta! :)

No idea this thing ever existed, I've not gotten stuttered once in the game and no crashes so far at least as I can tell. How many on the friendlist is suppose to be above > X to be considered as huge?

Guessing this is a CPU related issue, rather than GPU or ram?
Only thinking this because I have a pretty large friends list and never had this issue.

Perfect

C'mon, guy under this comment, the game uses your steam friend's list to see who's online. They didn't account for people who have 300 friends, and whether or not that'd lag people's games. That's a reasonable bug for a game in beta using an API they didn't make.

so this game is so fragile that even the irrelevant steam friend list would have a impact on it.
