Quick update, I hit the issue as always last night and tried out a few things but didn't find the silver bullet. So what I can discount so far as the cause of the issue, as the tests below I undertook while in the same Division 2 session: 1. Connecting to different streaming device via stadia app on my home network does not alleviate the micro stuttering 2. I turned off FQ_CODEL Traffic Shaping limiters in PFSENSE which I added to aid buffer bloat to see if that was the cause, it wasn't 3. I rebooted the router and then reconnected back in to the same gaming session, stuttering exactly same as before, no change. I'll try the options suggested by MrVacca and RXShorty a little later today and update this list. I do think the problem is with all Stadia games. As I was playing SpongeBob with my daughter and I noticed it in that game too. It is almost as those the frames per second is dropping in the games, maybe starts off at 60 and then drops to 30 or less. panning the screen left to right is very stuttery in a consistent way. If I'm in the middle of a heated battle in Division 2, for example playing heroic with 4 teammates taking a checkpoint, the stuttering gets even worse, its hard to be accurate with your shooting. It is as though stadia doesn't have the horsepower to run the game, the streaming bandwidth requirement to me shouldn't change, no matter how much action is going on in the screen. I am running the game in 1080p mode too, as my TVs are only Full HD, not 4k. Just thought I did try and drop the setting to 720p in the Stadia app too and that made no difference either. I should add that to the list above of failed attempts to fix too. I'll try and take some video with my phone and post here, so you can see the before and after comparison clearly.
