The game keeps ramdomly stuttering in audio and video and i tried everything to fix it! I know this might be a long shot, but pleeease, did anybody figured out how to solve this?
Are you sure it isn't a hardware problem? It doesn't happen to me in either game.

Pretty sure man. I saw in some posts that this happens on the sequel, but apparently it happens in the first one too. The game runs smoothly and out of nowhere it starts stuttering like crazy and only restarting the game stops it from happening. But a few minutes after restarting the game, it just stutters again
That sounds more like a buffering issue. Hard to say if it's from the drive, videocard, or the RAM. Does it happen randomly, in the same places, or after a certain amount of time? You didn't mention your system specs, so I'm guessing you meet the minimum requirements.

Yeah, the game runs smoothly to me. I have a RX 590 GPU with a Ryzen 3 2600 processor and 16 GB of RAM.

It happens at random mostly. When i reset the game, it just happens at a different point but it always happens eventually. It happened when i was in combat, when i was exploring, etc.
I just started the game (The Surge 2) and had micro-stutterings during even the first game scene: FPS was quite OK (~60FPS) but every 1 or 2 sec a stutter would occur, even on lowest settings (which would give higher constant FPS).

After medling with VSYNC options without success, trying to set CPU affinity onto only 2 CPU cores (hello Subnautica :)), I finally solved it after seeing the game was running with "Background" CPU priority, which is utterly stupid (and I don't know where it comes from). I set it at "Normal", and micro-stutters are gone. (Process Explorer is your friend for this)

TL;DR: chech the CPU priiority of the game process, and check it is "Normal" and not bellow, "it worked for me" (c)

Gonna try this out to see if it works. I´ll let you know. Thanks!
Additionnaly, as my CPU is not that great either, I disabled the "Streaming textures" options (TS2 still), so that the game loads textures once, and not while playing.

I just finished TS2 and I confirm disabling "Streaming textures" is a great idea for old CPUs, as once a zone is done loading there is no more stutters while staying in that zone.

Be warned: while entering some few zones I have to still wait 20s after the loading screen disappears for stutters to stop and the game to become definitely smooth (untill the next zone loading, that is).
