[2021] [PC] Stuttering and crashing in game, not related to FPS or ping.

Hey all,

I am getting random stuttering in game, equivalent to 5-10 FPS, usually in the middle of fights. However, its not my actual FPS, because my frames are never below 60 and I don't think its my ping either because that is never higher than 35. I noticed there is 1 file steam cannot validate, no matter how many times I try. Other than that, I have no idea what could be causing this issue. I play a lot of online and hardware intense games and For Honor is literally the only game having issues. Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or has anyone experienced it in the past?
