ok so make sure the game and its shader cache live on an SSD, not a hard drive. reading cached shdaers from a slow disk can create hitches of its own.

Ran lspci k from the live USB: Wi Fi and GPU both had drivers loaded out of the box.

on a hotspot or shared building network, try a different connection temporarily. some shared networks block the ports the console needs, and a different network is teh quickest way to prove it. hope that helps :)

@liv.grant nah thats not it, vram has nothing to do with it 🔥 for me it was the defalut config. swapped it and boom, fixed
