This game lags whenever I attack?

Hi

So from the start of buying this game I've had issues where no matter if your aliens or marines you would get a slight 1 sec pause during attack.
The latest two patches seems to have improved it a little but every 3-4th attack I get a slight 1 sec lag after which i'm dead.

I know it's not my graphics card because I had a GTX 580 1.5GB card and I recently bought a R9 280X 3GB Card.
I'm running a i5 2500k with 12GB of ram.

Anyone having the same issue?

    What is your cpu clock speed? That also may provide some insight.

    Does this happen every engagement or only the first few? The first few, everyone is getting them, I think it's being worked on.

    It could be your mouse polling rate. Is it really when you attack or when you move your mouse around ?

    Is it when you fire a gun or attack? After recent updates I notice for the first few... minutes or so I will get a stutter per shot/attack, but after that it goes away

    Ok time to debug:

    After you had a lag open the console (` or ^) and type in profile.

    Press space to pause the profiling and select the lag frame (large bar) with [ and ] (or keys on your keyboard which are in the place of these keys at the US-Layout).

    Make a screenshot and post it here. Also usefull are the commands r_stats (to determ if it's a client issue) and net_stats(server or network issue).

    I was getting this all the time, then I turned down my mouse polling rate from 1000hz to 500hz and the issue disappeared. For some reason the engine causes a higher cpu load when the mouse polling rate is at 1000hz.

    Known issue, try to turn off raw input.

    There is an inherent variable lag for some weapons - shotgun for example. You press the button, there is a short pause of varying length, then the pellets come out. Very annoying. There is a lot of lag in this game, unfortunately.

    That's due to loading the shit on the fly. Hopefully being fixed soon.

    Yes. They fixed it ages ago, but then removed it in a patch a while ago. I don't understand why.

    My game hitches every 30 seconds now, almost always leading to my death.

    To keep the people who complain about loading times happy, they probably won't fix it. See this post:

    Samusdroid added a mod to the workshop that ought to fix the issue. If you want to try it out:
