Stuttering/Slowdown on Consoles: When do you get it?

I've seen a number of threads about this, claiming all sorts of problems. The most commonly brought up is PS4 though, and it's often asked if they have disk or digital versions. Thought I'd make a poll.
9 options. Choose what best suits you.
Xbox One requires installation to the hard drive, even using the disk version, so there is no separation between disk and digital versions for that system.

English is not my first language, Finnish is.
Please don't heap on me for grammar problems.

    I'm feel like a disk speed issue would only cause slow texture loads and pop-in. Stuttering and frame drops are usually CPU bottlenecks in MMOs

    @Sallington So they aren't streaming textures? I always thought mine on PC was due to network issues.

    No, textures aren't streamed from the servers. They reside on your local drive.

    Hmm. I'll stop occupying the console thread now. ;)

    It's during network connection issues. Has noting to so if any other player is around me or how many NPCs are out there. It's basically my character glitching and unable to interact with the environment prior to crashing out.

    Thing is, even in high population areas where the lag is worst, there's nowhere near the amount of players than in the average keep battle in Cyrodiil on the PC in recent weeks.

    I realise Cyrodiil is a separate server (well I hope it is) but if Daggerfall struggles with the relatively small amount of players in comparison, I'm not holding much hope for huge PS4 PvP battles.

    I've had lag in various places, busy towns are the worst, but even out on my own farming mats in crag, still getting the odd split second pause (worse if I'm in my horse)

    I also had huge lag inside daggerfall mages guild, while its still in the town, there was only 2 or 3 other players in there

    I think the slowdowns are to be expected. Tend to see it in the high populated areas, but I think the game does well overall let alone the load times are amazing considering what we see in previous Elder Scroll games and other games out today.
    PSN: blinkgirl211 - if try adding me send message first cause lots of random people always tries to add me...
