The frame stutter issue that progresses throughout a session until it renders the game unplayable can apparently only be fixed by downgrading steam to a version from 2024?? crazy that that sort of thing can just happen and there's no recourse. Although maybe if I play it on a powerful enough machine I can just brute force past it?

Apparently it can be fixed by turning the game while offline, and then turning online ingame, since it's an issue with Steam servers/overlay. I just played offline the whole time last time I played, but obviously it's not ideal.
