So far this is the stuff that's worked for me:
Started disabling shit one by one, apparently bringing the "animation quality" down to medium (or even low or whatever) helped my game. Works fine now.
I used to not be able to even see people swing until I turned that setting down. Hope someone else has similar luck as me.
Just read your post and I gave it a go. There used to be a very slight stutter when moving my character as well as spectating others, and turning VSync on actually seems to have worked!
Finally, Sauce was having trouble and we were messing with in-game options because he was trying to do all this fancy shit with his gfx card drivers and whatnot.
But I suggested actually
disabling the "animation trails" option in the in-game graphics. It seemed to allow him to see animations as well as removing the stutter for him. Hope it works out for anyone having similar issues.
Good luck!
tl;dr
- reduce animation quality (might be outdated since I don't see it anymore)
- set FPS to something high (I have it at 120), then enable V-sync
- disable weapon trails
