It scares me everytime the game loads.
I just solved my very similar problem tonight. I changed the frame rate limiter to 60FPS (to match vsync-on and my 60hz monitor). This instantly stopped all random stutter I was experiencing on Amiens. It was a solid 60FPS after that wth not a single drop. I wasn't expecting this to work as I assumed Vsync would have taken care of all that. Apparently not.
Anyway, I imagine if you have a 120hz+ monitor it might not work if you then want to limit frames to 120fps. I have a feeling that the stutter is related to the CPU choking whilst trying to keep up with the GPU or something.
I wonder how long before there's some kind of drama about having or not having "non binary" gender characters in a game. I seem to recall there being some drama about one of the cod's bringing in female characters, and then with bf1 you had those other tools bitching about NOT having female soldiers on the initial release.
The reason there was no Females in the initial release of BF! was simple, they were ironing the soldiers uniforms, that fact seems to fly over the heads of some feminazi's.

So now i've got 30 hours in this, these are my thoughts...
- Too much fog, a little weather effect is good especially when random, but the relentless clockwork-like fog is a pain in the arse.
- Balancing is the single worst of any shooter I've played, been in countless games of 32v10
- Poor medic class, the majority of weapons are so difficult to master that it drives people away from using what was one of the most used classes. Some weapons don't even have enough ammo per clip to down 2 enemies.
- Distinct lack of trenches.
- Poor DLC, ignoring any performance issues some are having the maps are generally poor, they're all pretty much the same, some snow, some hills and some run down buildings.
- Fairfight is absolute garbage, go back to PB. Yes it catches those with a 200:1 K/D, what it doesn't catch is those using damage multipliers and wallhacks. I've seen more 'hackers' in this 30 hours then I had in the previous 500 hours of BF3/4.
- An overall lack of weapons, most classes have 3-4 base weapons and a further 3 variations of that weapon, OK I know there wasn't vast amounts of weaponry at the time but it feels like little effort was put into it.
- As cliche as it would have been, this game would have been better suited for WW2 era, christ they could have just used BF1942 as a base line.

Regarding the WWII setting, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what Dice have planned for the next game, so that's probably why they wanted to do WWI this time around. Plus it's not been done in a AAA game before AFAIK.
Funny, I've got some of my best scores, best KD ratio and highest amount of kills using the medic class. If you haven't already, try the M1907 and the 8.25, plus the new Fedorov Avtomat is dangerous once you get used to it. The support class is the one I really struggle with. Other than the BAR variants and the Huot Automatic I find a lot of the guns awkward to use, particularly in any close-range fights.

Issue with the Rigotti is it takes too long to reload.
Mondragon have as a faster reload speed.

EA are now looking into the EU BF1 server lag problem.
Response from EA -
I just wanted to say thank you very much for submitting all this information - I'm sorry if you're experiencing issues, since we all love to play our game in peace and running perfectly smooth.
Unfortunately I won't be able to give you an instant update about how things are, but be assured this information is collected and forwarded to the relevant department.
So no ETA at the moment, but wanted to give you a quick update and state that this thread and information you submit is indeed helping!
Hope to see you on the Battlefield soon!

I'm not saying that the medic class is absolute garbage, just that the learning curve for predominantly single shot rifles deters people from playing as medic, such to the point when I've been medic, almost everyone skips back to the spawn screen giving no time to revive.
The Federov is a good fully auto rifle, but man what a grind to get it, something like 50 kills with the rigotti trench. The auto mode on the Rigotti is pointless too, first shot hits, then sprays in any direction apart from the target
Enjoying support quite a bit, MG15 LW if I'm on the move, lewis supressive if I'm held down, backed up with an ammo box and HE mortars.

Yeah DICE acknowledged it in the battlefield_live subreddit. It's European servers (I checked with several knowledgeable EU players to make sure it wasn't UK only), and it may be specifically the ones hosted in Ireland (Which means it's Nexus's fault).
Update:
DICE_jjju_ said:
This means one of 2 things:
1) An admission that whichever part of EA is responsible for running the servers has been cutting back on the resource since the release (when there were ~4 times as many players and the lag wasn't that bad.)
2) The updated DLC maps consume a lot more server bandwidth (CPU/memory) than the old maps and therefore the number of instances of the server than can be run on one piece of hardware is less (You may get lag while playing an older map because other server instances on the same hardware are running the new map and consuming more resources..)
Or maybe both..

My guess is either under spec'ed severs or a network issue either capacity or traffic management. Unless they have accidentally ruined the games netcode but the US servers seem ok.
It used to be fine until now so something has changed.

Yeah me too I was expecting the other dude *Cough* Black Dude *Cough* but saw her, thought it was weird, like a joke or satire or something. Lost for words sorry.
Performance is very odd for me, even before the last few updates. Either:
- it can run beautifully, super smooth, no fps drops, no lag
- lag/rubber banding galore
or/and
- performance issues, bad stuttering and fps drops
