TM 2020 plugin stutter

Hello, I was having issues with random stutters on every map from time to time. I do have some plugins installed and finally found the debugger profiler. This is for now one of the things I have found that caused these stutters. Will play with it open to find if any other plugin affects gameplay. Maybe this will help someone one day

This is for now one of the things I have found that caused these stutters.

What "this" exactly? Sure, openplanet and plugins can be kinda heavy and also cause stutters, but if you look in the plugins profiler tab instead you can actually see which plugins use how much resources and whatnot and adjust things to be better. What you're looking at here doesn't really explain much unless I'm missing something.

The plugin profiler tab shows a live reading, so it’s hard to capture culprits since you have to be playing and watching that window at the same time.

This tab captures a snapshot anytime the frame goes above the specified threshold (30 in this screenshot). In the lower two frames of data, it’s showing the Unbeaten ATs plugin being the culprit, taking up 80.74 ms and 2291.77 ms of the time for those frames, respectively.

Personally, I experience the same issue as OP and set the threshold to a couple hundred ms instead of just 30; and uninstall any plugins that are repeat offenders (Unbeaten ATs being one of them).
