I'm not sure to understand what "hitching" is, but if, by chance, your are referring to the blurriness when you turn around, it's a designed feature that can be deactivated in the settings. LIkewise, there's a "tunnel"-effect when you speed up.

If it's more like a visual stutter, then the issue is on your end, and you should check your FPS. Look for Valheim or Unity tweaks on YT; they say that there are some lines to change in the .ini files, but I can't warrant the result.

No i'm not talking about motion blur. I'm talking about when the game attempts to create a scene and its so heavy on your cpu / gpu that it creates a stutter or a micro stutter. I"m getting 70 fps.

My assumption atleast, is since nothing in the world is populated until you start running around and it starts loading in animals and monsters, perhaps that is was occasionally creates the stutter? Although I have a SSD so loading shouldn't be a issue.
