Game completely freezes (except sometimes? the mouse) every few seconds

eemiv

Since at least yesterday, every few moments the game completely freezes for a second before "fast-forwarding" to catch up. You can see it occur twice in this video. And here is a more eggregious example. Unlike the rubberbanding of old, where my character would wind up where back in time, after this freeze it seems like the game is still processing and honoring my inputs, but just fell asleep for a second and is hurrying to catchup. I deleted my Tribble install to free up disk space (SDD was down to 10GB), and my Windows 10 laptop that I've played on for two years hasn't had any changes to its setup since the game last ran smoothly this weekend. Any ideas?
