Unfortunately switching to solo does not appear to be a solution here.
Game unplayable both OPEN and SOLO, Frontier please fix your game!

Hmm. I could've sworn I played in Solo before which removed those issues. Need to test this next time I log in.
The best thing in open play mode is meeting other players, especially meeting folks from this forum. Best thing is feeling that the game is alive, feeling that we all are very busy in Teveri . I don't want to switch to solo. I can stand long loading time between the jumps, I can stand stuttering from time to time, I can stand framerate loss. But this ugly rubber banding just killing my feelings and joy of gameplay 
Perhaps server related problems on FD side? I am always solo, xbox one, yesterday I had a message that there was a problem with retrieving cmdr's data, and to come back in a few minutes, if problem continues, to file a support ticket.
I paused for 30 minutes, came back and it worked since.... but well.... As for Sensei Pitchfork Sorry to hear that, hope fully they sort it soon!

It's possible that such an option exists. Maybe @Morbad can help.
Don't "worry" as I said above switching to SOLO doesn't solve the issue.The best thing in open play mode is meeting other players, especially meeting folks from this forum.

Yesterday I tested the game in SOLO only and I had exactly the same problems:
- NPC travelling zig-zag
- long loading times in witchspace and transitioning from supercruise to normal space
- freezing and stuttering (covas and announcement audio too)
I did. And the reason I said that was because of the heading of this thread is over the top. My game plays okay, so the game is not unplayable for everyone. It may not work on a subset of peoples computers, but its not universally broken.
I noticed last night when I went out exploring that over time the game became more and more stuttery, to the point where I finally exited. I wonder if there is a memory leak? My laptop has 16 GB, what about you Sensei?
I also went ahead and turned off virtual memory. Usually I do this first thing on a new system, but forgot to do so on this laptop. The stuttering I experienced last night (not just in cockpit, but also system map, FSS, etc) felt similar to swap file thrashing of old. Me personally, I'd rather the program crash with "out of memory" than to have my SSD worn out by excessive swapping.

Winters here are cold, so the climate is not universally broken, either. Phew, I guess the oil companies and coal-burning power plants are off the hook!
That's a little false equivalence - if your house is burning and you blame climate change, you're pretty well missing the scorched microwave that started the fire.
The fact that it runs perfectly well for me and many others means that there is a specific variable causing the issue. The game is a common factor but not the universal source of disruption.
It could be a specific hardware, configuration, port, or an ISP issue. I had to call my ISP to get GTA V to work on my Xbox years ago, because of a specific port or somesuch. Blanket "it's the game" blame does nothing to identify the issue and is just unproductive.
Blanket "it's your computer" blame also does nothing to identify the issue and is just as unproductive.
Now I will agree (and you'll see that my many posts in this thread reflect this) that finding out how Frontier broke this latest update for x number of people can be helpful, as hopefully this will give Frontier more data to find and fix the bug. Specifically, what is it about so many computers suffering from zig-zag rubberbanding and stutter that makes them different from the "I ain't got no bugs" crowd. I've already played with a variety of settings and OS configurations to this end. Still, the game is borked, of this I have no doubt at all.
If it were a memory leak, you could see it yourself from ram usage.

I did not say that, so let's make this the last time you so grossly misrepresent my own post right back to my face, shall we?
"if your house is burning and you blame climate change, you're pretty well missing the scorched microwave that started the fire."
Sounds like
And hopefully somebody important, too.
Sounds like you're more eager to lay blame than find the cause.
If it was the game it would be everyone. It's not. Apply a little problem-solving. You can either find the common factors between those affected, or continue to uselessly frown into the forums.
I tell you what, when you fix Sensei's computer for him and rid the game of rubber-banding and stuttering and the other bugs he's complaining about, then I'll post a gif of somebody eating their hat. But I won't be holding my breath in the meantime. Hopefully Frontier will DO THEIR JOB and fix this bug (yes it is a bug), but I'm not holding my breath for that, either.
Don't worry Sensei, we're in this together!
Ok so you can go and play the game. Enjoy!
Same here, in the CG is starts fine but after few minutes it starts stuttering and it gets worse and worse.
I also have 16 GB. I checked the ram usage (it was one of the first thing I checked) but even if all computer was slow there was no peak in the hardware performance.
