   My system can't handle the memory load from this tweak but I did find this which seems to help with the explosion and spawn stutters..
   
   How to Disable Control Flow Guard for The Ascent
   Click on the Windows Start Menu and search for Exploit Protection
   Click on the Program Settings tab
   Click + Add Program to Customize
   Select Exact File Path
   Navigate to \steamapps\common\The Ascent\TheAscent\Binaries\Win64\ and select TheAscent-Win64-Shipping.exe
   In the window that appears scroll down to Control Flow Guard
   Check in Override System Settings, turn the setting off, then click Apply.
   These are the settings that worked for me! I hope you can find that it helps you too and can start to enjoy this amazing game without the stutter!

   Cool, was wondering why the game was weirdly stuttering but otherwise running like butter.

   Sadly, Steam version here, this does nothing for me.
   
   My NVIDIA Desktop (3080 / 5900X) plays with minor stutter. Quite enjoyable.
   
   My AMD Laptop (6800M / 5900HX), stutters and even freezes at times with sub-par performance overall. So strange. It absolutely decimates many games, and I was only trying for 60 on it.
