Out of ideas, please help!

I've searched forums, youtube, and have applied multiple methods to increase my framerate, and to be honest, my framerate is GREAT.

I'm having an issue here that I cannot really describe well....but I'll try.

I last noticed it with a Battleye message, it was a message stating that 15k people were banned in June blah blah blah, but ever since then I have a weird glitch/lag. I'll take a few steps and my entire world pauses for a second, fine again, few steps, pauses. Over and over. I've updated everything, including Battleye, but I'm still having this weird stutter-step while I'm in game. My friends outpace me with the same gear due to the stutter-step so I thought it was latency, but I don't appear to be lagging to people I play with.

The entire world freezes, zombies pause and move/teleport to where they should be in a mid run, so it makes shooting hard to say the least. So I'm at a loss for what to do. My settings are all low, the intensive stuff is all disabled.

Should I just try a reinstall? I know it's silly to fret over items in Day Z but I'm kinda decked out at the moment hahaha will reinstalling make me lose all my stuff?

If it'll fix me I don't care I'll do that in a heartbeat, I just don't want to do it on a doubt.

Thanks all for your time, I hope someone has the answer!

You won't lose any gear by reinstalling the game, it's all server side.
