Yeah they said in a recent interview that on internal tests they have pretty much eliminated the hitching entirely. They are going to be patching in the near future in an optimization patch to fix it.

Question: dafuzzle asks, "what are your plans for the future in Vanguard?"
Gebron: Well we’ve sort of answered the question from a gameplay standpoint, but I can speak to the technical side of the fence.
Gebron: As you’ve no doubt noticed, we’ve made great strides in improving frame rate in the game, and next we’re tackling hitching.
Gebron: We’re about to start testing code which greatly, and I do mean greatly, reduces hitching in the game. We’re not done with it, and we’re excited enough about the result that we may be releasing it in phases rather than make you wait…
Gebron: the inevitable goal is to try and get the game to where it practically never hitches. We’re getting close! The change to how the game feels without hitching is… oh so sweet!

I'm just wondering how much they really still have invested in Vanguard at this point. I wonder what kind of subscriber numbers they have, and how much money they are still putting into the game to keep improving it...
