Issues fixed
Performance issues on AMD GPUs
- AMD graphic cards users are strongly recommended to use the latest Catalyst Beta drivers.
Frosting effect on AMD GPUs
- Disable the MSAA anti-aliasing if you also have motion blur enabled.
Minimap icons and fine-aim reticle disappear
- This issue has been reported fixed by several users after changing resolutions and restarting the game. However, it does not seem to be a consistent fix; many restarts and changes may be needed.
Voice audio not playing during cutscenes
- Go into whichever audio manager you have, turn off 7.1 surround, and restart the game.
Low audio volume
- Some players reporting low audio volume.[1]
Uplay struggling to connect and multiplayer connection being unstable
- Some users report having to attempt to connect to Uplay several times before successfully logging in, followed by an unstable multiplayer connection. To fix this, disable all network adapters other than the one currently in use (found in Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network Connections)[2]
