Issues unresolved
Mouse and keyboard do not work
- Might be related to either Logitech or Steam Controller drivers, as the game improperly detects the input device.[3]
Issues fixed
- You can find various fixes in this Ubisoft Support FAQ
- Ubisoft Community Technical Support
Crash when installed in a Storage Space
- The game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed by a Storage Space on Windows 8 and later.
Creating a junction to the folder "sounddata" to a non-Windows Storage Space drive seems to solve the problem[citation needed]
|
Installing the Game on a drive that is not a Storage Space will fix this issue[citation needed]
|
Game freezes on AMD GPUs
- This issue first manifests upon starting a new file when the game freezes on a black screen with the 'saving' icon.
Avoid using MSAA or EQAA[4]
|
The image freezes but the game still runs in the background
- Sometimes the game might appear to be frozen, but you can still hear the sound and the HUD works.[5]
Enabling "Volumetric Fog" and / or disabling "FXAA" fixes the issue[citation needed]
|
- "Volumetric Fog" may cause artifacts on screen edges in-game, Use Driver AA instead if MSAA is being used.[6]
|
FPS drops to 30 when Vsync is enabled
- This is caused by lack of triple buffering in the game.
Use D3DOverrider to force triple buffering[7]
|
- Don't force VSync in D3DOverrider, only triple buffering. Enable VSync in game options (or force it in Nvidia control panel or Nvidia Inspector).
- If you're using SweetFX or another injector, this fix will not work. Use the workaround below.
|
Use RadeonPro to force triple buffering[citation needed]
|
- Download and install RadeonPro.
- Launch RadeonPro.
- Add a profile pointing to AC4BFSP.exe or AC4BFMP.exe.
- Select the exe profile by clicking on it.
- Go to the tweaks tab leave vsync to driver default and check triple buffering.
Notes
- Tested on Win8.1 with CFX 7970s.[citation needed]
|
Use Ctrl-Alt-Del workaround to force triple buffering[citation needed]
|
- This method has only been tested on Windows 7 SP1 with an Nvidia graphics card and on Windows 10 with an AMD graphics card.
- Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
- Click the cancel button to return to your desktop.
- Go back to the game by clicking its icon on the taskbar.
- Alt+Tab ↹ does NOT work.
- This workaround makes possible the use of SweetFX or other injectors with triple buffering.
|
Nvidia PhysX performance issues
Change process affinity[8]
|
- Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open Task Manager.
- Go to the Details tab.
- Right click
ac4bfsp.exe and select "Set affinity".
- Uncheck the last CPU core and hit OK.
- Go back to the same menu and re-enable it.
- Close Task Manager.
|
Nvidia PhysX on newer GPUs even after the above workaround
This can also be achieved by simply disabling PhysX in the in-game menu.
Nvidia broken PhysX on newer GPUs fix (Windows 7)
Install older PhysX driver
|
- Uninstall any existing instance of PhysX from your computer.
- Install version 9.14 of PhysX. Earlier version are not supported, and later versions are broken. PhysX 9.14.0702

- Laptop graphics cards may work but are not officially supported.
- Dual core processors will, despite the minimum requirements, most likely work.[9] (only LGA1150/LGA1155 dual core processors will, under most circumstances, deliver a playable frame rate - LGA775/LGA1156 and AM2/AM2+/AM3/FM1/FM2 dual core CPUs are unlikely to suffice due to significantly lower IPC)
