The gain in framerate for the second fix is very significant and sustained as the loss of framerate seems to be related to Uplay synchronisations slowing the game down on slower/firewalled internet connections leading to highly abnormal drops as Uplay sync fails repeatedly. No progression-related in-game features are affected by this fix as no multiplayer is present in the game and Uplay unlocks are added by the Uplay client in a save outside the game.

Issues unresolved

Game does not launch with GeForce Experience installed

Disabled In-Game Overlay/ShadowPlay[citation needed]
  1. Open GeForce Experience.
  2. Click on the Settings icon.
  3. Toggle the IN-GAME OVERLAY off.
  4. Lunch the game.

Notes

The In-Game Overlay/ShadowPlay can not be used in-game.
The In-Game Overlay/ShadowPlay can be reenabled afterward.
If reenabled while the game runs, the game will minimize if the In-Game Overlay/ShadowPlay is opened in-game.
Workaround[5]
  1. Uninstall GeForce Experience.
  2. Install Special K by following the the official wiki.
  3. Start the game and press Ctrl+ Shift+← Backspace to toggle Special K's Control Panel.
  4. Expand Compatibility Settings and Third-Party Software.
  5. Enable Disable GeForce Experience and NVIDIA Shield.
  • GeForce Experience can now be reinstalled.
The game needs to be launched through SKIF every time.

Issues fixed

Crash after 15 minutes on Windows 10

May be caused by a strange interaction between one version of XAudio2_7.dll and the on-screen keyboard service.
Check if this is indeed the cause of the crash with Windows error log[citation needed]
  1. Open the Start menu, type msinfo32, and press Enter.
  2. In Software Environment\Windows Error Reporting look for entries with ac3lhd_32.exe, and check that the faulty module is XAudio2_7.dll.
Stop TabTip process[citation needed]
The TabTip.exe process, also referred to as Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Helper, must be disabled before launching the game. To simplify this process, do the following:
  1. Create the following batch command using your actual installation folder path.
    taskkill /f /im "tabtip.exe"
    cd /d "<path to the game>\Assassin's Creed Liberation"
    start ac3lhd_32.exe
    
  2. Save as a .cmd and launch as an administrator.
  3. To simply this process further, create a shortcut to the .cmd and choose Run as an administrator in the shortcut's advanced options. The game's icon can even be used as the shortcut.

FPS drops from 60 to 30 when Vsync is enabled

Much like in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, this issue is caused by a lack of triple buffering in the game.
Use D3DOverrider to force triple buffering[citation needed]
  • Do not force VSync in D3DOverrider, only triple buffering.
  • Enable VSync in game options (or force it in Nvidia control panel or Nvidia Inspector).
  • Other workarounds for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag can also be used.

Very low framerate even on capable hardware

Disable Anti-Aliasing[6]
Prevent UPlay syncing before and during game execution[6]
On slower or firewall-protected Internet connections, UPlay Sync may fail repeatedly, causing abnormal drops in framerate.
  • Disable Internet connection before launching the game and maintain until exiting the game.
  • To sync UPlay achievements and saves, enable Internet, sync, quit the game, and then repeat disabling the Internet connection for normal play.
No progression-related in-game features are affected by this fix as no multiplayer is present in the game and UPlay unlocks are added by the UPlay client in a save outside the game.
