120+ FPS | No frame rate cap;[5] however, frame rates above 130 FPS will prevent the game from fully loading in models and assets that are far away, even if the player reaches them. Most of the interior areas won't be rendered either. Mouse sensitivity is also tied to frame rate and will be reduced the higher the frame rate gets.[citation needed] See Mouse sensitivity for a workaround.[dubious – discuss] | ||

Issues fixed
Mouse sensitivity tied to frame rate
- Mouse sensitivity will be reduced the higher the frame rate gets.
Use Cheat Engine[citation needed] |

Crash after 15 minutes on Windows 10
- May be caused by a weird 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] |
---|
|
Stop TabTip.exe[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
taskkill /f /im "tabtip.exe" cd /d "{{P|game}}\Assassin's Creed Unity" start ACU.exe
|
Game fails to launch if installed on a Storage Spaces drive
- The game will fail to launch if installed on a Storage Spaces drive. This will either cause the
ACU.exe
process to get stuck on the splash screen or in the background. - Storage Spaces is Microsoft's new software-based RAID solution for Windows 10, allowing users to create and make use of virtual disk drive(s) that spans across multiple physical drives in a desired RAID configuration.
Move the installation folder to a regular non-Storage Spaces drive[6] |

Game changes resolution to lowest compatible (ex: 320x200)
Edit configuration file[citation needed] |

Game won't work with DS4 v2 Controller
- The game has native support for DS4 controllers on PC with it loading the PlayStation button prompts in-game, but only on connecting the DualShock 4 version 1 model. On connecting a version 2 controller, the game will load the Xbox button prompts and not work correctly.
Follow this guide on Steam. |

Issues unresolved
Massive pop-in and poor LOD quality, even on highest available graphics settings
- Assassin's Creed Unity is plagued by very noticeable pop-in and poor level of detail at all times. As this appears to be hardcoded, currently and likely forever unfixable.[7]
