{{ii}} Using a Vulkan translating layer, in combination with the Ubisoft Launcher overlay, will result in a messaging showing up in the right-hand corner saying "Warning: You are running an unsupported video driver, please update your driver for optimal performance". This is merely aesthetic and can be closed, by opening the overlay (SHIFT+F2) and closing it by pressing the pop-up the "X" (eXit button) on it. It will show up each time you boot the game, so the process needs to be repeated.
 +
{{++}} Running the benchmark tool a few times, right after installing [[DXVK]], may help with compiling game shaders and making the experience smoother right from the start.

 +
# Disable SLI at the system level, even if it's disabled on the game's profile. The game tries to use it which severely hits the performance.
 +
# Make sure the card for PhysX is the same card that's rendering the game (GPU #1).
 +
* DO NOT dedicate the second card to PhysX.
 +
* DO NOT use the second card or the CPU for PhysX.
 +
* Both of these will either cause massive performance hits, FPS drops, or stuttering.
 +
 +
If you've done both of the above and still have 5-7 FPS make sure to disable these overlays (in this order, depending on what you have installed):
 +
# RivaTuner Statistics Server (makes FPS go down to 5-7)
 +
# Discord overlay (may crash the game on certain hardware)
 +
# Twitch overlay (same as Discord)
 +
# UPlay overlay (stupid I know... but it crashes or causes performance hits in some of Ubisoft's own games...)
 +
# Steam overlay (if disabling all of the above doesn't work)
 +
 +
If you still need a boost in performance, set process priority to High in the task manager.

Issues fixed

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 ACOrigins.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[3]
  1. Copy the <path-to-game> folder over to a new appropriate location on a non-Storage Spaces drive.
  2. When the game folder have been copied over completely, open Uplay and select the game.
  3. Click on Properties and then on Uninstall to remove the existing game install folder.
  4. After the uninstall have been completed, click on Locate installed game below the Download button.
  5. Browse to and select the new <path-to-game> folder, then click on OK.
  6. The game will be playable again after Uplay have verified that all game files are present.

High CPU usage and stuttering on 2C/4T

Set frame rate limit[citation needed]

Option can be found in game settings. Sometimes also helps (when both clients are running) going into offline mode on Steam and Uplay, then launching the game.

Disable "Control Flow Guard" in Windows Defender[4]

Use this instruction and choose executable. Don't turn off CFG globally - it's a major security breach.

If you use another AV software, then you would naturally assume everything Defender related is disabled, and you would be wrong. If you use Defender, you will be brought to the Windows Defender Security Center straight away, but if you don't, you will end up on a Settings page saying that Windows Defender is not available because it's turned off. Click "Turn on Windows Defender Antivirus" - don't worry, your AV software will disable it again straight away.
Use InSpectre
May lower stuttering and FPS issues on configurations with low RAM and weak CPU.[5]
Restart needed after changes.
Your system will be vulnerable for Spectre and Meltdown.
Install the game on SSD (for stuttering)[6]

Random Freezing for a few seconds

The game freezes randomly for a few seconds until resuming on NVIDIA GeForce cards
This is a Nvidia Driver bug in driver versions 451.48 and 451.67 that was fixed in version 452.06.[7]

Upgrade to Nvidia driver version 452.06 or later.

Graphics quality decrease since 1.04/1.05 patch

Downgrade to 1.03 patch[citation needed]

See here for instruction.

Works only for Uplay version.
Incompatible with all DLC released after patch 1.03.
Causes problems with invisible saves for some users.
Since 1.04 patch introduces some optimizations for 4 core CPUs, it may decrease the performance on such units.

Poor performance on AMD FX CPUs

Disable the Cool and Quiet feature in BIOS settings and set the Power Plan to High Performance[citation needed]

Players who are using AMD FX Series processors may experience FPS drops and freezes, especially with the FX-8350 model. Please note that a good cooling solution is also recommended in order to avoid overheating issues, should you implement this workaround.

Poor performance and stuttering on AMD GPUs

Very low fps and stuttering on modern amd gpus on every level of detail settings

Either use different (older) driver version or use DXVK.

Stuttering on high end configurations with 60 FPS and more

Set borderless window in options and turn off antialiasing[citation needed]
Use DXVK to potentially improve frametimes/framerate, especially on Radeon cards (tested on RX 5700 and Vega 64)

Copy/paste the x64 d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll into <path-to-game>.

Significant performance differences have been reported. Results with a Vega 64

Using a Vulkan translating layer, in combination with the Ubisoft Launcher overlay, will result in a messaging showing up in the right-hand corner saying "Warning: You are running an unsupported video driver, please update your driver for optimal performance". This is merely aesthetic and can be closed, by opening the overlay (SHIFT+F2) and closing it by pressing the pop-up the "X" (eXit button) on it. It will show up each time you boot the game, so the process needs to be repeated.
Running the benchmark tool a few times, right after installing DXVK, may help with compiling game shaders and making the experience smoother right from the start.

Very low FPS on SLI configurations

Instruction[8]
  1. Disable SLI at the system level, even if it's disabled on the game's profile. The game tries to use it which severely hits the performance.
  2. Make sure the card for PhysX is the same card that's rendering the game (GPU #1).
  • DO NOT dedicate the second card to PhysX.
  • DO NOT use the second card or the CPU for PhysX.
  • Both of these will either cause massive performance hits, FPS drops, or stuttering.

If you've done both of the above and still have 5-7 FPS make sure to disable these overlays (in this order, depending on what you have installed):

  1. RivaTuner Statistics Server (makes FPS go down to 5-7)
  2. Discord overlay (may crash the game on certain hardware)
  3. Twitch overlay (same as Discord)
  4. UPlay overlay (stupid I know... but it crashes or causes performance hits in some of Ubisoft's own games...)
  5. Steam overlay (if disabling all of the above doesn't work)

If you still need a boost in performance, set process priority to High in the task manager.

Stuttering in populated areas

Enable V-Sync and set FPS cap to 60 (latter only on high refresh rate displays)[citation needed]
Set 45 FPS cap ingame (no V-Sync needed)[citation needed]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/582160/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (582160) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
