Issues fixed

Random Freezing during driving

Because the game is very demanding on the CPU (100% CPU usage) causing freeze on dual-core systems.
Limit the game FPS to either 55, 45 or similar values[8]

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 (newest one at time of writing). Either downgrade to driver version 446.14 or upgrade to GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 451.85 or later, once available[9]

Black bars during cutscenes or squished image

Game incorrectly renders at 4096x2160 (17:9) resolution, resulting in display oddities.
Remove all references to the 4096x2160 resolution[10][11]
  1. Download and start CRU.
  2. Make sure the display you want to modify is selected in the top box. If it's connected and in use, it will be marked as (active).
  3. In the Extension blocks box, select the CEA-861 entry and press Edit.
  4. Select the TV resolutions entry and press Edit.
  5. One by one, select all the 4096x2160 entries and press Delete. Press OK when done.
  6. Select the HDMI support entry and press Edit.
  7. Select any 4096x2160 entries and press Delete.
  8. Press OK on all the windows to return to the main application window. Press OK to close.
  9. Run restart64.exe/restart.exe to re-initialize the display driver.

Game won't work with DualShock 4 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 buttons are mapped incorrectly.
Emulating a DualShock 4 v1 with DS4Windows allows for full operation with a DS4 v2. Follow this guide on Steam. The guide is for Assassin's Creed Unity, but it also works for Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
For the Uplay version of the game, do not follow the first step of disabling the Steam Input.

London Drift perk doesn't count drifts in-game

To make the drift count, the game has to be locked at 60 FPS or lower. Any frame rate higher than that won't count any drift made in-game.[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>/368500/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (368500) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
