Poorly Optimized?
So this game likes to Drop to 30 FPS when in the cities, but on the sea its fine 60 FPS easy, even when i turn everything off rudes the games setting to the minimum, i still see fps drop of about 10 what the hell is going on with this game?

I'm Running:
Win 10
16GB RAM
i7-6820HK
Nvidia GTX 980M

The game isnt very well optimised, make sure youre not using the stronger anti aliasing which can be very heavy on fps, as long as your game doesnt drop below 30 in dense forest its not too bad

Its 60 at sea, because its mostly empty. The game's main issue is single threaded cpu code. It bottlenecks heavily on foliage heavy islands such as the "home base island" and salt lagoon. I've also seen it drop to 40 or so in dense smoke during ship battles wven with the volumetric fog turned off. My gpu is far above the recommended. No laptop cpu has core speeds fast enough to brute force past it.

So yes, its incredibly poorly optimised. Even worse than 3.

I've even gone so far as to lock it at 30 to maintain a stable constant framerate in all situations. But no, do that and the game starts to stutter heavily. You can't win with it (I can't anyway).

It's very annoying and I don't remember it having this level of poor performance at launch.
