Performance Problem - Stuttering despite acceptable FPS
A colleague and myself, we're experiencing similar problems, low frame rates.

In my case, I apparently have 30 to 40 FPS (which is abysmally low for such a game) but the game looks more like 10 FPS. I didn't play further than the intro sequence/ tutorial... not fun at this stage xD

Anyone have a fix? Or a hint? Or the same problem?
Thanks in advance...

PS: latest nvidia drivers installed, playing on a i7-6700, 16GB Ram, gtx 1080 ti, win 10

I have the same problem. 13 FPS most of the time. Sometimes at about every 10th start the game runs with me at 40 to 60 FPS. Again and again I have framedrops. I can not play like that. The performance is extremely bad. I hope that there is a patch.

Windows 10, GTX 1080 ti, 32 GB Ram

That is odd, I'm on an i5-7300, 2,50GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 1050 ti on Win 10, and I definately go above 30FPS at all times, likely 60 when not streaming ( playing on high settings in 900p ), and that stuttering never happens, only once or twice per play session for shader caching I assume.

mmh, if more people are experiencing this issue, maybe there will be a fix, soon.

Point is I don't have small FPS with 30 to 40 ... but the game looks like it's running at 10 FPS ...

Game runs great for me. Latest drivers, win 10, 16 gigs ram and 1080ti

I play on 2K Resolution with Vsynch off. I get constent 58 FPS as the game is locked FPS.

Same issue here. The game was running at 60FPS all morning, and now it runs at 10FPS in the exact same map location.

The fix is to run the game with the following: start /affinity 1 oXXL3Game.exe

I am having the same issue since i launch the game. I'm very dissapointed and wondering how to fix it. Also tried run it from comand shell with start /affinity 1 oXXL3Game.exe but it didint help me at all. I recently noticed 2 behavior
1) game is running fluent but every lets say 2 seconds it freezes for a millisecond
2) game is running like 10 FPS all the time..
It's really annoying please help me I really would like to play with fun, not to struggle...

This worked for me:

1. Go to: "SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 - The Crystal Menhir\XXL3Resources"
2. Right click on "EngineSettings" --> click "Edit"
3. Play around with the settings that contain "FPS". I simply set "LowFPS=60" and "MaxFps=200"

Uhm it helps me with point 2) game runs fluent but still i have some microfreezes each single 2 seconds...

Thank you. This one works for me, too. I still have some FPS drops but the game runs much better know. My loading times reduced, also.

Desactive the full screen.

Same issue. First run of the game for 2 hours smooth 50 fps max details.
Second and next runs the next day 10 fps. WTF?
Reducing to single core using affinity parameter improves fps but increases stuttering - microfreezes every second or so, not playable at all.
None of ideas proposed here solved the issue.
