AC Valhalla frame drops after 30-40 min or when Fast Travelling

[BN Shadow]

I have been having issues like unstable frame rates when I play for longer than 30 - 40 minutes, as well as after a few fast travels, the frame rates drop by 20-25 fps on certain areas, specifically the Home base at England. Usually only have like 60-70% GPU usage but spikes to 95-100% when playing longer than 40 min or fast travelling to home base. Game returns to normal when restarting the game.

I've been playing on my laptop, temperature is constantly at 65-70 degrees Celsius, which is not a problem with other games. Drivers and OS are updated to the latest version.

Anybody know a quick fix to this?

Laptop specs are

Windows 11
I5-11400H
RTX 3050 Ti

Hey BN Shadow,

Thanks for reaching out, sorry to hear you're experiencing performance issues!

As you're using a laptop - could you please complete the steps in this guide[www.ubisoft.com] to ensure you're using your dedicated GPU rather than any onboard CPU graphics?

Have you also installed the recent NVIDIA driver too?

Good day/night,

I am playing on PC . I have the same issue. Sometimes when I boot-up the game it works flawlessly (80-85% GPU usage Ravensthorpe). But often it loads with abnormally high GPU usage (95-99% Ravensthorpe) that does not go away lest I restart the game a few times.

Note: I am playing ubisoft connect version.
Note #2: It also crashed 22 times during 240+ hours of playtime; which is strange after it worked for 80 hours straight from the start without CTDs.

I have the same problem on a laptop with rtx 3050.
Apparently, the problem is in vram, the game fills up all the memory and the fps decreases. You can play normally only on the lowest settings
