Massive frame drops
After benchmarking and playing for about 30 mins the game will drop to 5-10 fps for no reason and needs to be restarted.

Has anyone found any fixes or reasons for this? This is a similar bug from Far Cry 5

Yeah that's stopped it from dropping and I can't tell the difference anyway. Thank you!

A veiled barb at valve. it kinda amuses me with these little snipes from some smug EGS consumer or in this case someone who brought it on uplay literally going out of their way to comment on this title after all this time and why ....because after two years its valve that actually provided you a forum for any form of opinion or comment within a community for FC6.

Eh I don't give a damn, am more amused than anything.

I did all this and even tried to direct all the RAM memory to this task and even so, when I access the menu to call a horse or the inventory to customize a weapon, the FPS drops to 5-8 and does not come back. Only when I restart the game! Being that when the game is normal it runs with everything in ULTRA and HD textures at 75 FPS!

yep I get this too, 15 - 25fps as soon as I past the Blue Trail tutorial on the beach, its also when the map activates to see the whole world, it was smooth 60 - 70 for me until I got to this

I want the HD Textures so I will wait for a fix to continue playing

Ran fine for me with the exception of cut scenes. Benefits with playing in 1440 P seem negligible for the 47 odd GB it takes up on the drive is debatable though. Am tempted to just delete all the HD files but the thought of an update forcing me to require the whole lot in addition to the 20gb of superfluous language files and the 32gb of DLC I did not pay for or want but UBI installed anyway and have since deleted would just amount to 99 odd GB extra unnecessary writes on my SDD and more time wasted in downloads so will just live with it and hope like hell ubi doesn't update anything before i finish and cull from my drives.

Is a truly lazy and clearly no ♥♥♥♥♥ given release by ubisoft when over half the games size are optional files that could have been decided in the games installation.

You were almost surely running out of VRAM, or RAM with the HD textures enabled, likely VRAM.

The fix is having more VRAM. It's not something that's going to be updated or changed. HD textures use more VRAM.

Seems to be this, I have 6 gig of VRAM on my 1660 and the benchmark tool thing says I am within limits - but this bug only happens with HD textures turned on

Not a huge loss, but dangit what is the point in benchmarks that don't actually benchmark?

it's not a good game

I didn't update that post, I actually found out its not the HD Textures, it only happens torward the end of specific missions (first time it happened after doing the blue trail and then a cut scene, the second time it happened was during the workbench tutorial and this is where I stopped so far) But when I am freeroam the map I can play for hours with no slowdown, so this isn't a HD texture / VRAM issue its a mission and cut scene specific issue, the FC6 settings I run says I am only using 6GB of my 8GB of VRAM for further proof its not a VRAM issue
