Stuttering Fix!

[Ciggavelli]

This was taken directly from the ubi forms and it worked for me. I'm all at ultra with very little stutter now (it's just minor at this point so much better than before)

But i just read that it disables mipmaps. :cry:

Maybe it's not worth it afterall

From the forum:


You have different resolution sizes for a single texture. Up close you have the highest and far away the lowest.

With mipmaps ON, the game automatically generates a number of textures between those stages, so that the transition is smooth. With mipmaps OFF the textures will "pop-in" as you move closer, since there's no interpolation.

Obviously this saves a lot of texture memory, and probably there's something buggy in the game code that makes the creation of mipmaps lag everything.

so it's a mipmap problem.....hmmmmmm.

Hopefully they'll fix it

It's not minimap (I made that error too). It's mipmap (a process to smooth texture pop-in).

The fixed worked great for me, but the pop-in was too noticeable. I'm waiting on a real fix. I reverted back to the old settings

Confirmed as this works for me on a GTX 970 on Ultra. Pop in is more noticable but i can deal with it until Ubisoft gets to work on a patch. Getting mostly a 50-60 fps experience now with little to no stutter.

all you have to do is put your texture settings down to medium. its a glitch with high / ultra texture settings causing stuttering.

Nah, low and medium do the exact same thing. For me at least. It's like hitching on top of stuttering.

CAN CONFIRM that this fixed my stuttering on AMD 270x OC. I previously had to put my textures down to medium to get the game playable. After this change, I cranked my settings back up and have no noticable stutter. As mentioned above, you can observe some texture pop in, but that is AOK for me until they get this patched and corrected.
