Issues after patch 1.0.2

[Rzer]

The game was working perfectly before the patch, frametime graph was a straight line. Ever since updating the game, there's extreme stuttering and fps spikes.

Other than that, my dualsense controller is no longer working in-game.

Sepcs: i5 12400f, rx 6800xt.

I too have noticed stutters since the update where there were none before. It’s annoying to say the least.

my xbox controller is not working either

And still have the sound issue, ACShadows.ini still bugged...

The stuttering and FPS spikes haven't been an issue for me, but the hideout is all messed up. You get a few minutes to place your building down, and then it crashes and resets your progression. So, beware when customizing your hideout.

I'm reading about stuttering and fps spikes on multiple posts, and have seen the controller issue on some as well. The fact that the game was being praised for having a pretty decent performance at launch (which it did) and to this stutter mess after a patch is pretty disappointing.

I'm unable to use my dualsense controller today as well. I was yesterday, even after installing the patch. Not sure what might have changed. Anyone have any luck?

I am having the same issue. It was flaky yesterday, but after rebooting several times, it worked, Today, nothing works, I can login and start the game with my controller, but once in, nothing. I have made sure my firmware was up[dated and tried everything i know.

So sad that a game plagued by controversy cant even support the people wanting to give it a fair shot.

My controller is mostly working other than there is a huge input lag so I get hit almost every time before I can block or dodge so might as well not be working. Hopefully they can can fix whatever they did because it's unplayable if you cant dodge or block.

For those whose controller stopped working. It seems like 1.0.2 must have changed my settings. In the gameplay tab of settings there is an 'input mode' which for me was changed to 'keyboard & mouse'.

Setting it to 'Hybrid' fixed my issue

The stutter is pretty annoying , please Ubisoft give us the prepatch performance back !!!

Thanks to the comment above, controller works, need to set it back to hybrid, which got set back to default k/m after updating the game, weird.

Regarding the stuttering issue, traversal stutters are obvious, they weren't in the previous patch. I'm noticing another thing, using any upscaler(with DRS) introduces spikes in my frametime graph, setting it to Native TAA removes those spikes, graph goes to a near horizontal with the exception of those traversal stutters. Maybe DRS is causing those spikes, that I can't be 100% sure of.

Same, before update never have any problem with max set, now laggy and soap. This patch is trash!! Stupid Ubi delete patch and reset the Shadows back, before patch. Noob, kids programmers..........

[✠Lavinia Falcone✠]

Please Ubisoft reset game to before patch, and never make any patches again for games. It's like in the start game was work good programmers, but for patch 1.0,2 Ubi give work noob programmers, who just learning how to work. That so sad story, i was playing from start happy, till 1.0.2. I have all AC products from AC1 till Shadows. But seems now i need stop buying Ubisoft products!! So sad

Hello ✠Lavinia Falcone✠ and Rzer! I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues after the recent update. It is impossible to reset the game to before the patch. If you are experiencing stutters and blurry textures, I recommend trying to disable Dynamic Resolution Scaling and then check if there are any differences.

Additionally, you can delete the config file ACShadows.ini from the folder Documents\Assassin's Creed Shadows\ and let the game automatically set the settings. Please let us know the results.
