100% CPU Usage

[serious swamp ass]

Seriously, is there a fix on this? Even an external fix?
I have a GTX 1070 paired with an i7 7700k, and I can't have high settings one everything to stay above 60 fps. And even when I run on medium settings, I still get dips that cause me to go as low as 3 FPS.

This makes this game terrible to play on mouse and keyboard. The stuttering is so much more noticable with that.

If there are ANY fixes to this issue, what are they?
Thanks for the help, whoever actually decides to help.
I couldn't find anything helpful besides people complaining about it, so I decided to post my own, lmao.

EDIT:
My issue has been fixed! I did what UbiCupcake suggested by "Disabling full screen optimization on ACOrigns.exe. You can do this by finding ACOrigins.exe in the games main directory. Right click .exe and click properties & select compatibility tab. Check the box that says ''disable full screen optimizations'', and making the game a high priority in task manager. I also launched the game and UPlay as a administrator, and I think that contributed as well.

Thanks again for the people that actually tried to help!

That really sucks if that's the case. I didn't know DRM had that much impact on performance.

I read that it's not drm related, but to engine problems

And it's not the 1060 either. I have one aswell paired with a ryzen 5 and I have pretty much 60 fps in the cities. There are some occasions where I had dips too, but that always happened after lile 2h of playing and then my game crashed. The game is awesome, but the performance is so bad :/

I agree. It's my favourite Assassin's Creed gameplay wise.
I hope they release something at some point that fixes it. I guess I'll be stuck to a controller.

Someone posted a possible fix for stuttering atleast. I have not tried it, but you can look for it in the discussions, maybe it helps

Hey everyone,

Sorry to hear that some of you are experiencing stuttering/low fps. I have a few troubleshooting steps to try down below.

1. GPU drivers are up to date. 

2. If you're using Nvidia GPU, try optimizing the game via GeForce Experience. 

3. Disable full screen optimization on ACOrigns.exe. You can do this by finding ACOrigins.exe in the games main directory. Right click .exe and click properties & select compatibility tab. Check the box that says ''disable full screen optimizations''

4. Running Steam, the game and the Uplay client with {LINK REMOVED}administrator rights.

5.Try lowering in game settings, setting it to full screen, and slowly bump up the settings to higher. Test it out and see what runs the best as you raise the quality. Capping your FPS at 60 or perhaps another desired number would help. Also please try turning off both Anti-Aliasing and Dynamic Resolution.

6. Temporarily disable other programs that are running in the background except programs associated with the game.

7. Launching the game and going into task manager to set the game to ''Normal''.

Please let me know if any of the steps resolves your issue. If the problem persists please create a ticket on {LINK REMOVED}Ubisoft Support and attach your {LINK REMOVED}Dxdiag and MSinfo or any screenshots/videos that would help us with investigating further.

wow 30-45 fps *slow clapping*
you are saying it like it's something good to not even match the refresh rate of the monior, weird

1, 2, and 3 are done. I've tried 5 before by setting it down to Medium, and nothing really improved. I still experienced terrible stuttering. I've also done 6, as I only kept UPlay (required), Discord, and Spotify open when I was playing. 7 is something I will look into soon. I will update the thread to see if these actually help.

Thanks for the answer! I was not expecting a response from official support.

Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 6GB. Almost no issues here. CPU never had 100% usage. Almost all the time 60 fps with some rare drops to 45-50 fps. Never had lower FPS

Interesting all the people without bigger problems are ryzen users! Saw this several times now

Ryzen benefits heavily from higher ram speeds and apparently so does Origins.

Going all the way down to 3FPS with 7700k? thats an insane bottleneck first you should be able to do 60fps 1080p on max settings motion blur off, depth of field off, anti alaising low. The lower you put the settings the more strain it is going to put on the CPU thus worsening the problem as a GTX 1070 can easily max this game at 1080p.

Things you should check is make sure hyper threading is enabled.
Make sure your ram is running at its proper frequency (Video below shows just how important ram speed is on this game)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XwcnZzBQaQ

Also most important thing cap FPS @ 60.

I had i7 4790k OC 4.6ghz 1886mhz ddr3 16gb with GTX 1070 combo maintained 60fps avg np. Also my RAM timings are C9 timings are very important as well.

Now I have RTX 2080 and still have i7 4790k. I can easily get a CPU bottleneck by uncapping FPS, but I'm stuck on DDR3 1886mhz you likely have much faster DDR4 ram just make sure XTREME MEMORY PROFILE is on.

It is the game's, or rather ubisoft's fault. It's explained here https://github.com/kaldaien/SpecialK/releases/sk_odyssey this also applies to AC Origins.

One thing i just remembered is what they said about AC Black Flag.. "To quote Assassin's Creed 4's associate producer Sylvain Trottier: "On PC, usually you don't really care about the performance, because the idea is that if it's not [running] fast enough, you buy a bigger GPU."

I already fixed it.
