CPU problems
Hi everyone,

My CPU usage sometimes climbs to 100%, causing freezes and getting down my fps to 1 for a few seconds. Without that, I easily get 55 to 60 fps, no matter where I go, growing up at 80 fps in desert.

Is there anyway to fix that? A patch? An alternative?

My specs:
- GeForce GTX 1660, 6GB
- I5-9600KF 3.7Ghz
- 16 GB ram

I already tried to down the graphic configurations, one by one. Whatever I do, it's still here.

Have you recently updated your GPU drivers to 451.48? I've heard that might be causing the issue.

It's normal? What do you mean?

Yes, the version is actually 451.48. How could a GPU update cause heavy CPU usage in AC Origins? I just searched a few moment on forums, and the problem seems to be common to a big players part, since the game was released. I add that everything works fine on any other of my games.

I have the same problem. 1070 and i7 6700. Stable 60 fps but from time to time, freezes (with audio) with cpu spiking to 100%. It's not a very good experience.

Same problem. i5 9600K, RTX 2060, 16GB RAM. Some people say it's the new Nvidia driver that causes it. Anyone with AMD GPU with this issue?

You can use DDU to unistall the last driver. Download an older one and install it. Should solve the problem for now. I don't know if there is another fix.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who's "suffering" from this issue. Is anyone can downgrade his drivers and tell us if the older version fix the problem? Sorry guys, I've not the required knowledge to do this.

I didn't buy the game before installing the last version, so I can't tell if another one would fix that.

I did a rollback and tested for 15 minutes in Alexandria. No stutter so far. I'm using driver 446.14 now.

Ok, good to know. Please tell us if you meet any freeze!

I to have this issue, trying the older driver now.

Intel core i5 9300H, 4GB Geforce 1650/16gb/512gb ssd Asus Rog G Laptop
Regardless of what setting i use, ,weather it's low,medium,high or ultra, or weather v sync is on or not or if i am even limiting FPS To 30,60 with dynamic res off it does not matter my cpu useage is immediatly shot at 100% and this is also driving my Temps through the ROOF (even with cooling pad) despite all that ironically my FPS remains literally the same across the board. I've also noticed GPU useage is pretty much the same, makes no sense. I get Mommentary freezes, aside from that even at the highest settings on 1080p i am doing 40+ Fps sometimes 60 (but i have it limited on increasing further)
