Lag and stuttering in AC Odyssey

[PARANOIDnl]

hello early this week I thought it would be fun to play AC Odyssey again. But I immediately noticed stuttering and fps drops with the battle of 300. which I thought was strange because I also played this game a year ago on the same PC and the same ingame graphics settings.

Finally I ended up on Kefalonia and noticed the same problem with the Ikaros opening cinematic. but during the fight with the 2 criminals i had little to no problems. when I am walking in the wilderness or at sea I have little to no problems. but if I come near a crowd or a village/city or ride on a horse, I immediately suffer from it again.

I also notice from my fps counter that it sometimes drops to 58 but that feels like 30 fps and I also notice the stuttering and fps drop when I look around me no matter where im at that moment.

My specs are as followed:

Operating System:
Windows 10 64-bit (Latest version)
CPU:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor
RAM:
16 GB (2x 8GB)
Motherboard:
A320M-S2H V2-CF
GPU:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti OC Windforce 6GB


I hope I was able to give some clear information about my problem.

This link isn't helpful at all because it's too typical.

the link didn't help unfortunately.
The low latency setting helped me a bit, especially against stuttering. but the lag is still present in villages, towns and fortresses and sometimes in the wilderness.

If PC was working fine a year ago and you now have worse performance. That is usually a sign something new is running causing an issue or your O/S needs a refresh.

As suggested by Ubisoft. Make sure all non essential programs, services, and tasks are disabled from starting with PC.

How are your temps? Make sure PC is all clean. Check thermals and you may want to reapply paste on CPU/GPU for cooler temps.

I would also recommend you run DDU. This will completely clean out your display driver and remove any issues or conflicts from previous ones. Ensuring a clean install of new driver.

So download latest NVIDIA display driver and DDU [www.wagnardsoft.com]. Disconnect or disable internet connection. Extract DDU. Restart PC in safe mode and run DDU. Once clean reboot in normal mode. Install driver. Once installed successfully reboot PC even if not prompted. There is also a guide in link and tells you what DDU is/does.

Once all that is done enable internet again and run Odyssey to see if it helps.

You can also set Texture Filtering - Quality to Performance in NVIDIA control panel. That will help give a bit of a boost.

If that still doesnt help you may want to reinstall windows. Spare drive if you got it to troubleshoot and test. Make sure to delete the partition on the drive to ensure a clean install.

Sometimes the file structure of O/S just gets bad when a lot of things get installed or removed. It happens and a fresh install of windows usually helps improve things overall.

Just make sure to install all up to date drivers and chipsets when doing so. Do not install anything else and try Odyssey. See if you have better performance.
