I am beyond over this game....

[SpecBBBBB]

Got the game the day it came out... Upon playing, it was great for the first hour, then everything went south.... I turned the game off for dinner, came back, and everything was SUPER laggy. I have a high spec I9 paired with a 3090 along with 32gb of ram. I watched upwards of 10 videos to see others feedback, readjusted both my in game, steam, and system settings, but nothing worked. I eventually made a post here in the discussion section, to which told me I'm SOL. I said screw it, I'll wait till the next update. Update is finally here, and now when the game opens, it opens a black screen. This will be my last attempt to try and fix this before I go ballistic. Any feedback would be greatly appreciate before i throw my computer out my window :)

Don't throw your pc out of the window, send it to me instead.

Things that worked for me :

- Turning off steam overlay
- updating nvidia driver -> verify game files after this
- tweak a few settings, like fog (to medium)

Turn off RTX, solved my issues. I am on a 3070ti.

Yes, I have specs similar to yours and with RTX and a few other things set down a little I can get decent frame rates and no other issues.

Often I can get over 100 fps.

After posting this I readjusted some settings and dialed everything down to low. 25 frames on ultra, 35 on high, 45 on medium, and up to 60 on low. I shouldn't have to turn everything off + adjust settings to low to have a stable game.

I have a 2080Ti, 32GB RAM and Ryzen 9 3900X, so my PC is significantly less powerful than yours. I also played on 2560x1440.

I had everything on Ultra exept View Distance set on Medium, 60 FPS most of the time with the occasional drops inside the castle.

I suggest you check the following:

1. Make sure you have the latest driver for your GPU. Download it from the official Nvidia website, there is a page for this there.

2. Make sure you have Gaming Mode enabled in windows.

3. Make sure that you enable DLSS in the display options. I had it enabled too on Quality preset. This will improve performance by a lot without losing quality. Since you have a NVIDIA card you can use it.

4. Disable ray tracing. It's unoptimized as hell, and will make the game a lagfest. Also the difference it makes is not worth it. As usual, ray tracing is a gimmick. I tried it as well. Too much performance loss compared to modest graphical improvement.

5. Make sure that your steam games folder where you install your games is excluded from the virus scans of any antivirus application on your PC. Like Avast, AVG, whatever you have. All antivirus have options to exclude folders: exclude the steam one with games so in this way the antivirus won't scan them as this may slow the games down if it happens while you're playing. You can't get viruses from steam anyway, so you don't need it on that folder.

Yeah ♥♥♥♥ this game. I've tried running the game about 50 times now (hours worth of loading screens) and the game has only booted with a 60+ framerate TWO TIMES!!!!!!! What in the ♥♥♥♥ is going on?!?!?! There's no rhyme or reason to it whatsoever, I've tried all the mods, unistall/reinstall, update all drivers, I've tried everything to make this game run smoothly. I have a high end PC, all other games are butter smooth in 4K, this is so unsurprising...

I can't tell you how glad I am that I stopped paying for these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ games years ago, THIS IS THE EXACT REASON FOR THAT!!!

[pcuser2113]

Oh wow make that THREE TIMES!!! And if history repeats itself then the second I turn this game off it'll revert back to 25 fps.

TRY THIS:
turn on this setting in windows Graphics settings - "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling"
try cycling this setting if it's already ON (turn to off, restart computer, turn back to on, restart computer), this has made the game work properly for me twice now for whatever reason. Nothing else has worked for me.

I really don't get all the complaints about lag for this game. I've only had lag issues in cutscenes, and I've never tweaked any of the settings aside from the contrast.

Check it out on Youtube. There are so many PC players experiencing the same thing. I'm still experiencing these issues but I've gotten to the point I've settled with playing on low quality :((( better then nothing I suppose..

I've just come to the realization that this is just an extremely intricate reskin of the first Assassins creed.

Normally I would say goto Nexusmods and use Ascendio II.I, but it looks like the update broke his mod when it comes to texture loading. I think you can still use it to remove fog from the game, and make changes to the engine.ini file for you, just don't use any settings that affect the textures.

wait for Denuvo to be removed. no patch will fix this, no community solution (mod) is going to help you. Denuvo is impacting this games performance they should remove it so players can enjoy the game.
