Cutscenes capped at 30FPS in 2026... Really?

Have I bought DLC? No. Do you want to buy DLC? No. Do you want to buy DLC? NO!!! Menus are a cash grab for Assassins Creed Shadows... "Launch Shadows to see stats for item"... SERIOUSLY???

The game itself is beautiful and a well made Remaster of an original legendary game, but modern Ubisoft always find a way to F*** things up. I want a single player experience I can enjoy WITHOUT microtransactions and in menu advertisement for AC Shadows being forced down my throat.

Brilliant remake - AWFUL studio.

*Edit

I have my game averaging 170fps (albeit with DLSS), Ultra high, RT on with resolution at 3440x1440. It was shocking that I found cut scenes capped at 30 fps, but how was I to know that this is a day one bug and that I must not run the game at the highest settings (purely as a workaround)? It's disappointing.

I am enjoying the gameplay as Black Flag is a game I played in my early teenage years. If I hadn't - I'm not sure that I would've continued playing past the first hour.

We are aware that there is an issue where cutscenes on PC are locked to 30 FPS when using Raytracing, BVH or Terrain Quality at Ultra High setting.

We have a fix coming soon, but in the meantime, we've provided a temporary workaround:

Reset the graphics Overall Preset to any pre-configured setting and avoid manually setting Raytracing, BVH or Terrain Quality to the Ultra High setting.

Thanks for your patience!

Regarding DLC:
We've seen your feedback since launch, and we're reading all of it. Thank you for caring this much about Black Flag Resynced. We want to be clear on one point: the standard edition is the full, complete experience. Every mission, every island, the full story and the complete world are all there, with nothing held back. The additional packs are entirely optional extras for players who want them, never a requirement to enjoy or complete the game.
We'll keep listening as you play!

My buddy swore to me that there was something wrong with me when i complained about playing Monster Hunter: World on my xbox one S. I kept telling him it felt like i was playing through sludge. That the game ran slow. He walked out one day and was like, ew dude, wtf is wrong with your game??? MH: World is locked at 30FPS on the xbox one S and 60 on the X. There is a VERY big difference between 30 FPS and 60FPS. Anybody who parrots that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that the human eye can't tell the difference is an idiot.

"Human eye can't see more than 20 fps, you people are craze if you're having issues with 30 fps cut scenes. At this point, you just want to complain about anything. Awful"

The idea that humans can’t perceive more than 20 FPS is a long‑debunked misconception and a myth from the CRT era. Human visual perception isn’t capped like a monitor refresh rate — we can detect differences in motion clarity, latency, and frame pacing well past 60 FPS. Modern studies, high‑refresh displays, and competitive esports all demonstrate that higher framerates produce measurably better reaction times and smoother motion. This isn’t controversial, just outdated info you are harboring from a almost 2-3 decades ago.
