This is a performance review NOT GAMEPLAY REVIEW.

As of launch:

  • Lacking many graphics options
  • Terible FPS on very high end PCs
  • Giant FPS drops all the time in open world
  • Terrible FPS during many cut scenes (I go down to 15 at some points)
  • Crashes
  • *NEW* Borderless-Window Mode does not work
  • Mouse acceleration (Not able to turn this off)
  • Mouse is very laggy on menus (Its a mix of FPS problems and Mouse Acceleration)
  • Game freezes alot at random in open world
  • Sound cuts out somtimes (happens during interaction or walking into a building)
  • Interacting with NPCs bugs out (Somtimes the animations twitch around)
  • Poor texture rendering (Textures pop infront of you)
  • Item rendering poping (You can see chairs pop infront of you and other props)
  • NPCs face won't render right "I have not had this but some people are having it"
Coop also does not work.
-Launching the game with fraps will have you in offline mode. This has been a problem with most Uplay games.

NEW* SLI is now broken with the latest patch. When you are using sli most water and other textures constantly flicker.

  • Settings That the Game has:
  • Vsync (Only has on/off)
  • Refresh Rate (Mine goes up to 144hz)
  • Resolution
  • Enviorment Quality
  • Texture Quality
  • Shadow Quality
  • Ambient Occlusion
  • Anti-Aliasing Auality (FXAA, MSAA 2x-8x, TXAA)
  • Bloom
(This is lacking many settings needed for PC)

If you are having problems that are not listed please comment letting me know, I try to reply to all of them.



Note as I have stated MANY TIMES: This game should not need this much GPU power to run it. It is a bad port. Stop saying "You need to upgrade" I don't.

Also I am now able to run the game at 45-60, I have Overclocked my GPU now.

BTW Turn off AA, giant performance problems from it.

Also my specs:
GTX 780
16 gigs ram
i7-4790k CPU overclocked

@darkSim, What FPS are you getting? What setting do you have on the game? What GPU do you have? On SLI the game bugs out on sore of the enviorment.

The game does not run great, the game has no reason to run how it does. The game is poorly optimzed on ALL platforms Nvidia GPU, AMD GPU, Xbox one, PS4.

Broken still

DarkSim, I have played the game with every setting. I have the game down to low with no AA and I can't keep 40 FPS. This is not my problem this is there problem. Also why should I have to play on all low? I have a PC that runs most games on high 60-144 fps.

Next time don't try making me look like a idot, you just made a fool of yourself.

Its unplayable on a GTX580 even on lowest settings. Getting same 20-25FPS on very high and low settings, no difference.
