Key points
- Includes a built-in benchmark and automatically captures performance metrics for the last 30 seconds of gameplay.
- Disabling MFAA in Nvidia Control Panel it is crucial, no matter how powerfull your PC is, this improves performance A LOT. It is enabled by default in NVC but in this game its also enabled in the game engine itself, making the game unstable and tanking performance if its "ON" in NVCP. If your PC is cappable of running high-end graphic games with high frames but AC:Odyssey runs bad, this is why.

Issues unresolved
Poor framerate and visual quality on Nvidia GPUs
- MFAA can cause serious framerate and visual quality issues on Nvidia GPUs.
Disable MFAA[5][6] |
---|
Issues fixed
Game fails to launch if installed on a Storage Spaces drive
- The game will fail to launch if installed on a Storage Spaces drive. This will either cause the
ACOdyssey.exe
process to get stuck on the splash screen or in the background. - Storage Spaces is Microsoft's new software-based RAID solution for Windows 10, allowing users to create and make use of virtual disk drive(s) that spans across multiple physical drives in a desired RAID configuration.
Move the installation folder to a regular non-Storage Spaces drive[7] |

|
Stuttering issues on Windows 10 v1703 or newer
- On some systems running Windows 10 version 1703 or newer, the game can experience constant stutters even when the in-game metrics report a stable framerate.
- Check also resources management tune-up by Special K below.
Configure a task for automatic periodic clearing of the standby memory[8] |

Disable Fullscreen optimizations[9] |

Very low FPS on SLI configurations
Instruction[10] |

If the problem persists, disable these overlays (in this order, depending on what you have installed):

(Nvidia) Random Freezing for a few seconds
- This is a known driver issue in versions 451.48 and 451.67.[11]

- A 64-bit operating system is required.
- Minimum targets 720p at Low graphical preset; recommended targets 1080p (or 2160p for 4K) at High graphical preset.
