Issues fixed
Random Freezing during driving
- Because the game is very demanding on the CPU (100% CPU usage) causing freeze on dual-core systems.
Limit the game FPS to either 55, 45 or similar values[8] |
---|
Random Freezing for a few seconds
- The game freezes randomly for a few seconds until resuming on NVIDIA GeForce cards
This is a Nvidia Driver bug in driver versions 451.48 and 451.67 (newest one at time of writing). Either downgrade to driver version 446.14 or upgrade to GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 451.85 or later, once available[9] |
---|
Black bars during cutscenes or squished image
- Game incorrectly renders at 4096x2160 (17:9) resolution, resulting in display oddities.
Remove all references to the 4096x2160 resolution[10][11] |
---|
|
Game won't work with DualShock 4 v2 Controller
- The game has native support for DS4 controllers on PC with it loading the PlayStation button prompts in-game, but only on connecting the DualShock 4 version 1 model. On connecting a version 2 controller, the game will load the Xbox button prompts and buttons are mapped incorrectly.
Emulating a DualShock 4 v1 with DS4Windows allows for full operation with a DS4 v2. Follow this guide on Steam. The guide is for Assassin's Creed Unity, but it also works for Assassin's Creed Syndicate. |

|
London Drift perk doesn't count drifts in-game
To make the drift count, the game has to be locked at 60 FPS or lower. Any frame rate higher than that won't count any drift made in-game.[citation needed]
