In-game stuttering, freezing issues
- When using VSync,the game places most of its processing load on the first CPU core only(typically 99%) which may cause stuttering and occasional framerate dips on some systems while traversing through the map[9]
This affinity fix also fixes the same issue with AC2, ACR and AC3 when using VSync.
Making affinity changes permanent (setting affinity in task manager only lasts until you exit the game):
- Edit your preferred shortcut for launching the game (desktop and/or start menu)
- In the target field, set the following (just put the default contents in double quotes and prepend cmd.exe /C ...):
- For a 4/4 (core/thread) CPU
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity e "<path-to-game>\ACBSP.exe"
- For a 4/8 and 8/8 (core/thread) CPU
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity fe "<path-to-game>\ACBSP.exe"
- For a 6/6 (core/thread) CPU
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 3e "<path-to-game>\ACBSP.exe"
- For a 6/12 (core/thread) CPU
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 7fe "<path-to-game>\ACBSP.exe"
- For a 8/16 (core/thread) CPU and higher
cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity fffe "<path-to-game>\ACBSP.exe"
Verify correct affinity by launching the game and checking affinity in task manager (see beginning).
To be used in Steam launch options, to launch the game directly from Steam, it must be a little different:
- Ex. for a 8/16 (core/thread) CPU and higher
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity FFFE "<path-to-game>\ACBSP.exe" %command%
Full speed gallop in Rome
- Horses only gallop at a slower speed in Rome.
Install the game on a SSD and it will automatically enable the full speed gallop on any horse.[10] |
---|
Unable to defend the Villa in "Vilified"
- This mission is impossible to complete on high framerates.
Limit framerate to 60 FPS.[citation needed] |
---|
Enable V-Sync in your graphical options and set refresh rate to 60Hz. |
---|
Camera Shaking and/or Flickering visual effects
- The camera is jerking back and forth and some visual effects are flickering
Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and delete ACBrotherhood.ini,
Navigate to This will reset your graphics settings in game and you'll need to set them again.[citation needed] |
