Key points
- The game is heavily unoptimized due to limited multi-core utilization (only using up to 2 physical cores and no hyper-threading) and poor LOD (level of detail) management on Unreal Engine 2.5, making it impossible to achieve a constant 60+ fps throughout the entire campaign even on modern PC configurations.
- This however can be somewhat fixed to an extent using these two fixes: Low FPS fix & Tired of rollercoaster FPS? Conviction fans. Look here!
- The frame rate is capped at 30 FPS in co-op mode, but there's a possible fix. See High frame rate.
- The Ubisoft Connect version contains the Third Echelon Map for Deniable Ops & the SPAS-12 Shotgun both of which are not included in the Steam version.
