Issues fixed

Controls unresponsive while flying or cutscenes not ending properly
Enable V-Sync in your graphical options and set refresh rate to 60Hz.[2] |

In-game stuttering, freezing issues
- The game will not use CPU cores and threads properly on certain modern systems.
Each time you launch the game, change the core affinity for ACBSP.exe. First select 1 core and confirm and directly after it select all cores and confirm again. [3] |
---|
- When using VSync, excessive single core use is evident (typically 99%) with any Quad Core CPU and above. Removing the first core of your cpu availability manually using the Task Manager affinity or alternatively using utility Process Lasso to automatically remove CPU 0 access from the ACB executable resolves this.
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%
White gradient overlay
Remove white gradient overlay[citation needed] |

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.[4] |

Unable to defend the Villa in "Vilified"
- This mission is impossible to complete on high framerates.
Limit framerate to 60 FPS.[citation needed] |
