Key points
- Includes benchmark and captures performance metrics for the last 30 seconds of gameplay.
- Players may see low performance in cities, even with high-end configuration — especially when using AMD Radeon GPUs. Using DXVK to wrap the Direct3D calls to Vulkan can alleviate the issue, see Stuttering on high end configurations with 60 FPS and more.

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
ACOrigins.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[3] |

|
High CPU usage and stuttering on 2/4t
Set frame rate limit[citation needed] |
---|
Option can be found in game settings. Sometimes also helps (when both clients are running) going into offline mode on Steam and Uplay, then launching the game. |
Disable "Control Flow Guard" in Windows Defender[4] |
---|
Use this instruction and choose executable. Don't turn off CFG globally - it's a major security breach.
|
Use InSpectre |
---|
|
Install the game on SSD (for stuttering)[6] |
---|
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 that was fixed in version 452.06.[7] |
---|
Upgrade to Nvidia driver version 452.06 or later. |
Graphics quality decrease since 1.04/1.05 patch
Downgrade to 1.03 patch[citation needed] |
---|
See here for instruction.
|
Poor performance on AMD FX CPUs
Disable the Cool and Quiet feature in BIOS settings and set the Power Plan to High Performance[citation needed] |
---|
Players who are using AMD FX Series processors may experience FPS drops and freezes, especially with the FX-8350 model. Please note that a good cooling solution is also recommended in order to avoid overheating issues, should you implement this workaround. |
Stuttering on high end configurations with 60 FPS and more
Set borderless window in options and turn off antialiasing[citation needed] |
---|
Use dxvk to dramatically improve frametimes/framerate on all GPUs, especially on Radeon cards (tested on RX 5700 and Vega 64) |
---|
Copy/paste the |
Very low FPS on SLI configurations
Instruction[8] |
---|
If you've done both of the above and still have 5-7 FPS make sure to disable these overlays (in this order, depending on what you have installed):
If you still need a boost in performance, set process priority to High in the task manager. |
