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] |
---|
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] |
---|
Very low FPS on SLI configurations
Instruction[7] |
---|
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. |
