Audio
Voice audio not playing during cutscenes
- Go into whichever audio manager you have, turn off 7.1 surround, and restart the game.
Uplay struggling to connect and multiplayer connection being unstable
- Some users report having to attempt to connect to Uplay several times before successfully logging in, followed by an unstable multiplayer connection. To fix this, disable all network adapters other than the one currently in use (found in Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network Connections)[1]
Performance issues on AMD and Nvidia GPUs
- Doing such will not fix the current struttering issues, the framerate gain from the latest drivers is relatively minor.
