Issues fixed

Crash after 15 minutes on Windows 10

May be caused by a strange interaction between one version of XAudio2_7.dll and the on-screen keyboard service.

Check if this is indeed the cause of the crash with Windows error log^{[citation needed]}
Open the Start menu, type `msinfo32`, and press `↵ Enter`. In `Software Environment\Windows Error Reporting` look for entries with `ac3lhd_32.exe`, and check that the faulty module is `XAudio2_7.dll`.

Stop TabTip process^{[citation needed]}

The TabTip.exe process, also referred to as Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Helper, must be disabled before launching the game. To simplify this process, do the following:

Create the following batch command using your actual installation directory path.

taskkill /f /im "tabtip.exe"
cd /d "<path to the game>\Assassin's Creed Liberation"
start ac3lhd_32.exe

Save as a .cmd and launch as an administrator.
To simply this process further, create a shortcut to the .cmd and choose Run as an administrator in the shortcut's advanced options. The game's icon can even be used as the shortcut.

FPS drops from 60 to 30 when Vsync is enabled

Much like in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, this issue is caused by a lack of triple buffering in the game.

Use D3DOverrider to force triple buffering^{[citation needed]}
Do not force VSync in D3DOverrider, only triple buffering. Enable VSync in game options (or force it in Nvidia control panel or Nvidia Inspector). Other workarounds for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag can also be used.

Very low framerate even on capable hardware

Disable Anti-Aliasing^[3]

Prevent UPlay syncing before and during game execution^[3]

On slower or firewall-protected Internet connections, UPlay Sync may fail repeatedly, causing abnormal drops in framerate.

Disable Internet connection before launching the game and maintain until exiting the game.
To sync UPlay achievements and saves, enable Internet, sync, quit the game, and then repeat disabling the Internet connection for normal play.

No progression-related in-game features are affected by this fix as no multiplayer is present in the game and UPlay unlocks are added by the UPlay client in a save outside the game.

-The gain in framerate for the second fix is very significant and sustained as the loss of framerate seems to be related to Uplay synchronisations slowing the game down on slower/firewalled internet connections leading to highly abnormal drops as Uplay sync fails repeatedly. No progression-related in-game features are affected by this fix as no multiplayer is present in the game and Uplay unlocks are added by the Uplay client in a save outside the game.
