Issues unresolved
Poor framerate and visual quality on Nvidia GPUs
- MFAA can cause serious framerate and visual quality issues on Nvidia GPUs.
Disable MFAA[5][6] |

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
ACOdyssey.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[7] |

Stuttering issues on Windows 10 v1703 or newer
- On some systems running Windows 10 version 1703 or newer, the game can experience constant stutters even when the in-game metrics report a stable framerate.
- Check also resources management tune-up by Special K below.
