Difference between revisions of "Assassin's Creed Odyssey"

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(Decided to add the solution to the bug I had in Assassin's Creed Syndicate to all games mentioned in Nvidia's thread)
(Formatting. Added Retail version + pre-order DLC. Verified intro fix. Removed InSpectre and Windows Defender (general OS tweak, see Windows wiki page). Moved fullscreen optimization box to Issues fixed section.)

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[3]
  1. Copy the <path-to-game> folder over to a new appropriate location on a non-Storage Spaces drive.
  2. When the game folder have been copied over completely, open Uplay and select the game.
  3. Click on Properties and then on Uninstall to remove the existing game install folder.
  4. After the uninstall have been completed, click on Locate installed game below the Download button.
  5. Browse to and select the new <path-to-game> folder, then click on OK.
  6. The game will be playable again after Uplay have verified that all game files are present.

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.
Configure a task for automatic periodic clearing of the standby memory[4]
  1. Download Intelligent Standby List Cleaner
  2. Run the program and click Start and enable Start minimized.
You can manually configure the limits to suit your particular system if desired, leave default if not.
Disable Fullscreen optimizations[5]

Very low FPS on SLI configurations

Instruction[6]
  1. Disable SLI at the system level, even if it's disabled on the game's profile. The game tries to use it which severely hits the performance.
  2. Make sure the card for PhysX is the same card that's rendering the game (GPU #1).
  • DO NOT dedicate the second card to PhysX.
