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] |
---|
|
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] |

|
Disable Fullscreen optimizations[5] |

Very low FPS on SLI configurations

---|---|---|
Minimum | Recommended | |
Operating system (OS) | 7 SP1, 8.1 | 10 |
Processor (CPU) | AMD FX 6300 3.8 GHz AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Intel Core i5 2400 3.1 GHz |
AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz AMD Ryzen 5 1400 AMD Ryzen 1700X 3.8 GHz (4K) Intel Core i7-3770 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7-7700 4.2 GHz (4K) |
System memory (RAM) | 8 GB | 16 GB |
Hard disk drive (HDD) | 46 GB | |
Video card (GPU) | AMD Radeon R9 285 Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2 GB of VRAM Shader model 5 support |
AMD Radeon R9 290X AMD Vega 64 (4K) Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (4K) 4 GB / 8 GB (4K) of VRAM |
- A 64-bit system is required.
- Minimum targets 720p at Low graphical preset; recommended targets 1080p (or 2160p for 4K) at High graphical preset.
- The game required a CPU with AVX instructions on release.[8] This was fixed in patch 1.0.3,[9] now only requiring SSE4.2.[10] This can in turn be lowered to just SSE4.1 with a fix.
