Key points
- Includes a built-in benchmark and automatically captures performance metrics for the last 30 seconds of gameplay.
Its needed to disable MFAA in Nvidia Control Panel, this improves performance A LOT. Its enabled by default in NVC but with this game its also enabled in the game engine itself, making the game unstable and tanking performance.

Infinite spend

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[5]
|
- Copy the <path-to-game> folder over to a new appropriate location on a non-Storage Spaces drive.
- When the game folder have been copied over completely, open Uplay and select the game.
- Click on Properties and then on Uninstall to remove the existing game install folder.
- After the uninstall have been completed, click on Locate installed game below the Download button.
- Browse to and select the new <path-to-game> folder, then click on OK.
- 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[6]
|
- Download Intelligent Standby List Cleaner
- 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.
|
Very low FPS on SLI configurations
Instruction[8]
|
- 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.
- 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.
- DO NOT use the second card or the CPU for PhysX.
- Both of these will either cause massive performance hits, FPS drops, or stuttering.
If the problem persists, disable these overlays (in this order, depending on what you have installed):
- RivaTuner Statistics Server
- Discord overlay
- Twitch overlay
- UPlay overlay
- Steam overlay
|
(Nvidia) Random Freezing for a few seconds
- This is a known driver issue in versions 451.48 and 451.67.[9]
