Issues unresolved
Poor framerate and visual quality on Nvidia GPUs

Random freezing with Intel 12th CPU or newer
Set processor affinity for all cores[7][8]
|
- Open task manager after run the game
- Right-click ACOdyssey.exe in the "Details" tab and choose “Set affinity"
- Select All processors
Notes
- This powershell script sets Affinity for all cores without task manager.
|
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[9]
|
- 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[10]
|
- 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[12]
|
- 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
|
Romancing the stone garden bug
- In this specific quest the quest marker may disappear or become "stuck" and out of bounds.
Make a manual save and reload it[13]
|
(Nvidia) Random Freezing for a few seconds
- This is a known driver issue in versions 451.48 and 451.67.[14]
Stuttering in cities/high population areas
Enable Ultra Low Latency or Anti-Lag feature in graphics card control panel[15]
|
Issues with DualShock 4 input auto-switch using Bluetooth
- Does no longer let you change between gamepad and keyboard/mouse on the fly.
Disable auto-switch[16]
|
- Go to the configuration file location.
- Open
ACOdyssey.ini .
- Go to the
[Input] section.
- Change
SelectedPad=None to SelectedPad=Wireless Controller .
- Change
KeyboardMouseEnabled=1 to KeyboardMouseEnabled=0 .
- Change
AutoSwitchEnabled=1 to AutoSwitchEnabled=0 .
- Save your changes.
