    Default Graphic setting to high.

    Default graphics settings for this game are too high for should I say lower end systems like mine. Windows 10 Home 64 bit, Intel i5 2500k CPU, GTX 1060 6gb graphics card, 16gb DDR 3 ram. So I ran this game first on a GTX 960 2gb card and had lots of stutter and lockups so I purchased a new GTX 1060 6gb card and still had the stutters and lockups. After going back and forth to Ubi support they ask me for a screenshot of my graphics settings which were set to default for this card and they were set to Ultra. I lowered the setting to high and the stutters and lockups disappeared. From memory, the default settings for the 960 were set too high by default so if I had of lowered them to the lowest setting (you only have 3 choices) the stutters and lockups might have disappeared with that card. Anyway, I was thinking of upgrading my card. Cards are getting so expensive these days. I paid about 3 years ago $350 New Zealand for the 960 2gb card and paid $595 New Zealand for the 1060 6gb card. I'm just posting this in case it helps others with the same issue.

    Hey flybyme. I'm glad to hear you've managed to get the stuttering and lockups fixed by lowering your graphics settings. As mentioned by crunc01 it looks like your system is being bottle-necked by your CPU, in order to make the most of your strong GPU I'd suggest your next upgrade is a newer CPU. An i5 is fine, but you may want to look into getting a newer generation one!

    Yes, that is on my wish list. As being a pensioner and on a limited income it takes a bit of time to get the funds together. Took a bit of time to get the 1060. Anyway, on the high settings, the game still looks great.
