Not suprised that this game needs a brute of a PC | Forums

Sorry, but poor textures and environment detail, shimmering, pop-in, shadow flickering, missing textures and other artifacts do indeed affect the visual quality of a game.

There are way too many npcs and this is what is causing at least some of the graphics and stuttering problems. They overshot it when Ubisoft tried to overpopulate France. It was bad, but it wasn't this bad and it's only causing a lot of problems. They should halve the amount of npcs in the game, and then it would be a bit more realistic, not to mention that it would help a lot with the stuttering and other graphic problems many of us are having.

then allow us to choose to decrease the population... too many NPC's can be a bother... next things we know they will be adding bugs and insects to add further immersion, fully modeled with wings and all those nasty features + they will include rat infestations that carry the plague....

Just my opinion guys. We all have different brains...eyeballs, monitors, etc. What looks very good to one person may not to another. I hate bright blue cars with a passion. But I see them driving up and down the street everyday. I am in no way saying your opinion is not just as valid.

I agree Jac. The streets are full of people and every few blocks there is a giant crowd of 50 to 100 people. Its great it makes th eworld feel really alive. But it also takes tremendous CPU and GPU processing for all those NPCs.

To dbgager:: You may well be right about the sales and the bottom line. Gamers in general seem not to want to use common sense or wait until some reviews are in.. I am feeling more and more smug and pleased that I have not bought either Unity or the latest Far Cry (I liked Far Cry 1 and 2, but I believe they may not run on Win 7). So despite owning the so called "mega PC" I am not going to feed Ubisoft for lousy programming and lousy PC support. Even AC3 has more bugs than a rain forest..
