    Graphics are doing something so that it makes you drunk

    I just got my computer fixed so that i can run on ultra, when i switched iit to ultra there is a slight shadow of a previous scene or plants, its like a watermark if you wanna call it that. For instance im in the room after the couple gets into that litttle fight over intel or saving lives, after they leave when i stare at the wall i can see an image of her head faintly in black and overall after running around it makes ya feel drunk as if you put on those drunk glasses at the high school dont drink and drive booth. Hopefully someone can help me out, thanks!

    Your not the only one seeing this, I notice it starts when I press M for the map and go back into the game or if I hit ESC for the settings then go back to the game, only a game restart fixes it but it will do it again

    I am having the same issues when using both my video cards. If I turn the settings down to High then it gets rid of the burn in effect. However everything is still very dark. If I disable SLI the games looks normal, but runs worse then I would like.

    MSI GTX 970 Gaming SLI @1.5GHz

    Mine was dark too until i messed with the anti alias and the one above it ambient occlusion, i found that it works best for me when AO is on HBAO+ and AA is on SMAA, the darkness went away. Before eeverything was reallllly dark couldnt even see the branches or trees in front of me.... But yeah the other issue has me stumped, it does look like a burnt tv


    My specs are:

    Alienware Aurora
    GeForce GTX 690
    Intel Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60 GHZ
    16.00 GB Ram
    Driver Version: 344.75

    FIX - turn anti aliasing off / change setting

    Changing AA to SMAA and leaving AO set to HBAO+ also fixed the really dark shadows for me. I was able to get rid of burn in by setting shadows to high then reloading my save. However my frame rate is the same with SLI or a single card. The frame rate is even a bit more stable using a single card.

    When running the game on a single 970 I used the Nvidia graphics present and the game ran and looked pretty good. I hope this gets fixed soon, the game has been quite fun when it works.

    I made uploaded a couple screenshots showing my same save starting position with SLI on and off.

    SLI on



    SLI off

    Are you being deliberately annoying or just a fool?
    That isn't a "fix". That is simply turning off a broken setting.
    A fix is something that Ubisoft really need to get on as quickly as possible.
