    Worst game experience ever....

    I know this is post nr 1000 about the subject.

    This game was running fine for me before the first patch, only the microstutter was anoying but fixable with the mipmap thing.
    Now it starts running worse for me with each patch they release. I get a lot of graphical glitches al the time, dont even now how to call them it just sucks.
    Really bad popups everywhere even when walking around, my fps drops from 110 to 45!!! when walking through the trees all the time.
    Then when they released 1.6 it was running even worse but i thought to myself you know what, im just gonna finish the damn game and go on with my live.
    Kinda accepting the fact i dont think its fixable for them, and now it freezes my whole computer every 20 min or so.
    So i cant even play it with the stuttering and graphic mess.
    I play a lot of games and have never strugled with a game like this before, i honestly think they need tobe ashamed of themselfs, i wanted to buy Unity and the crew but i really lost my faith in ubisoft and wil not buy another game from them if this isn't getting fixed soon.

    My specs.
    I7-5820k
    16gb ram
    2x Gtx 980 SLI
    Asus rog gsync monitor.
    I should be able to run this game on highest settings on 4k if i wanted to.

    Shame on you Ubisoft.......shame on you........bad ubisoft......

    You have a high end rig but I can't help noticing that many people are running the game perfectly with lower spec computers than yours. I am no expert on software but my only thought is whether it could be caused by another piece of software on your rig or a conflict with a firewall ?

    Mmm i dont know enough about pc's to say anything about that, kinda new to yhe whole thing.the whole system is about a month old and almost empty.
    I even turn of my antivirus etc when i game, not so smart maybe? I dont know
    I haven't used it for anything other then gaming, i run every game i try perfect at really high fps like i expected to.
    And like i said up until patch 1.4 i ran great with only i slight micostutter i could live with. It never froose and no texture problems nothing just the framedrop every now and then.
    Now it keeps freesing and flickering everywhere, never had popups either and now al the time.
    I kinda notice that most people complaining about are a lot of gtx 900 series and high end rig owners.
    Read every post i think and tried every trick i could find but cant get it stable anymore,
    Kinda tired of it i gues, hard to enjoy a otherwise great game.

    I've heard from a few people now that they have problems running the game with an SLI 980 pack.
    One suggestion would be to use NVidias Beta drivers since I never had problems with those. Another would be to try if it's still there when you try to run it with only one, else just clean-reinstall the whole driver.
    I'm using the latest Beta drivers on my 970 here and I have no problems at all, ~80 FPS most of the time.

    My suggestion is DO NOT to change anything on your system, this is by far the worst console port, they have been doing worse and worse since back in 2005 and they will keep on doing it until such time that people wake up and stop buying their crap at launch time. If and when people do this, UBI will have no recourse but to finish a game or not launch it until it plays well on PCs.

    As much as you can do is download the latest drivers from Nvidia and Realtek. You say your rig is a month old but it does not mean you have the latest drivers installed.

    Tried running without sli, no change sad enough. It al started for me with patch 1.5
    It seems that they fix the problems for some people with a patch and wreck someone else's game.
    I just wish they let you choose wihat patch to use yourself, 1,4 had no problems at al for me.
    I have the latest beta drivers, tried rolling back, clean install, with and without sli i cant get it to run solid anymore.
    I kinda gave up tho, i'll check in a month or so if they fixed things and if not i'll just take it up the *** and play GTA V or something else.
    They shouldn't forse you to update the latest patch if the game works great for you, they wrecked mine in this case
    If it was an actual option i would get my money back and leave it as it is...broken

    Just a random thought , in your SLI is Physx turned on or off and is the SLI optimised for the game ? In Nvidia Control Panel have you selected Performance or Quality or Let the Application Decide ?
    Presumably you have Geforce Experience and is it in optimised in there ?

    Have it optimised in geforce experience and tried nvidia inspector, experience runs better actually.
    Physx is turned on and i tried most settings but have application dicide on now. Can't think of a single thing i can try anymore to be honest.
    It runs at over a 100 fps on highest settings at 1440p and the texture ghosting and fps drops i can live with but the constant crashing i have since 1.6 kills it for me.
    Think i might try to download a pirated copy of 1.3 or 1.2 and give that a try, figure since i paid for a copy it's legal
