Did you try to buffer those frames? See above.
Still unplayable for me
Can we all define what sort of stutter we're getting to see if it's the same issue?
For me, it's not micro-stutter but heavy judder. My FPS will drop by 15 or so for a second, feels like something streaming related. Then I'm back up to 50-60FPS on ultra. At times, it'll stay perfect smooth, mostly when stalking through the grass and moving slowly.

Dammit. It's frustrating that Ubisoft has been mum on this.
Sadly, I don't know who's more foolish... the fools who sold us a broken Assassins Creed Unity AND FarCry 4 or those of us fooled twice in a week.
Yeah it's more like that for me too. I can get to 60 but I can't keep it with the recommended settings. It drops low all the time.

Why do you have to reinstall the game and then apply the patch? If you reinstall the game, it is already patched. What version of the game do you have exactly?

TB called it "hitching" in his video, and yeah, I also suffer it. AMD 290X here.
This is simply not true. I got this game through the Nvidia promotion and was able to play just fine at midnight release. I also purchased the season pass at the same time, not sure if that's relevant.
hättest dir man ne radeon geholt. :v:
am getting 60 when it is quit outside with ultra settings.
but it drops too.
will adjust things a little bit tomorrow.

Is anybody else who is using SLI getting ghosting?
Disable AA, motion blur, use HBAO+, and force FXAA in drivers game profile.
I think SMAA option in the game means Temporal SMAA (atm not compatible with SLI).

Glad to hear this, not because I have 3 680's but to hear 2GB is still relevant even at high res. I was paranoid about my 4GB 970 not being enough until the next two years.
Lol
I always look for you in these threads (not a bad thing) because our resolution and system is somewhat similar.
I dont have to get my hands dirty

Hey Maldo, do you ever get any weird image retention with SLI? I seem to be getting it on FC4 and I got it on Watch Dogs too.

Yes, my 670's are ghosting... the bigger issue (for me) is the crushed blacks. Can't see shit.
Only enabling SMAA (is temporal AA).

Weird, I get it using TXAA, I assume that's because it has a temporal element too?
TXAA is a lot sharper than SMAA in my experience. Some people prefer temporal stability and image cleanliness over mere sharpness. I'm one of those people. A slightly softer image never bothers me nearly as much as artifacts like shader aliasing, flicker, jaggies, etc.

Anyone playing this on a surface pro 3?
I've just bought the i7, 8GB RAM version and was wondering how this would perform.

Ahh nice to know, thanks. I play at 4K too, so using FXAA over SMAA doesn't bother me much either, especially when there's a slight fps boost.

Haha, clever
Though i think your tri-titans(?) have a bit more power than my dual 980s N1ghtW4lk3R
Member
sure, you must disable SMAA for fix it.
yep. its temporal Smaa. I had same problem in WD when i used Timestop CT...ghost image when you turn quickly the visual.

Jesus christ the mouse acceleration is horrendous. Basically unplayable for me. Even with the XML edits... using 970 newest drivers.
It's like I'm fighting to aim...
And the stuttering is ridiculous. Same EXACT shit that happened with FC3 on launch..
With FC3 I eventually fixed it though and it was BUTTER smooth. Can't remember what edits I did with the XML though..
I think it was a MAXFPS 60 setting or something like that..

*on knees gazing up at the ether...
Dear galactic warlord Xenu, please let someone post a solution for the crushed blacks while running SLI.

Holy shit! Looks incredible =)
When's 1.04 due? Doesn't seem available for me on uPlay.
I really hope they fix the road popin. Come on now. You all get that too right? Only noticeable on the quad bike as cars have this effect which whites out the road...worryingly.
Damn though:

tree relief off
Depth of field looks a bit naff on the player and gun imo, maybe too strong? There was a setting in the config file that read as being on low even on ultra, may try changing it.

Awesome! That tiger looked ridiculously good. I'm gonna go see if the patch is live for me now.
Edit: Damn, just booted it up and no patch. My game is still at 1.3.0. How did that guy get the patch and record that video?

yep, but fur simulate is not applied on all animals..only those shown in the video.
Russian pirate version i suppose..ubisoft has release the patch and quickly retreat, i dont know why -.-

Bugs probably? Also any mention of the patch fixing stuttering? It's seriously unplayable.

Yes, it's a known issue. Most people here running a sli rig have the same problem.

When is the 1.4 patch hitting uPlay?

Sounds like they have identified the USB devices issue and are also aware of the mouse acceleration. Putting this down until those get resolved.

Are you using SLI? I found a fix for this on another forum. Use the latest drivers and add this to SLI compatibility bits through inspector:
0x082088F5
I had tried various other bits settings last night, fixes, settings etc, nothing worked. This does with SLI. GTX980s in SLI anyway. 80-90FPS @ 1440p. It was 50FPS on one 980 before.

Wondering this as well.
They withdrew the patch due to an issue associated with USB devices causing black screens during gameplay or something like that.
I guess it's been reported even with the current patch, though I've never experienced it personally. I guess they're adding more fixes as well which is why they're delaying it.

Let's hope it fixes the crashing and stuttering.

A bit disconcerting that there was no mention of the stuttering in that lengthy reply. How long are we expected to wait for this game to be playable?
You already have our money, Ubisoft... where's our working product?

Doubtful. The stuttering is exhibited on g-sync which doesn't even use v-sync, rendering this setting moot.
The stuttering is some sort of performance bottleneck probably associated with the dx11 renderer. It looks very similar to FC3 stuttering, which could only be fixed by switching to DX9.

This fucking guy................................................. Knows what he's talking about. MY MAN!
0x082088F5, resolves the black crush. It also apparently locks fps to 60. At the setting i'm currently running with my 670's, I occasionally drop below... but the ceiling is 60. Nonetheless, high fidelity only my 670's & no black crush.
Thanks dude.
edit: actually, while 0x082088F5 eliminates black crush... it severely impacts image quality. back to running a single gpu...
Finally got to load the game up after the uplay unlocking fun.
i5 2500k @ 4.2
8 gig DDR3
Evga 970 FTW
Win 7 64bit
Set it to Nvidia setting but turned txaa down to 2x. Using border less.
I get 50-60 pretty consistently. I think I need to turn a few things down to get that solid 60.
Going to hit Andy's breakdown of the settings and try to bump a couple costly things down and get that 60.
Looks amazing though. No bullshots this time.

Mine finally unlocked later today. As I expected, it's a stuttering shit show. I'll play this if it is ever fixed, but this is fucking it. Fuck Ubisoft and all of their broken games. I don't have as much time to play games now so when I do get time I'd rather just play rather than dick around with their bullshit
Disabled mipmapping, locked framerate to 31fps with RTSS, for 2560x1440 on a 780ti + 4.4 4770K, frametimes:
I think those peak clusters are from when I use the camera and zooming in, I get 99% GPU usage. The frametimes include shadowplay recording - the webm I recently posted was at the end. Driving around full speed with quad bike and having it crash and burn too.
