not a driver crash right? the app just randomly closes? if the latter i have no idea how to troubleshoot that. seems like it would err on the side of being a game problem

This didnt work for me, and ive had to shut down my computer twice now... I just wanna play Ubisoft!
I'm running
980ti sli
I-7
32 GB ram
I don't know, can't game this game to run well for me which is weird as the beta ran so well for me

Doesn't mean that it's not CPU limited in outdoor scenes specifically. A frametime will scale fine with a faster GPU even when it's CPU limited part will stay the same. If a GPU is consuming more CPU than its counterpart it will be relatively slower in these scenes. Both CPU and GPU are working on each frame.
And yeah, when you see things like this:
You really can't think of any better explanation than the obvious lack of engine optimization for NV's h/w.
I wonder how NV let this be considering that the game is in their program.

Three black screens, can hear the Ubisoft jingle. Can't alt enter, ctrl alt delete, or alt tab out. I want to play, I don't want to ask for a steam refund. Pissing me right off.
No issues with the Beta for me either.

or kepler is just a very bad architecture

Not that I'm aware of. Everything seems fine, then the game up and closes and I get the Ubi "send an error" popup. It's really strange and totally random.

For anyone with random crashes I turned off the wind enabled snow setting and I played a good hour with no crashes so far.. just took a break will play again sometime later.

I haven't even played. At all.

It's not. I can think of maybe one reason such results would even be possible on a GK104 compared to a much slower Pitcairn but it was fixed in Maxwell and it's not only Kepler which are struggling in this game. The engine is what's bad here.

well alt+entering once doesnt work, so i alt+f4 it, then start the game and black screen again. So i spam alt+enter and it works

if this was the only game where kepler performed poorly, then maybe it could just be a lack of optimization

Well I launched it from the uplay client this time and it froze on the disclaimer. WTF
Agreed. I'm in the same boat as you. Hoping for a fix soon.

So how would the game perform at 1440p with a 980ti, 16gb ram and i7 5820k, smaa on low and shadows on high since I don't care much about Nvidia pcss and hfts.

If something is performing way below its theoretical level it is the lack of optimization. Other games may be underperforming due to other reasons (lack of VRAM and/or bandwidth, lack of pure compute power, something else).

I believe this is a uplay error because it has been happening to me with far cry primal too. If I use my xbone controller, after I exit the game my mouse is bonkers and registers beeps. Same thing with division.
Yeah but this is happening during my game as well, lost progression on missions 4 different times because of this. Horrible.

No, this has to do with Microsoft's new driver in KB3140743. UNinstall this KB and then block it from downloading. Voila.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
Been having this issue for a week now, seem its related to a Windows 10 update https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/48pae4/random_mouse_lagging_and_beeping/
Hope it gets fixed soon, using my 360 controller for now.
Also not just uplay causing it, my brother was playing Just Cause 3 and happened to him today.
I get a black screen every time I log in.
Alt enter works but then when I alt enter again to enter fullscreen mode it stays windowed no matter what,
Changing resolution and doing it in settings doesn't work either.
Funny thing is I played 6 hours straight perfectly then decided to restart my PC and boom now I can't play out of windowed mode.
Game ran like a charm on medium too. FX 8320, 16 gigs of ram and a GTX 970 was giving me 110-120 indoors and 70-80 outside with the rare fps drop depending on how much is happening on the screen.

Same happened to me, then mouse click made the computer beep.
Wtf is wrong, driver or game?

Nah, you're fine. Uninstall the KB I mentioned and then block it. Works perfectly again on my computer.
Oh what, is that what is happening?
The other day my computer froze up, and I if I clicked my mouse button it would make a beep noise. Never have seen that happen before.
Windows 10, didn't update to the new Nvidia drivers.
It looks like KB3140743 was a cumulative update; they're on KB3140768 now. Should I still block the latter? I'm not sure if they already managed to fix this since it was just posted today.
Edit - KB3140768 still contains the bug, make sure to block that update after uninstalling KB3140743 (or KB3140768 if you already have that installed).
You guys having this issue with the mouse beeping at you and system unresponsive when disconnecting your gamepad it's not nVidia it's a recent Windows update, you have to uninstall KB3140743 from Programs and Features->View Installed Updates then set your Windows updates service to disabled for now until Microsoft fixes the issue.
Yeah by the time I had uninstalled 743, 768 had already been installed so I couldn't block 743 and the problem was still happening. So I've uninstalled both and blocked 768 and it's working fine now!

There is a bug in the latest windows 10 update causing this. You get beeping when trying to click the mouse, right?
Go into Programs & Features and uninstall the latest update and it'll be fixed.
Edit: ah okay people are covering this above.

Well, I tried benching my 6700k/980ti/16GB after installing the beta drivers from yesterday and performance was outstanding.
Benched on Ultra but going in and maxing shadows I got an average of 69fps at 1080p. Graphics card was sweating though (but it is overclocked)

Same thing happened to me when starting it for the first time. Did a hard reset on the pc, then it worked.

Alt-F4 the game if this happens and try booting it up again (do not try to alt-tab or alt-ctrl-del). Takes 1-2 tries and then it eventually works.

Everyone I know t got the black screen at least once right when starting the game.
A restart of the game fixed it.
As for performance, it's been pretty good. I got kicked out of the game twice in a 6 hour period, one while i was at boss mission but thankfully when I connected back in the game it put me back at the boss with my friends (who had to hold off on killing him)

Uninstall KB3140743 update if under Windows 10.
The black screen issue fixed itself after one restart but goddamn, the game is buggier than it was in the beta

Hmm, im getting inconsistent 50-60fps sometimes more during firefight. Anyone know which setting is expensive but with minimal impact to image quality ?
i have a gtx 980, 16gb ram, i7 4770k..

4790k at 4.7ghz

Get about 40-55fps at 1440p with everything maxed with all effects on.
Outdoors the FPS jumps around between 40-50 but inside it stays 50+ usually.

Really glad this game runs so much better than the Beta did for me (80-100 fps compared to 40-80). Running at 1080p with a mix of high and maxed out settings. Only got DotF and Volumetric Fog on Medium as they don't do much for me. Game runs at 80-100 fps with some weird dips to the 60s/50s in certain areas (like looking in certain specific directions at Camp Hudson). I'm also not having the weird heat issues I had with the beta which I was worried about. I really hope it stays this good. Still just level 5 in early Manhattan. A little bit worried about how well it will perform in Darkzone with plenty of players on screen however.

Volumetric fog from ultra to high helps a lot.
Volumetric fog can be really demanding. In one area the difference between medium and maxed was about 35fps. Went from 70-80 to ~45fps with that one setting on my 970.

I have this issue as well. It's like this game polls inputs different than most and perf drops which usually never affect inputs now slow them down and make them buffer considerably.

That makes me wonder. Is GPU utilisation on AMD rather poor in outdoor areas? Or does it still report back 99-100% utilisation inspite of having all that driver overhead?
I am not sure how they do it necessarily, but looking at the NV optimisation guide (which is awesome as usual Andy), it looks like the internal resolution of the effect is decidedly higher on Ultra.
