Putting your ps4 offline fixes the framerate issue

There are so many assassin creed threads I don't know where to post this but, can anyone with a PS4 or PC confirm this?

This workaround has now been posted on the UBI forums by their moderator. So it looks like they are aware of it, and it could be a real thing:

Frame rate issues. WORKING ON IT WORKAROUND BELOW
What can I do in the meantime?
If playing single player, we suggest that you disconnect from your internet connection (wifi or network cable).It could potentially improve frame rate.

Don't think the online thing is a thing. At least not for me. Seems like placebo effect.

 

[Nino]

Not fake, this is the official page !

Got a link?

 

[foxbeldin]

Is this for real? Can't find it on their page.

This can't be real. If so .....

For me, the internet thing only helped with removing a few stutters here and there, but it ain't a fix for the 20-25 frame rate.

Is this thing patchable? Seems like its problems are too deep and fundamental to be fixed now. If their fix is to simply wipe out say, half the npcs, what does this mean for future marketing of games? I mean you could simply say your game has 20,000 npcs, then release it and have it run like shit, then patch out the npcs a week later. Who cares.

They should just render their next game at CG-like quality levels, what does it matter if it runs at 5 frames per second. Give a talk at GDC on your technological breakthrough!! I'm off to code a game with DOUBLE the npcs of Unity. I'm sure it will run at 2 frames per second but thats okay. It will look incredible.

The framerate is amazing.
I am doing the Notre Dame assassination mission. Around Notre Dame, in those crowds, I get 18-25fps no matter the setting, on 4ghz 2500K and 280X.
I feel like in the ancient times of Max Payne 1 when I had integraded SiS 730 graphics card and was running Max at 20fps.
Worst optimized game I have seen in many years.

hey, at least the game keeps on delivering the comedy!

Ι am seriously thinking of renting the game just for the glitches and stuff... its how you said it... pure gold comedy...

The game is also the most beautiful and next gen game since many years your pc is outdated man.

Seriously comparing performances with other games is just stupid since there is no other game with si much crowd and GI and cloth sim.

[Chaplain]

I said wow.

Here is the video of the frame rate dropping to 1 fps that is 100% reproducible. As long as I attempted to take cover, the game ran at 1 fps: a nextgen slide show.

oh...no...

 

[brandonh83]

The glitched out Chewbacca is the most memorable character design in ages.

That is a level 5 Yoga position. The "Basket Squat"

I'm so glad I didn't buy this game but other people did.

It's hilarious to watch these glitches.

 

[omonimo]

I don't think fps will be fixed in short time.

 

[rBose]

I don't think fps will be fixed in short time.

As I said in an earlier post this week, it will most likely never be fixed on PC.

They will take care of crashes and LOD problems, but I'm afraid you can't fix an Alpha build through patches.

They must be surely among the secret community of the templars of nowadays

Please someone make a thread about it.

Horrible mess that Ubisoft employees knew was there (the director, producer, QA, etc.) and probably released it "as is" because they needed to make the release date regardless of the state the game was in.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Early preview of The Evil Within 2?

 

[maximum360]

LOL. That's giving me "The Thing" flashbacks.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Reminds me of a necromorph from Dead Space. Love how it seems like the soldiers bending over to examine the hideous glitch.

 

[G_Berry]

I tried

Lol at his face.

 

[Ultimen]

Brr.... Got a nasty breeze in here. Those are brutal. Has there ever been a game post released that a single player campaign riddled with bugs repaired?

We've moved beyond frames per second; now we're in seconds per frame territory.

I had similarly reproducible slowdown when climbing a wall. If I moved right it was a sideshow left framerate returns to normal. I'm convinced 99% of the slowdown is due to bugs causing loops in game logic.

there is just a general issue in that area that everyone is seeing. i haven't seen anywhere else so far where fps takes a dive into single digits. at least not like that

This is incredible. The way the camera pans over to the left and then "AAAHH EEEHH" lmaooooooooooooo. It's like a Monty Python scene.

 

[JumpJeff84]

I watched an IGN video review of this yesterday, and the dude mentioned nothing about frame rate at all.

I'm not one of those 'gimme objective reviews' guys, but shit, I wish reviewers would make more mention of technical aspects of games sometimes.

 

[ironcreed]

LOL, I have not encountered anything like this, but I kind of hope I do. Good shit.

 

[Joeki11a]

So I decided to get all viewpoints, pretty sure I am one of a few its a "Ultra rare trophy 2.1%"

I noticed areas where crowd density was non existant and the game ran amazing, I saw interiors with amazing hd textures, Huge landscapes that are mindblowing the whole lower left side of the map its superb.

so Ubisoft has to lower the player count asap, up the res to 1080p & Dynamic on Xbox one( I see this trend coming ).

This thread is way more entertaining than I'm sure the game will ever be!

 

[stryke]

Ubisoft must be pissed off right now that every console can record this kinda shit happening.

 

[Spectromixer]

So today's patch didn't chenge frame rate, right? It seems worse after the update.
