Ubisoft games

[BollyWood401]

Why do Ubisoft games have poor optimization on pc? I’ve always wondered, like I want to get excited about the new watch dogs coming out but the RTX super series was having problems running games like watchdogs 2 and newer assassin’s creed games. What are your thoughts? What do you do to combat poorly optimized games?

This is the first im hearing about poorly optimized games from ubisoft. I play a ton of them (on a gtx 1070) and have always had reasonable frame rates.

gloop just shared this forum post with me, it’s actually VERY common! A lot of ubisoft’s latest games have optimization issues.

Well watch dogs 2 and some other games was made for console and they lazy ported my wd2 was lagging but I just had to disable page file other than that every game runs super good at high ish settings (GTX 1060 3GB)

My 2060S runs them(*) nicely in 1080p. No issues at all.

 

*Watchdogs 2, Odyssey, Wildlands, New Dawn.....

yeah with wd2 it auto detected very high for most settings but in dense areas i drop down to like 40-60 fps at almost all low.

ac2 i wont write off as there was some limiter capping it at 60 but still it wasnt stable. acb needed an initial boot then restart to get stable and higher fps. acr wasnt much better either.

The biggest draws to clawing back framerates in open-world Ubisoft games is to drop draw distance for things like vegetation and enabling certain games' reconstruction techniques for rendering the image itself. 

Lots of their games are also really heavy on the CPU and like Intel CPUs, so beware with that.

Only Ubisoft game I play is siege and it would run on a potato

Oh, they're poorly optimized on consoles too.

Yeah e sport type games always run so well, wish they found a way for all games but open world games can be tough.

Thanks for the feed back, lowering vegetation definitely helps a lot!

I honestly think maybe Ubisoft games need a little more time in the oven when it comes to pc ports. Good feedback man, glad I’m not the only one
