AC Origins Question

I am curious to see what other people think of my situation here. I have been trying since the game came out to get it to work since it is maxing out my 4770k @ 4.4 ghz. Which is the only game that does so. I have talked with ubisoft support who try to bullshit and say the game shouldn't do that and gave me a bunch of fixes that didn't work. They then said we have forwarded this issue to the development team so they can hopefully release a patch that can fix it. Which I am assuming I should take that as give up it won't get fixed or buy a brand new top of the line cpu. Now my question is does anyone think it may actually be fixed and i should hold off because to me the game is unplayable it costantly hitches for a second because it is bottlenecking my 1080ti. I tried putting it on vsync but that still didn't help since the game bottlnecks my gpu if it goes above like 40 percent usage or should I just try to refund the game and buy it on my xbox one. Sadly I don't have a One X but I really wanna play the game.

Wasn't it so terrible on CPU's because of the DRM they used?

Maybe it's gonna be one of those cases where pirates will have a better time with the game in a couple of months, compared to customers who bought it at the beginning.

 

But if the DRM is the cause, the only thing you could wait for is for them to patch the DRM, either out of the game or patch it up so it isn't as CPU taxing anymore.

I have no clue I know people say it is and ubisoft says it's not true. There is no way to tell what it is till they finally crack it. I am not really quit sure what to do since I love playing on pc and want it on pc especially since I don't like playing on console unless I absolutely have to lols.

Kinda sucks though, having a game, it doesn't play well and have customer support not be able to tell you exactly why it doesn't work.

I haven't played the game myself, but I heard from RandomGamingHD it had some issues (in terms of performance) over the course of a month or so in his tests.

I still would like to see if anyone who reads this thinks if the game might be fixed and I should hold on a bit longer or just go for the console version. I just really wanted to play this game on pc. Trying not to switch to console for this game unless I really have to.

I just ended up buying it on my Xbox One S. Very happy with it so far.
