Damn, was hoping for something there. I get frame drops like crazy at certain points for no reason

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Played a few hours on Series X with the patch. It seems marginally better, not a lot though. Still tears. Cutscenes still stutter, though per DF we already know that's something beyond a performance issue.
I think this is something they do intentionally for performance reasons. This has been the case since the engine overhaul in Origins. On PC, the Birds and similar effects all run at a lower framerate than the rest of the game.
seems like its on a constant basis every 30 seconds or so it drops frames and then goes back up. This is probably a bug honestly.
Quality mode doesnt seem to have the issue at all.
That's why I never buy an AC game on launch. Hopefully ubi get it fixed in a year or so.
As someone who just bought the 55" version of that TV on sale, I whole heartedly agree. VRR is going to be game changing this generation I feel because of the increased framerates.
Played for a few hours on Series S in performance mode. Didn't notice a single drop in fps. No screen tearing too (it was not present before patch too) Graphics also look great in motion. No drops to some last gen resolutions like 720p. Great patch for series s.
WTF happened to the PS5 version? It was running fine.
Sigh. I'll just play 13 Sentinels until they fix their shit.

Totally agree with this, it's going to be a major feature this generation. I have my X connected to my ips/HDR monitor with my PC, it's freesync/gsync compatable and I be never seen any screen tears or performance drops, it's been silky smooth for me ask the way through. A good alternative if you can't drop 2k on a TV
Yeah, the only developer who will have three games out on next gen consoles when Riders Republic launches.
Some of you guys are just hilarious. In a very sad way.
Probably. Most here on this forum are absolutely mental.
Are you on PS5? I've noticed that anytime you launch a game it will grab the latest patch even with auto updates off. Auto updates just disables it from grabbing the patch when the game isn't running.
This certainly doesn't help. Nor does them having three games out on next gen justify these performance issues. This shit is hard and the people losing their minds are ridiculous. However I think it's fine to be frustrated when performance goes backwards for some.
Just wait until the gold Edtion with all the DLC hits 20-30€ which should be in a year or even less. Breakpoint is already a bargain bin game.
Ubisoft games are rough. It clearly shows that they put quantity over quality.
The first thing I did after the update was complete a mission I had saved at, and during the cutscene afterwards
streamable.com
Not entirely sure it was the update, but it sure was amusing, even their subtitles were missing.

Watch "b8ab8695-f984-4571-838a-373d76deeac9" on Streamable.
I stopped the download, but i have to Remember to stop it everytime or not to stop the game, since i guess the game must be stopped for the update to run.
Little hint for the PS5: There Is an option that enables patch Updates while in Rest mode. The game will be stopped and the patch installed.
If you don't want that, you need to disable it in the options menu.

This has nothing to do with the pandemic, Origins and Odyssey also sounded like recorded in a bathroom. those games had extremely bad audio quality, sounded very muffled and low bitrate.
besides that, the pandemic excuse is getting tired, these are multi billion companies wanting money for their products, if they can´t bring it to a decent quality level they should postpone their stuff, pandemic or not.
Performance issues my f-ing ass. Listen, I don't want to sound like a Ubi fanboy which I am absolutely not, but Valhalla is the prettiest open world I have ever played, and it's pretty much locked at 60 fps on the version I play (XSX). Which is unheard of to me on a console.
I rather have games like this early with 'some' issues, than these pretentious AAA games that come out many YEARS after consoles launch.
If you haven't already, I highly advise giving this a go:
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
At the time of writing (v 0.11.0.51 // Nov 13, 2020), the official release of Special K is incompatible with this game (DRM / D3D12 / DXGI Debug issues). A pre-configured standalone release of Special K (v 0.11.1) is available for this game. Before After Install Download SK_ACV.7z...
discourse.differentk.fyi
It pretty much eliminated all my framedrop and frametime issues.
We're in a thread about a patch where one of the versions of this game got worse. Also the XSX version was not a locked 60 fps previously, I can't attest to what it is now.
As far as your last comment goes, I have no idea what relevance it has at all.
"Makes PS5 run worse"
Really? Actually just sounds like we are finally seeing the power differences of the two consoles, the gulf of power between them /😏

And something company behind marketing of this title was very much looking for haha. And sth that occured to AC:Unity running better on weaker machine , by some strange coincidence being marketed and advertised by the owner of that weaker machine.
Jokes aside I guess code parity may prefer XSX HW now giving hickups to PS5.
Seems like what probably happened here if I had to take a guess.
This game isn't even close to being the prettiest open world game there is, it's arguably worse looking than the 2016 in its own franchise.
So I had my first big session with the game yesterday, played for 3,5 hours on PS5. All good until I entered a settlement where I tried to do 2 world quests. One bugged out on me completely (Rolf the Raider went away, once I found him again he told me the same sentence 3 times, but I can't talk to him to proceed the quest), the other with The Snake merchant was even more aggrevating: the merchant darts away with INSANE speed, where Eivor can't possibly keep up, with no indication of where to. I found him again by pure luck and managed to somehow get him after 20 minutes. Both these quests soured me on the whole session yesterday... The game is far from done on the patch front.
No. Just... Yeah, no. I have no idea what games you're playing, but I would like to see them.
I'm probably the biggest RDR2 fanboy in existence, but AC V does look better than even that at times.
Hmm, I'm seeing stutter now, and I'm playing on a VRR display. The game was perfectly smooth before and now it doesn't feel like that. XSX here.
It seems that rebooting the console helps? Game stutters after waking up the console from sleep mode. Anyone with similar issue?

It's better.
It's not perfect (you can still force a frame tear or two) but the update is good for the Xbox version. Undeniably better.
v1.0.4 is much better than previous version (v1.0.2).
On XSX - Performance (Dynamic 4K/60fps) Mode: tearing is almost totally gone + framerate is more stable while visual clarity is even higher and more consistent (with less noticeable pop-in and LoD switching during horse traversal) + HDR is brighter in darkest areas + a lot more Quality of Life improvements for the gameplay itself.
It's very much what it should have been at D1, but two weeks later.
Outside of hyper-polished first party releases it really isn't worth it at all.
Hahaha, yep. Perhabs it's time to wait and many already said this beforehand. But you know the hottakes are coming in hotter than the games or tools.
