Ah ok mate that's what I was thinking. Had to set my Xbox and PS4 to PC on the TV to get the best picture and HDR etc.
My brother was able to replicate this on his end by enabling Fast Sync in Nvidia CP & limiting fps in game to 60. He has a 4K 60hz monitor. Which is super weird because he didn't have the issue before. I have no idea how it may be related to a combination of a controller sticks issue. Need to talk to him for more details.
Me myself playing on Gync 100hz monitor. But I tried to disabling Gsync and switching the monitor to 60hz mode. Issue still present

I've seen some people say the 30fps cap actually runs at 31fps and has framepacing issues. I don't see this problem at 30hz. Might not be visible for me. I'll switch to 1080p60 and see if the issue shows up on my side.
If not to cap the framerate in the game it actually runs and 61 sometimes producing frame skips. It butter smooth with fps cap 60 but this annoying issue with the controller is killing me,
I get weird smearing when playing this game on my laptop. Now I can play with pretty good settings as my laptop has a 1080 and a 7700HQ but this smearing, well more like a bright outline to distant objects like trees and mountain ranges, seems to leave a bright trace as I move the camera. Not that obvious to see but it's there, as if it's a really bad motion blur. Uncertain if it's the game or my laptop. Horizon 4 is fine and performs great but I have seen this smearing in other games randomly. So I'm thinking it's the display but it only happened once or twice in other games but it's always present in Odyssey. Weird.
Any way to force 1.03 to download on UPlay. Still showing 1.02 and I have automatic updates enabled.
PC patch is set to be released tomorrow : https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1942702-Assassin-s-Creed-Odyssey-Patch-1-0-3
On UPlay you just have to go on the game page and it should say "Update" instead of "Play".
The load this game puts on the CPU is absurd. There has to be some engine limitations causing this.
My 7700k is getting hammered at 95-100% most of the time, and is running hot as a result when I play this game for long periods of time. Im seeing temps that are a good 10-15C higher than in other games that are CPU intensive like BF1.

Game looks amazing at 4k HDR. Runs fairly well on my new 1080 ti, I've no doubt my 3570k is bottlenecking the game though (unfortunately the rest of my build has been put on hold until either Intels prices get better in the UK, or the next AMD cpu's come out). I've managed to get it to mostly run at around 45-50fps on average(even as high as 60 in some indoor places), but it does seem to randomly drop to 10fps for a fraction of a second causing a micro stutter. I'm thinking my CPU is probably causing that, but fortunately it's not too noticeable.
Even moreso when the shadows are omni-directional, unlike shadows from distant directional light sources like the sun.
Makes me wonder if the console version of origins/odyssey have this enabled
I have no idea. I suppose they could optimize a setting low enough to work on consoles, but I wouldn't be surprised if it works like it does in most games where they only cast in one direction.

My system:
GTX 1070
i7 4790k
16GB RAM
Samsung 860 EVO 1TB
The game runs kinda shit on 1440p unless I cap it to 30fps. Right now I'm running it on 1080p with everything at Very High except for shadows (medium) and fog (medium) and I get a pretty solid 60fps aside from random 2 or 3 frame drops here and there. I'm assuming my processor may be showing its age. Definitely not as optimized as I would have liked but I'll take it. Hopefully some patches will at least smooth out my dips into the high 50's.

Probably is the CPU. Alex (Digital Foundry) has some good tips in this video for solid 1080p60, and he's using a GTX 1070 but paired with a better CPU.

From the Readme.txt file in the Support folder :
Yeah, it may be time for me to get a new motherboard and CPU. I may completely revamp the system early next year. Still, my CPU is higher than the recommended requirements, but we all know how that goes.
4790k with a 980ti. Playing at 1080p with settings tweaked to get it running smooth. Usually 60 fps in outdoors, but it drops to 45-50 in heavier cities.
I was looking at upgrading to a 1080ti, or a 2080ti, would my cousin be a bottleneck if I wasn't looking for higher than 60 fps at 1080?

With a new cpu and the 980ti you'll do 60 at 1080 with most settings maxed, buying a 2080ti and keeping the cpu you have won't give you 60 no matter the resolution.
i just reinstalled origins and tested it. my memory doesn't deceive me, origins dynamic lights may look a little bit worse, but still damn good and it runs sooo much better. i bet some people won't even notice the difference visually.
this is just ridiculous, i run at night through a city @ odyssey with lights here and the framerate tanks like shit, i want origins dynamic lights back ffs.
i also wonder why origins looks so much better @ AA on low than odyssey @ low.
I don't have the game yet so I can't try it out myself, but Kaldaien has made a version of his Special K tool for AC Odyssey and Origins which can reduce stuttering or improve CPU performance.

Recommended requirements are for 30fps
Cap @ 30, your GPU should be enough for 1440p.
Because low (and medium) AA setting in Odyssey is actually rendering the game at a lower resolution.
Reshade 3.4.1 installed produces drastic fps drops. In Athens it drops really bad to 40-45 fps. Without it 60 almost all the time.
I have only Lumasharpen and it doesn't matter if it's enabled or disabled. But as soon as I delete reshade files from the game folder fps is back to 60.
At first, thought that they improved things in 1.03 but it turned out I didn't have reshade installed in the game folder during testing 1.03

It's kinda weird to see Kaldaien working on a non-Japanese game.
Would love to read more impressions here. Reports from people in that thread sound good overall.
I just arrived in Athens and the framedrops there are pretty bad so this should help a lot.
Also I hope this mod let's lets me run in Borderless Windowed with HDR on.
It also fixed the AVX CPU related crashing that many of us experienced on GeForce NOW.
Doubt I'll bother trying it with my 3570k then.
Admittedly it does say it mostly helps amd cpu's with their higher core/thread counts.
Hello all,
I have a 6700k, 1080ti, 16 GB of RAM, and an SSD. I have been playing AC: Odyssey at a pretty much locked 4k30 Ultra settings (i gave up on stable 60 fps). I am using the 1080ti HDMI out to a surround sound receiver to my 4k TV, so both audio and video are going though the HDMI.
The game plays completely fine for the first hour or 2 of play, then starts to have extremely inconsistent frame-times with multiple fps drops per second. Each frame drop is accompanied with an annoying audio glitch especially while rotating the camera. Based on what I can tell, it's not a temperature problem since everything stays under 60 degrees. Restarting the game doesn't do anything to fix the problem (even if I wait 5 minutes), nor does turning down graphics settings once the issue starts.
The only way to get normal performance back is to restart the computer. Restarting the game does not fix the problem. Is this a memory leak or page file issue?
Any one had any similar issues? Any ideas for a fix? I'd rather not have to restart my computer every hour for the many hours I hope to play this game.

Guys, I've managed to get the settings to a sweet spot that allowed me to get 4K@30FPS in a locked way with a 6700K and 1080 Ti.
Now, I have a question, you guys say that RTSS is ruining HDR. I've both ON right now (The 30 FPS ingame limitir sucks, it gives me way too much stuttering), but I can't see any problem so far.
Can someone describe what is wrong with both RTSS + HDR?

It will be crazy washed out and the colors are all wrong. It should be obvious. Haven't tried it since the patch, though, so maybe it solved the issue?
It will technically be correct if I use the Special K mod to limit my framerates right?
Was Kaldaien banned from the Steam forums entirely - or just the Assassin's Creed forums?
He was banned from the Assassin's Creed Odyssey forums, the reason given was this:
The most likely situation is that trolls (usually pirates) mass reported his thread and a forum moderator actually believed the trolls this time...
Which is complete BS.

Totally stupid and false. I remember that there was a guy in his thread that he was saying he was violating the EULA etc. This guy didn't stop. Especially Kalaiden is doing it for the community and this is his thank you for that. I wonder if he will continue doing mods or he says fuck it. I could understand after this case.
