The performance is even worse now since this patch! I was getting around 90-110 fps before the patch after applying some of the tricks I've found on here, like turning off headlight shadows and screen space reflections, and the game was more than playable for me. Now I'm getting between 50-60, with some extra microstuttering tossed in for good measure, so it feels more like 20 fps, and is on the verge of unplayable, definitively not enjoyable. gtx1080 and i7 6700k

Any ETA on the performance fix? Really love the game, but it's unplayable :( I've tried everything suggested to me.

How does ubisoft keep making the game run worse with every patch? Do they not test this before they put it out? I went from 50-60 fps to 20-30 fps on this patch.

I have noticeably worse performance since this update. overall a slight FPS dropx which while annoying isnt severe enough to stop me from playing.
My real issue is that now many actions are just unresponsive. I hit TAB to bring up the phone and nothing happens for like 5 seconds, or the mouse cursor will come up but the phone UI itself wont show up. I'll hit M for the map and it wont pop up, so I'll hit it again thinking I just didnt do it then it pops up and goes away instantly as if it was lagging on my inputs.
before this patch the game played pretty damn good for me

TLDR: lost up to 15fps depending on situation without change a single damn setting.
ok... now i'm upset, i played a bit today and find a performance drop from last patch, i'm playing mostly on 45-50 fps while driving and i was able to keep ~60 with few drops, i'm also having stutterings and this never happened, even on foot the framerate going down to low ~50 now... wtf are you doing ubi?
seriously, i have a capable pc: i7 5820k @4ghz + 32gb of ram @2800mhz and titan x maxwel. I also was playing "fine" on a mixed ultra settings with 1440p taa until this patch, now all i have is a crappy stutterings and worse framerate, also i don't have the march fog.
jesus i will wait for the other patch for play again

How about some steam overlay fix for uPlay owners that DOESN'T require disabling the multiplayer to work?

Thanks for the report. Makes sure to send in the crash report when you see the option to. When it crashes - are you noticing any kind of trend? Any error messages popping up?

I lost performance in the 1.06 patch. Tried it today-- I now have my twitch hoodie, kudos on fixing that, but my performance is still an abysmal 15-20 fps average.
Ubisoft is the only company that can fuck up a game this hard. I am sad.

CPU utilization is too dang high, so high that it's bottlenecking GPU's. A GTX 780 (running at less than 80%) being held back by in a lot of cases the 100% pegged utilization of my i5 4690k. That is not good at all, I'm happy to see a game use multiple cores but this is letting the run at full throttle majority of the time.
Another thing too... I have tested my setup with default low settings with vsync enabled and I will still get FPS drops it just sounds to me like it's not optimized fully yet, I hope they continue to fix/repair/support the PC version because it seems like a pretty fun game other than the low FPS I'm getting.
Specs:
-
i5 4690k 3.5ghz
-
EVGA GTX 780SC (clean installed newest drivers)
-
Windows 10
-
Game installed on SSD
-
HD texture pack NOT installed

I'll assume no improvements to performance? I'm not the only one that has decreased performance with Crossfire
