@as1r0nimo https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/122484/pc-consistent-stuttering-low-fps-whilst-navigating-the-in-game-menus-post-here/31?lang=en-US it's the same as this one regarding on opening the menu a few times, I even posted a video about it.

@mipala Yep, this one.
Couldn't find that topic, so i posted video.

Looking online I do not seem to be alone with this problem! I have played FC 6 for over 80 hours with no FPS issues at all. Now however (presumably after an update), I can play for around 10-15 minutes after which the frame rate crashes and the game becomes unplayable. It seems that opening the map / menu speeds up the framerate crash. Drivers are up to date. It makes no difference which graphics settings I use - 4K or 1080 = same problem!

This is infuriating and has rendered the game useless. Are Ubisoft aware of this common issue and when can we expect a fix?

I cannot believe that after 4 freaking months of this being an issue the developers STILL can't be bothered to fix this issue, but can be bothered to finish and release DLC and fix problems with the Game Streaming versions of the game. Absolutely abysmal support. I already refunded the game and have been checking the forums month after month to see if it's been fixed (So I can buy it again) and it still hasn't. I actually had to buy a copy on console just to play, and I made damn sure none of the money from my purchase went to Ubisoft. I will give another cent to Ubisoft on the PC platform until they learn that PC players are not second rate fans and deserve to have the games they pay for to be OPTIMIZED, and COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL, just like console.

@mancmatt
There are 2 threads about that already.
The cache is overflowing, and sweeping menus makes this faster. So, the least you use menu, the longer you play.

Just to add here, maybe it will help to identify the problem faster.
This [censored] problem is tied to menu/map. Because if i DON"T open map or any other menu, including inventory, there is no problem at all. I played for 1 hour straight easily.
But, if I open menu/map multiple times, than 5 FPS [censored] comes in in like 10 minutes of gameplay.

@ubisushivamp there are tons of them already.
The problem comes from using in-game menu, map, inventory.

Idk how much more info you need to identify the bugged code. The engine creates layers of menus, which results in crippling performance once it's reach the critical amount. How and why - we don't know. But the problem is there, that's for sure

@ubisushivamp 3 Month's on and your still asking the same questions... how's about some Free content to compensate us?..

Hello guys,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Please understand that with FPS issues, as there's no guarantee the team will encounter the same performance problems, it is key to collate as much information regarding the setups of impacted players as possible.

This includes collecting system files, which allow the team to help establish trends and find what may be causing these performance dips across player's systems.

We are continuing to forward reports made here, but system files would be incredible beneficial in helping us actively investigate this further.

Thank you for your understanding.

What system files would you like?

Just FYI, this problem has not been fixed in todays large update (Mar 22, 2022) and is still not even mentioned in the known issues. Sad state of affairs!

Was able to do the primary insurgency and maceo, then airdropped near the final base. When things are loading (gold star spinning in the lower right) it dropped again to ~3-5fps and took forever to load. After finally landing, it went to ~10fps. Not playable. Restart required to continue.

@altenbach Thanks for confirming that. You saved me time for downloading that patch.
Although, just to make sure, can someone confirm that issue is on a completely full install?

I'm just afraid, that this issue can be tied to the blurry texture fix.

@ubi-gizmo

Hello there,

i have similar problem with configuration Ryzen 7 5700g, 32gb ram, 3060 ti 8 GB Vram.

When i restart computer, everything is running on maximum details with 70 FPS (VRAM consuption in Graphic settings is around 5 GB's). After 10-15 minutes of playing this VRAM consuption is improved to 9,33333 GB consuption of VRAM and FPS are frozen somewhere between 2-10FPS (Last time it started during cutscene).

Please optimize your game...Or let us know how to fix.

Thanks in advance

Hello again,

one more point, if i take all settings to lowest possible option in graphic setting, also doesnt help (dont have downloaded HD textures -not used).

Thanks for help

@ubi-thrupney I am currently on the laptop, will submit the files later.

• The slowdown can happen at any random time in the game (e.g. during a battle or explosion or just driving around).
• The slowdown happens faster if browser windows are left open when starting the a game. Normal gameplay up to ~30 minutes is possible if I close all browser windows before starting.
• Most often it happens when/after going to then menu or map for the N-th time (N>>1).
• Often, the slowdown is first noticeable when the gold circle (with the star) is spinning in the lower right, i.e. when it is loading something. Saving (pages flipping in the upper right) is fast, then the gold circle starts spinning for a few seconds. Occasionally, that spinning slows to a crawl, fps drop to <<10% of normal (~3-5pfs) and takes much longer. After that, all gameplay is sluggish.
• So what happens during spinning of the gold circle? Loading of new textures? I can imagine contention issues to to priority inversions and unintentional race conditions. Maybe parallel tasks try to unload old textures and load new textures at the same time, stepping on each others toes?
• Since none of this was a problem until the update late last year, can't you do a code compare? Hopefully the code is sufficiently modular to surgically replace a small section. I would be happy to test any such version.

I have (rarely!) seen similar slowdowns in other games, but not during continuous play as in FC6. It can happen if the program is minimized to do some other work, then it is sluggish after restoring it. Not sure if that's the same root cause.

For me it's 100% the HD textures that cause this, I have less than the recommended amount of VRAM for HD textures could that be the cause?
