@umilton The stupidly coded game engine keeps a large amount of buffered memory. Which means, that if you don't have very high pool of Vram, these buffered placeholders will pop up. Either you have 4 gigs or 10 gigs. The only difference is WHEN they pop up. The engine DOES NOT use RAM properly, that's why instead of load additional buffered textures there, it creates a useless buffer on Vcard. So, we have 60+ FPS at 4k, but with textures from DOOM 2.

Funny thing, that when you are using integrated Vega cards, you have enough memory to load that crap, because it actually uses RAM. Idk, how bad those programmers could be, since it's the first game with such horrible implementation of Vram management i've seen in my entire gaming experience (since 90s). I mean, it could work for consoles for optimization purposes, but for [censored] sake, we are playing on PC. So make the game work properly on that platform before releasing it. I'd rather wait for a few month, then spending money of this sht.

@mofalon It's not a decision, it's an incopetence. This should not be happening at all, since we have RAM and Virtual memory. So textures SHOULD LOAD IN ANY SITUATION. Vram is fast, plus lower speed memory will decrease overall perfomance, but textures MUST LOAD.

Btw. For those, who are keep saying, that 4/8 gigs are not enough, so hardware is a problem. Stop it.

First, if you DON'T have enough Vram space, than you will experience Stuttering, not texture losses. Since the chip will simply wait for ram, while it loads additional info. Or, you will see poping up textures here and there. But not constant blurring while staring at the sky with 90 FPS.

Second, if VRAM would be the problem, than ALL textures will suffer at the same time. You load the game, everything won't have high res textures until it loads out.

Third, IF YOU DON'T have enough VRAM, than the engine will start accessing your RAM. And, since the speed of DDR4 is way lower than GDDR5/6, you will see a lot of stuttering, alongside popping textures.

So again. New DX12 render is broken. Or unfinished. It can be ok on one hardware and [censored] on another. My brother has 570 8gb, and textures on weapons are fine, while clothes and guapo look like textures from fallout 1

@devilkazuya83 The problem is with the engine not loading textures. Actually, it loads them, but doesn't apply. That's why you have your Vram loaded, but textures are horrible.
This issue is really [censored] up.

@devilkazuya83 I think, we need to create a whole out request for a refund coz of that issue. I've wasted 3 hours of my playtime just to test it in any ways. So I didn't even enjoy the game (or play it).

Hello guys.
I have a question about stats and is there anyone who knows how they work. Because devs added a very confusing stat screen in game.
I mean, Crit chance 100. It's obviously not a %. So what exactly is the crit chance in reality?
Additionally, Greatsword shows damage of 128. How much it is in reality? Because with weak attacks i deal ~20 damage to an enemy (scaling +30). And way higher, like 60-80 damage to enemies in river raids (scaling to my level).

Google gave me a lot of similair questions on reddit, but zero answears.
Can Ubisoft add real numbers of our stats in upcoming patch?
PS: i don't care about "game is easy, why do you need to know that, etc." I'm asking for info about stats, not for stupid mumbling.

Your final damage consist of:

(((Base weapon damage + All Weapon damage you have) * Total weapon damage) * (Crititcal damage+ headshot damage, if happens)) * Amplify damage (multiplicative between each other).

So. Assuming you have lvl 40 Sawed-off. 620k damage. For example, you have 100% Weapon damage from everything. So, it's 1240k damage. Assuming, no talents or sources like Total weapon damage/Amplify and no crits/HS. Optimist gives you WEAPON DAMAGE.
So, thx to formula, after you shoot 1 round, you have a bonus of 15% of WEAPON damage. So, it's 115% instead of 100%. Final damage will be 1333k. Yeah, that's it. You get only 7% boost from the talent.

Most of the weapon talents gives you WEAPON DAMAGE, which is additive to your base weapon damage (core atributes on gear, spec talents). Unless it says AMPLIFY or TOTAL WEAPON DAMAGE.

For example, Ranger AMPLIFIES your damage. Good rule to know, if something has a conition to work based on the enemy - it will be an amplifier. Sadist, Ignited, Ranger, etc.

UPD: the game has rounding up to integers. So 1% plus or minus.

UPD2: Weapon damage is additive to Weapon damage only (including base damage). Total weapon damage is a *1.X and additive between themselves. Crits and Headshots are *1.X, but they are additive between each other. Amplify is unique, it's a simple *1.X each time, so having 2 aplifiers it will be A * 1.X * 1.Y
Examples of WEAPON damage: Memento backpack bonuses, core stats, most of gun's talents, like Optimist or Pummel.
Examples of TOTAL WEAPON DAMAGE: Vigilance talent, Concussion talent, Wicked talent.
Examples of Amplifier: Spotter, Glass Cannon, Striker gear set's bonus, Ranger talent, Sadist talent, Lady Death's talent, Striker shield's aura, Damage to armor/health/out of cover.

Speachless? Sure...
But most of your post is pure subjective opinion. Idk, why bother.

The problem with NG+ in Valhalla is that you have all the gear. There is nothing else to discover.
Imo. Shadow of War type of NG+, where you simply replay missions/chapters - would be better for this AC game.

@bladerunner4077 Who the **** put a like to you?
The game simply can't stream textures right 100% of the time. That is the engine problem, not ANY hardware.

@dagrommit
New content after a year of nothing - it's obviously will be Paid DLC. And I hope, that it will be paid, actually.

@xlastovi Well, it depends.
For example, if you have a lot of crit damage, it's OK to stack Weapon damage. It will be multiplied anyway.
On the other end, stacking Weapon damage on something like Shotguns, with low crit damage by default - meh.

All skill mods need a rework, not a buff.
I'd rather go with ALL SKILLS have only 2 mods (1 visual and one utility). And the quality of mods should go up to exotic.
For example, exotic mod for Striker/Healing drone would be a double drone. While high-end and lower gives you stats.
Or Flame turret gets an exotic buff with 360 degrees and puts a debuff on enemies, that increases their incoming damage to armor by 25%.
Or Explosive sticky gets a shrapnel utility, that goes after the explosion with additional damage and setting enemies bleed. For every bleeding enemy your next sticky will deal 10% more damage.

You got the idea.

Not gonna happen.
Too many skills, variants and mods.

@ndatass You never learn.

Devs already stated, that they can't increase enemies in encounters (at the same time) bacause of:
1) AoE funfest
2) problems with perfomance on ps4/xbxo.

@mofalon It's not a decision, it's an incopetence. This should not be happening at all, since we have RAM and Virtual memory. So textures SHOULD LOAD IN ANY SITUATION. Vram is fast, plus lower speed memory will decrease overall perfomance, but textures MUST LOAD.

@nemanja_99 1k$ Vcard is somewhat RTX 3070 right now. It's not even close to 100% of stable full textures.

Just a tip for those, who are still strugling with these quests.
Named enemies can be found in:
1) Missions - bosses.
2) Random romaing bosses. There is a list of their spawn locations.
3) Bounites.

For those, who don't know, if you want a bounty, just look for the hostage rescue mission. Finishing it will give you a bounty. They can be in different locations, but overall - just lurk for them. You will get what you need eventually.
