Okay, since the last post about this apparently died off and it is still a thing, there are no cloth physics in the game. No one seems to be able to answer whether it is intended or not. This is a cross all platforms. All long armor sets are glued to the legs and the cape is basically cardboard. I don't understand how a AAA game in 2021 can be released with cloth physics from 2005. Look on any youtube video with game play to see what I'm talking about.

It's not just the cloaks. It's all cloth physics. The valkary set, for example sticks to your legs when it should be flowing. All long clothed armor sets have zero physics. It's like we are back in 2005.

@ubi-raziel why have you forsaken us, ubi-raziel? Must we sacrifice a goat in your name for answers?

@ubi-borealis damn the one game they are supporting for 2 years and they are just like, "yeah, [censored] cloth physics, [censored] immersion, and [censored] you". Just absolutely astounding that a AAA title that you pay over 100 usd for doesn't have such a basic [censored] feature. And then they're going to put out of this long armor to highlight the fact that they don't give a [censored]. Someone [censored] on their porch and burn it because that's basically what they did.

@ubi-raziel has there been any traction on this?

@ubi-mark thank you Ubi-mark. I'm hoping that the same issues that were causing cloak stuttering were the same issues causing no cloth physics. Will update if issue was fixed with the patch that releases today.

it also just ruins the new Altair look as well.

Dang, I really hope this gets fixed with the next update. All the new leaked outfits look like straight [censored] because of this. The egyptian outfit will DEFINITELY raise some eyebrows for people that played origins.

@tyranusvader I truly wish it was that easy. I don't use Bluetooth since rdr2 had an issue with it a few years ago. I use wired controllers.

Okay, so I didn't see this anywhere else and have been having issues with it for months. I have been encountering hitches in very specific locations. By hitches, I mean the frame rate will drop to 30 fps from 70/80 and it's an extremely noticeable studder. In specific places, is well, specific places. Like I can encounter the hitch, go back to the same spot and get it again.
Ravensthorp is covered in these spots basically making out front of the long house unplayable. But I encounter these all over the game world.

I wish geforce experience overlay was working properly for me so I could record them, but I cant even upload the phone pictures because "they're too big" If I had a nickle for every time I was lied to with that line.

@ado148 sounds like it's all connected to me. It is definitely causing drops and hitching for me. Gives them a place to start looking if they actually feel like ever fixing anything for PC.

@devourcolossus look at the frame graph in the top left side of the video as the graphics change and you'll see, very visually, the FPS drop.

@ubi-theberry i think i may have found the cause. I think the hitching in Valhalla for PC is due to graphics lowering themselves. I do not have adaptive anything on and it still lowers graphics on it's own and the hitch happens at the same time. I believe this to be the cause of these specific and random hitches/FPS drops. At least for the ones happening in the settlement. look at the wood in this video as a very specific example.

@ubi-theberry yes, back in may.

Ticket # 14684206

@ado148 hey! Finally back with my main rig and can confirm that after this update, the issue still persists. Not necessarily in those specific places anymore, and definitely feels more random but still getting hitching and FPS drops on High settings on an rtx 3090, which just goes to show how poor the port is. Having lots of hitching in the river raids as well, but I chalk that up to unpolished release as always.

@ubi-baron nevermind. It just crashed and will no longer read my save. I give up.

@ubi-baron hey, so I think I actually fixed this. So it is either the uplay version of the game or the version of ubisoft connect.


I switched to the steam version and rolled back to the Uplay before it changed to Ubisoft Connect (this was the temporary fix for the online issues). No longer have the issues.


So either way, it is something to do with the ubisoft launcher.

@ubi-baron what's crazy is that this has been an issue since launch and ubisoft refused to fix it. It's been 8 years. Surprised they haven't been sued for it.

@xlastovi I am also having this issue on windows 10 and none of the work arounds work. At all. I'll get steady fps for about 5 minutes, then a cutscene or loading screan happens and it just goes to hell from there. Stuttering and just all around unplayable. Everything was perfectly fine until I left Havana, then I have to restart and run through the list each time it starts stuttering.

Glad people still care about this slap in the face.
