It was a problem in both Origins and Odyssey. It's happening in Valhalla too. The gameplay runs at stable 60 FPS for me, but once some cinematic cut scene starts, i get heavy FPS drop. Why? The cut scene is happening in the same environment i was controlling my character at butter smooth 60 FPS before the cut scene triggered. Well, unlike in Odyssey, in Valhalla it's happening only in those truly cinematic cut scenes. Not in those simply conversation ones. Well, i just started the game and didn't see much yet. I saw heavy FPS drop only in the first cinematic cut scene so far.

Yes, i can't see weapons in cut scenes too. And it's a really shame, because i just got heavy dual wield skill and started using dual heavy swords. It looks really cool on Eivor's back. Like Witcher. And now it's so noticeable every time when cut scene starts, those cool swords on the back disappear. Please, fix.

@vlada757 Just wanted to post this. It's happening with the camera distance. During the gameplay camera distance, the details of hair are reduced, but when you try to get closer to the head with camera (like using some wall are something), the hair details are full again and you see the whole hair as you should. The hair drawing distance is simply too short. It should be fixed.

When i'm moving in the world, like traveling on horse or simply from place to place, the game sometimes freezes for like half second on the way and then it's normal. I think it's loading the map too slow or something.

My spec:
Ryzen 7 3700x
32 GB RAM
GTX 1080

95% of the time, the game runs at stable 60 FPS for me. And i run it on SSD drive. The normal one. Not M2 one.

Please remake these forums. If post doesn't get attention withing few seconds, it becomes dead.

I sent a ticket to Ubisoft about this and nothing. So i'm asking again. Are you aware of this issue, Ubisoft?

@redindianrobin No, it's still the same. And i really believe that they are locked at 30 FPS and run at inconsistent frame pacing. Because as i already said, it doesn't matter where the camera is looking during cut scenes or what is happening on the scene. The camera can look strait up at the sky and the FPS would be the same. Even at lowest graphics settings, these cut scenes has still the same low FPS.

Uploaded another good example. The short beginning before the cut scene, you can see smooth 60 FPS as Eivor approaches the door. But then the cut scene starts and you can see the massive frame rate drop.

Ubisoft, please, acknowledge the this issue!

I just tried to start new game and rushed for the Emergency aim skill ti see if anything will be different. And nope, the skill is still broken, even if i start from the beginning.

Please, some other people with the same problem reply. Is this bug really so rare? Is there no one else with the same problem? Did you guys even test this skill? Why is this thread ignored so much?

@ubiexcellent So i just uploaded a video of the very first cut scene in the game, the one with little Eivor.

Until 0:07, you can see small part that runs butter smooth 60 FPS, because it's not the cinematic motion-captured cut scene yet. At 0:07, the screen goes black and the cinematic motion-captured cut scene starts and you can immediately see the FPS drop. Then in 2:12, the cinematic cut-scene ends and i can control little Eivor again with the smooth 60 FPS again. Until 2:26 when another cinematic cut scene starts and with the same FPS drop again. At the end of the video, after the final cut scene, i recorded a small part of gameplay with just rotating of the camera, so you can see that during the gameplay, i get smooth 60 FPS again, despite a few seconds ago, i was getting FPS drop on the same place during the cut scene.

As i said, there are two types of cut scenes. The conversation ones, where you sometimes have the option to choose from dialogs and the cinematic cut scenes that are motion-captured. The cinematic ones are more rare. Only in the cinematic cut-scenes the FPS drop is happening, not in the conversation ones. And it doesn't matter which cinematic cut scene it is. Being simply cinematic cut scene is enough. And it also doesn't matter what the camera shows or what is happening on the scene. Even if the camera was looking into the sky, it would still have the very same FPS drop. And the graphics settings also doesn't matter. Even at lowest, these cut scenes has the same FPS drop. I think it's because this type of cut scenes are locked at 30 FPS. And yet the frame pacing is inconsistent. Why? I want it to run same smooth as gameplay.

Now, you got the video you wanted. Can you please fix it, so that these cut scenes would run the same as gameplay? Thanks.

And the skill is not fixed after update. No one else with this problem?

And in the upcoming update 1.0.4, the Emergency aim skill will not be fixed, as it is not mentioned in patch notes. Because this thread was not seen by Ubisoft. Which i really don't understand why.

Bumping it, because i want it to be visible.

@blurredexistent I had the very same problem as you. But then i tried to reboot the game while i was standing just outside the inn and the problem was gone. Perhaps i was just lucky.
