Ce faci? ^^, first if the audio freezes for you, It might be because you play with hybrid stuff on, as in : mouse/keyboard and controller, when you move the mouse it freezes and audio stops, if not, some people said their issues were fixed by tweaking the virtual memory ( or at leasthow it's dealt by windows 10), here is the link

@netqvist hey there, are your stutters like micro freezes at the beginning, and the more you play the more it becomes like total freezes ( which can last up to 8 seconds), cause that's what I've been dealing with along with the memory leak, I've got 32 Gb of ram and the game manages to scale up to 11Gb even on the map... i noticed also that the stutters occur on a regular basis ( every 2:30 minutes for me)...
Have no idea what is going on with this game

@timocl yeah but that kind of stutter last only half a second or so, and the audio stops too, with me the audio remains steady, and if i keep playing the game ends up freezing like 8 solid seconds
every 2:30 minutes

got the game on Ubisoft +, it plays smoothly for a bit (60fps), but then the freeze occurs, it stays for a second then goes away, only to come back after a couple of minutes.
Every time it happens ,the freeze gets worse and worse ( reaching up to 5-8 seconds) had few crashes too, i noticed also what I can only qualify as a memory leak, as my RAM usage on the game reaches 11GB... I lowered the settings, drivers are up to date, verified the files, reinstalled the game, fiddled with the antivirus, nothing works, can you help me please?
the game is stored on an SSD
