However, even then, while running the HD texture pack at 4K, players have been facing some FPS spikes. The textures and graphics get cluttered and create strange low rez textures. This also resulted in some lag spikes from 40 to 80 FPS which made it lag pretty badly.

This problem might be faced by many PC users around the world, and one easy quick fix has been found right now.

This is to disable the Ubisoft Connect, which is the overlay service that connects Ubisoft’s loyalty program and apps. Disabling this overlay resulted in the problem fixing itself and the FPS returned to normal and ran more smoothly. This seemed to be the source of the problem for the FPS.

  • To do this, players need to run the Ubisoft Connect with the “.exe” file access settings from the top right.
  • After this, simply uncheck the “Enable-In-Game Overlay” under the General menu.
  • The Overlay will be disabled and players can continue playing.

However, the players cannot connect to the Co-Op or multiplayer features after disabling this Overlay. Players must also be wary that this might not be the solution to their problem and this is an optional fix that can work in some situations.
