it's not a placebo. I have tb forced for every game with vsync on.
It helps with vsync drops and helps reduce lag

What for?


Well, there are a variety of reasons for all of this, but I'll just spell out the effect it has on Assassin's Creed 4.

Without triple buffering on, pretty much wherever I look the game drops to 30fps and stays there. With triple buffering on, the game runs at about 58-60fps, dropping to the high 40s occasionally.

So essentially it's a 30fps difference in most scenes.

To force triple buffering on in a DirectX game though you'll need something like D3Doverrider. The setting in the nvidia console only works on OpenGL games.

I don't know why some people have the double-buffering issue in some games and I don't. I can play AC4 with vsync enabled on my two 570s and WITHOUT triple-buffering enabled, yet not get the 60>45>30 incremental steps. I can probably recall two instances in the last 3-4 years where it's happened and AC4 definitely isn't one of them.

I'm also thinking that the 1.1 "patch notes" that were in the leaked Chinese release earlier this week WEREN'T actually pertaining to that game, perhaps the 1.1 patch hadn't been done yet? I don't know, but what I do know is that performance is drastically improved over the Chinese release... 10-20fps difference and no, that's not an exaggeration. So much so that everything is on High/FXAA/Soft Shadows/HBAO+/Low God-Rays and I'm 55-60 at 1080p, whereas I had to lower to 900p earlier in the week. Oh and no, I'm not running 331.82 "AC4/Rivals Game Ready" driver either. If I increase "Environment Detail" to V.High it plays around 50-53fps. Substantial improvement over the earlier release Shocked

Aye, legit version direct from Uplay - finished downloading a couple hours back but I've been busy with other stuff, only just now got around to playing. If I turned off soft shadows and put it back to "high" and set "environment detail" to "high" as well, this would be a solid 60 - even at 1080. I can't take any screenshots though.. FRAPS and Uplay both take black-screen images and prntscrn only copies what's on the desktop, not in game.

Curious.

~edit~

SLi scaling is near perfect too, 80-95% on both cards, something else drastically improved from the Chinese copy - and, again, not using the 331.82 drivers. I'm still on 331.65.

I had to force Triple Buffering in AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations - none of them allowed any framerate between 31 and 59.
This was fixed in AC3, so d3doverrider was not needed for that game.
ACIV seems to be a step back in that regard

Go to Medium diff seas and start attacking all ships which transport 80-100 rum and/or sugar. When you fill your cargo hold go sell the goods and you will be shitting money. Thats the easiest way to make money. You can make 20k+ for like 30 min.

I think that with this game it will be the first time I pass on Vsync.

I just can't get steady 60fps with my 680GTX unless everything is set to low...

Usually it's one or two effects which cause dips, but with this game it seems different.

Game launches on old laptop but no on PC. Any idea?


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

I thought the map automatically showing chests and Abstergo icons was part of the cheat DLC (called Time Saver or something) unlocked by the 3DM version. But I just installed the Reloaded version (which I thought didn't have any DLC activated) and it has the same shit.

So that's just how the game is? No real exploration/searching at all?

I don't remember how the other AC's were (never played much of the third one) but didn't you have to buy in-game maps to reveal those things?

the icons are revealed if you synchronize from a viewpoint and only in the area of the viewpoint...the problem before the 3DM crack V9 was the icons were revealed even without synchronizing

Oh I see. I thought synchronize points were just to mark key locations like shops and things like that. I should have just stuck with the 3DM version then, since it had the Aveline (sp) DLC.

Are there additional hidden objects/activities, like in AC2 where you had to find some computer code on the side of a building and enter a mini-puzzle game?

Is it possible to use 3DM update and crack/fix on the RLD version to unlock the DLCs? Don't want to download the game again Surprised
At least in the dlc_x folders are files with RLDs version

edit: tried copying over all files from "v1.01 Hotfix 2 Update Plus V8 Crack" on the RLD install, but .exe crashes instantly with an exception Rage

did you remove steam_api.dll first?

and try with 3DM V9 since the reloaded version already has the hotfix...( i didn't try myself just some logical guess)

Ah, this I'm interested in too.

Although I have to say every time I log into uplay with every intention to buy AC4 deluxe edition , online only fleet mechanic instantly comes to mind and I log off with disgust. Very Happy
