When fighting, I assume certain enemies, probably on horses, when they charge, my framerate drops considerably. Other times, my framerate is acceptably high. I have not experienced this before the Paris DLC. Video:

So like the title says, whenever I encounter the new cavalry type enemies my fps tanks for a while. After the fights it returns back to normal. I play on PC via ubisoft connect. Other than that the game runs fine. And please do something about the constant crashing. It is getting very annoying.

@Ubi-Mark I've been experiencing this as well. My game normally runs relatively stable at 65-75fps. The moment I encounter one of the Heavy Cavalry units, my fps plummets to 25-30. It specifically happens when they're moving about in close range. The fps is stable whenever they're idle or not moving at all, no matter the distance. So whatever the reason for the fps drop it seems to be related to the horse and rider moving simultaneously.

@ubi-borealis I have the same problem and it only happens when fighting the horsemans.

I've noticed a huge frame rate drops while fighting with mounted enemies in Siege of Paris DLS.
Is not noticeable while fighting with only one, but when 2 horsman or 3 charging you at the same time - then frame drops apears.
As more enemies do this at the same time at the same time, the greater the problem became.

Cannot record video to proof of right now, but i will try in the future.
If anyone notice same problem - report here please.

the same thing happens to me too. please Ubisoft fix this as soon as possible. I haven't seen this in the objectives of the next 1.3.1 patch.

Re: [Siege of Paris FPS drop when getting charged](/topic/102861/siege-of-paris-fps-drop-when-getting-charged)

This issue, which remains unfixed just like many other Siege of Paris issues, is still being encountered several "updates" later to the game. Exactly as the video in the previous post shows, I am experiencing the exact same frame drops when being charged by ANY amount of Heavy Cavalry units in Siege of Paris. Oh, and also the inability to "sprint" on horses is still present as well in the DLC. I have done every "fix" given for BOTH of these issues and nothing works. Please fix this jank game, it really is fun at times.

@sixpounder85

Can I chime in?
Do I start a new thread?

This same plague hits everyone. Not just some EVERYONE

I cant even aim a bow at more than 2 horseriders.. the game lags so far down it becomes unplayable.
Oh but wait its OUR fault.. we have programs running or outdated gpu drivers or vc redists... ugh

Same with no running.. sprinting in this DLC and only this dlc is BUGGED.. everything in this dlc is bugged to high heaven
BUT WAIT... lets NOT fix this as ubisoft... instead lets release MORE dlc and CHARGE more for it! YEAH!

Any sense to this madness.
PS I also get many many crashes, less since the overhaul of the game though. BUT all bugs still persist as NOTHING was fixed

PLEASE MEND your games ubi
anyone out there from ubi land care to reply to this without saying please read this article and follow steps that dont affect anything?
no ? didnt think so.. just keep trying to sell new dlc, before fixing the core game AND the dlc for it.. that makes Soooo many people TRUST the quality of the new dlc right? LOL

any input would be great.. as this France DLC is NOT PLAYABLE even at 1080 res. LOWEST all settings. so its the game, NOT... the users

@ubi-milky
make that the 1.4.2.0 patch
and please stop telling people its them or us or our machines.
Your game is broken. Everyone knows this
Out of all of them this is by far the worst one

FIX the dlc.. fix the core, BEFORE releasing new dlc. Honestly charging anyone for new dlc is sick when you havent fixed the other dlcs
nor made an end to the hidden tombs.
nor fixed ANY UI GUI or overworld bugs and issues
river raids arent playable, save before every raid or fear for you life in the game
some things can never be completed
and the no talking to npc bug still persists ENDING the game for anyone getting it. You MUST erase all data and start over 100%

PLEASE respond to this terrible dlc
dublin worked well.. why did you avoid france?
AND why do you people keep thinking this is a user issue
You as ubi sit there and play the dlc.. not on the 10,000$ machines.
YOU WILL see these issues RUIN the game.

Siege of paris is BROKEN
fix it.

It is February 2023 and I just encountered the same problem. 90 FPS anywhere else, Heavy Cavalry charging, now below 30 FPS. Makes reacting to them almost impossible.
Horse not running? Bug is also still there.
Quick Google search to this post now tells me that Ubisoft (or whoever manages this game) just doesnt give a damn about the customer, but frankly sells you more Helix Credits for their mess.
