is there suppose to be a key spawn near him? I cannot find a key anywhere. Unable to pick pocket the man, the girl wont leave so I can start over. I fast traveled away. restarted the game, came back and she's still distracting him.

@strunkero To no avail, its not helping. I have had some luck closing the game completely and restarting once the stuttering gets to an annoying point. Once it starts, the longer I play the worse it gets.

This game is poorly optimized, the amount of stuttering is unreal.

My Specs:
-Intel i9 9900k AIO cooled
-Nvidia ASUS RTX 2080 Super
-32gb Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz
-Asus Hero Maximus XI wifi MOBO

Temps are nominal and GPU/CPU are hardly under load YET ubisoft cant seem to release a game without having major performance issues across all platforms. Aggravating enough to post my first forum. The constant FPS stuttering is outrageous. Cinematics basically do not exist because the of the performance issues having a fast forward effect on the whole game. $60 POS
