Players of Assassin’s Creed Shadows have encountered a notable limitation: the game’s cut-scenes are restricted to 30 frames per second (FPS). This can lead to a disjointed experience between gameplay and cinematic moments. Fortunately, there’s a mod available that allows you to remove this FPS cap, improving your overall experience.
The solution involves downloading the latest version of the SpecialK Mod. After installation, add Assassin’s Creed Shadows to the mod’s game list and launch it through Special K. Once you’ve done this, you should enjoy uncapped frame rates during cut-scenes.
This FPS limitation raises questions about Ubisoft’s decisions regarding the PC version, mainly since these cut scenes use real-time graphics. The situation hints at possible rushed development processes for this version.
A previous analysis highlighted some key performance issues with AC: Shadows on PC. While the game shines visually when settings are maxed out—with Ray Tracing effects—it struggles significantly on older graphics cards, particularly those from NVIDIA.
If you’re experiencing underwhelming performance on NVIDIA hardware, it may stem from driver complications that need addressing. Players have also reported ghosting problems related to DLSS 4 and various visual artifacts with Multi-Frame Generation modes X3 and X4.
Currently, Ubisoft has not released a patch for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, so we remain uncertain if upcoming updates will introduce important optimizations for PC users. We’ll keep you informed about any developments moving forward.
