Upgrade your graphics drivers

This is one of the most essential steps to take care of before playing a new game like Assassin’s Creed Mirage on PC. Many times players completely ignore their GPU drivers and keep using the same old driver version they first equipped their PC with.

Make sure to head to your GPU manufacturer’s official website and download the latest driver version. Not only this is beneficial for running AC Mirage on PC, but also for any other game that you can possibly think of.

Lower your in-game video settings

One major reason why people suffer from low performance in Assassin’s Creed Mirage is their in-game settings. If you have a low to mid-range GPU, it is possible that running the game on the highest possible settings can be too much for it. Lower your graphical settings in the game’s menus a few notches and then reload your game to notice a significant improvement in performance.

The ideal Assassin’s Creed Mirage settings for low to mid-end PCs are:

  • Graphics Quality: Custom
  • World Details: Medium
  • Clutter Density: Low
  • Shadows: Medium
  • Volumetric Clouds: High
  • Water: Medium
  • Screen Space Reflections: Off
  • Environment Textures: Low
  • Character Textures: Medium
  • Depth of Field: Low
  • Motion Blur: Off
  • Adaptive Quality: 60FPS
  • Upsample Type: Nvidia DLSS
  • Sharpen Strength: 100%

Make sure to keep your graphics card updated and check the game’s system requirements.

Disable the Ubisoft client overlay

The Ubisoft client overlay might be a welcome addition to Assassin’s Creed Mirage, but it is also a reason why many people are suffering from stuttering and lagging in the game. To disable it, simply make your way to the Ubisoft client settings, and uncheck the “Enable in-game overlay for supported games” option.

Restart the game once you are done and you should be noticing a difference in the game’s performance. This was everything you had to know about fixing stuttering and lagging in AC Mirage. Ubisoft will likely release a patch soon that addresses these issues, so until then, make these changes to have a good time in the game.
