Fixing the “Lagging/Stuttering” PC issue in Assassin’s Creed Mirage

As mentioned, there are no permanent solutions that you can try to improve frames in Assassin’s Creed MIrage, but here are a few workarounds that you can try to deal with the issue that you are facing:

---

1) Update your Graphics drivers

Irrespective of the GPU that you are using, one of the best ways to solve FPS problems in any game will be to update the drivers to the latest version.

2) Disable Ubisoft overlay

The Ubisoft client overlay might be a great quality-of-life feature; however, it seems to be one of the reasons that is causing severe lag and stuttering for many in the community.

To disable it, you will need to make your way to client Settings, then under the general tab, untick the “Enable in-game overlay for supported games” option. Restart the game once that is done.
