Assassin’s Creed Origins

Can someone please explain this to me regarding this game and the anti aliasing settings. Now, we know that it doesn't describe what type of AA solutons it uses, the only settings are off, low, medium or high.

Given this and Without going into massive details, the thing that's really annoying and confusing me is that when AA is set to "off" performance and FPS is lower than with any other AA setting. About 10-15% lower!

"Low" provides the best fps, medium and high slightly worse. Low, medium and high are all terrible though as they blur the screen and textures so I'm assuming it's some form of TXAA anti aliasing. I'm currently using low but with a simple sweetFX profile adding a sharpen filter - at a really high setting of 2.10 (way higher than I would normally ever use, but it needs it). This is ok ish, but there is terrible 'ghosting' around the character when panning the camera with low aa, or medium, or high.

WTF is going on with the AA in this game? Why on earth would AA set to off have lower performance than AA low, medium or high? It makes no sense whatsoever, and I've never seen this phenomenon happen in any other game, ever.

(1080Ti with a 5930k at 4.4Ghz by the way. Not bottlenecked or anything.)
 
Never really played an AC game before. Maybe an hour or two of Black Flag which ran like crap and got frustrated/bored with all the chasing!

I'm a few hours into Origins and I'm loving it. Runs as smooth as buttered silk on my 4790K @ 4.5GHz & GTX1070. The game, IMO, at this early stage anyway, is very, very similar to The Witcher 3, which is nothing but a good thing! remember I said IMO! :)
 
Well the god fight is much easier with a legendary composite bow that returns health on each hit! Didn't even lose me first bar of health. Forgot I had that bow :D
 
Its all the little touches they have put into this game that keep amazing me.
I rode my horse off a drop into a river for the hell of it, and myself and the horse survived and swam to shore separately:)
 
Haven’t played an AC game in a few years so still getting back into it. How do you remap the controls? Maybe it’s a console thing but I can’t see it in the options.

And how do you make the horse go faster? There is no option for this in the menu either.
 
There is a control section in the menu. Its easy enough to find.

The horse/camel only gallops when in the open areas. It won't gallop in the towns.

Took out my second phylake. He was in my baliista sights and kept coming forward so it was easy pickings
 
Early days but this game is really good so far. Looks great, plays great, seems to have been ported over really well. Pleasantly surprised and can’t wait to dive back in for the weekend.


Any beginner tips? No idea what I should be putting my points into, still getting the hang of all the systems. What to focus on at the start? Apart from exploring the beautiful gameworld.
 
Big init :)

Since I'm level 15 and cannot do the trials can we play them later? I've been slogging away and not hitting the recommended 40 level. Be a shame to miss them all just because I haven't grinded it.

- Keep legendary equipment and don't upgrade every time you level up
- don't worry about where points go, you can fill all tiers
- weapons that return health can be useful in big boss fights
- don't use the target lock feature
- weapons that set enemies on fire can keep them occupied for sometime
- horse is faster and better than camel
- fights while on horseback are very easy

The map is Huuuuuge. I thought the starting area was the whole thing.

I know, I remember getting to the open map and thinking how huge the map was. After exploring the second area I then realised that it was still barely a fraction of the overall map, a lot of which the main story never takes you to.
