hi everyone, here is my problem, i hope you can help me or a developer fixes it.

Graphics Card
- 5770 MSI HAWK

AMD Catalyst Driver Version, and Driver History
- 12.9beta

Operating System

- 64-bit; Service Pack1 Windows 7

Issue Details
- since the first time running the game, it stutters on ubisoft logo for 2 or 3 seconds, every 2 seconds. but that's the minor part. the biggest problem is that this happens in-game. it isnt' random, seems like there are some actions that lead this to happen like, when sword stacks an enemy.- game is set as high as posible at 1080p, no antialiasing is permitted at that res.

i've posted my error on a forum and 5 users had exactly the same issue with a different game version.
- i will post a video later.

- i5 2310

Motherboard BIOS Version

Additional Details
- pretty sure system is clean of viruses.
- of course system hasn't any hardware problem, it's the only game with this error, i play bf3, crysis 2 and other much more demanding games.

thanks mates, i will appreciate your help.

As far as I know it's a problem with the ubisoft servers. The game calls home very often during gameplay, though this fact is not well-known. The server issue makes these calls too long thus disrupting gameplay.

Rumor has it, blocking the game executable with your firewall fixes the problem.

thanks for the reply, i've tried blocking the exe, but didn't fix the problem. as i said, the problem seems to have a trigger, like, just when finishing loading game, just when sword stucks on enemys, that kind of actions made the game stutters

Try unplugging your network cable. Your firewall seems to be crap and lets the game through. If it still doesn't help, then I am mistaken. But the internet is still full of this issue.

You can also block the following IP adresses through your hosts file:

216.98.48.18
216.98.48.53
216.98.48.57
216.98.48.133
216.98.48.134

Redirect them to 127.0.0.1 localhost.
