I'm going to change the name to System128 and make my computer faster!It's fine. Pretty much everybody's on a 64-bit architecture now. Just be careful not to delete System64.
I mean when the dev is blaming the most common programs around as the reason why their games continue to run like shit, yeah people are gonna say stuff like that. Might as well ask to unistall the browser too, have just uplay.exe and latest_far_cry.exe as the only things on your computer.Shit like this is why less and less devs hang around here. Congrats on making this an even less welcoming place.
Noone is blaming anything, this is like the most basic troubleshooting stuff imaginable. You're getting mad at nothing.I mean when the dev is blaming the most common programs around as the reason why their games continue to run like shit, yeah people are gonna say stuff like that.

Havent played any of the shitty generic ubisoft games in almost a decade and now I got another reason to keep it that way, thanks.
Yes, let's flame on devs so they don't bother with this site. Let's see you do your own game that doesn't cause issues.What a crock of shit. Ubi is really showing their ass here. Lazy motherfuckers.
Fun facts!It's fine. Pretty much everybody's on a 64-bit architecture now. Just be careful not to delete System64.
I got Blackwidow keyboard recently and didn't even bother installing the Razer software lol. Less bloatware the better.Maybe I should uninstall Razer Synapse. I had no idea that RGB stuff affects games like that
😬
RGB softwares are jankiest shit ever. They fight with every other software.

Just because they are common programs doesn't mean they don't interfere with games.I mean when the dev is blaming the most common programs around as the reason why their games continue to run like shit, yeah people are gonna say stuff like that.

It's kind of funny how matter-of-factly they've written this list without getting into the 'why' of things for users to explore and better understand.
With that said...
...so with the exception of the listed VoIP applications (which i'm gonna use period unless they outright break shit) and the streaming applications (which are generally known to impact performance if they're running on the same computer that the game is), that list just seems like a solid list of programs for PC novices to single out when troubleshooting performance/network/stability issues - even if the list itself is unfortunately bereft of explanation for why those programs might be causing such issues.
That's not to excuse Ubisoft games for their apparent bugginess or instability (though I don't actually play enough Ubisoft games on PC to have an opinion on them one way or another). Just saying that as someone who's been gaming on PC for a decade, and troubleshooting throughout, I'm familiar with scenarios in which many of those programs could (and have) caused issues with games.
lmao that's true

So you see, it's not Ubi's fault their games run like crap. It's you trying to use exotic programs like Discord or Skype, see?
that and the SysWOW64 folder from what I gatherJust removed explorer.exe but still having problems. Maybe deleting the system32 folder will help?
No disrespect but how does every company on the face of the planet mamage for their games to work fine while running something like discord but for ubisoft its an issue?Yea, not sure what this thread is going after. The post and the information makes sense.
* 4 categories in there try to interfere with and inject into the renderer and are known to cause crashes that devs sometimes have to work around.
* virtualisation can obviously install not great drivers and interfere with networking as it can create very weird NAT setups if set up badly.
* VPN and similar apps completely change the underlying networking infrastructure on the machine.
* p2p apps can congest traffic on the PC, breaking matchmaking rules and similar gates that have been set to provide a better experience.
* voip apps can also inject into the renderer by doing picture in picture.
The info makes sense.
This place could really use less shit posting like this thread.
plenty of games have issues with PiP overlays, not just ubisoft. Every game I've had performance issues with recommends disabling the PiP in their "help/FAQ" pages.No disrespect but how does every company on the face of the planet mamage for their games to work fine while running something like discord but for ubisoft its an issue?
Discord completely fucked my ability to play League of Legends for example so no every company on the face of the planet cannot manage that.No disrespect but how does every company on the face of the planet mamage for their games to work fine while running something like discord but for ubisoft its an issue?
So they should have said overlay? Cause discord is not just an overlay, its not even its primary function and i've never heard of anyone using it outside of big groups where people dont know eachother like in wow raids. I doubt that many people are using the overlay while playing ubisoft games.plenty of games have issues with PiP overlays, not just ubisoft.

... but the article say's it COULD be an issue, not that IS.No disrespect but how does every company on the face of the planet mamage for their games to work fine while running something like discord but for ubisoft its an issue?
I like to keep the amount of overlays I use to a minimum sure, albeit sometimes it's difficult when every publisher wants to include one of their own -and even go so far as to patch older games that were bought on Steam before they had their own launcher to retroactively now require it - like you know, Ubisoft titles.I never used Discord for gaming, but after hearing it has an overlay (makes sense since streamers use discord for some bubble feature so you can see who's talking during gameplay), it makes total sense
Overlays in Windows causes issues with the amount being used. They seem to fight with each other,
....huh? You don't need to use BPM to use SteamInput with non-steam games, you can just configure the controller through Steam's desktop UI.and I wonder why that is (for my own sake as overlay is tied to some games ability to work with Steam Controller which uses it's own overlay unfortunately). If only there was a way to play non Steam games with Steam Input without Big Picture mode activated, even some native Steam games need BPM to get Steam Input working (Street Fighter V for example).
Programs aren't identical, otherwise there would only ever be one program in existence.No disrespect but how does every company on the face of the planet mamage for their games to work fine while running something like discord but for ubisoft its an issue?

I get that. But it shouldnt even say that in the first place. Yeah maybe it can but you should be able to solve this. I dont have indie devs telling me i should turn off discord because it could be an issue and multi billion dollar ubisoft does? I find that rather unacceptable.

im not upset, i couldnt care less about ubisoft games, i just find it ridiculous.It's a bit strange that you're this upset about Ubisoft giving advice that you'd probably find on most tech forums too.
I hate to defend Ubisoft because I do think they don't put enough care and attention into their games, but in this case they're just being helpful. They can't possibly optimize their games to always be compatible with ever-changingthird-party software.

My only premise is that if discord COULD affect your game so much that you would recommend disabling it then your game is not worth playing to ME.
I had just typed up a very long reply about your previous comparison between a multi billion dollar AAA studio and indie studios but I deleted it because I got so worked up about it...im not upset, i couldnt care less about ubisoft games, i just find it ridiculous.
