Ubisoft
Support tweets a support hint, saying that performance issues in its games
may be caused by third-party software (thanks
DSOGaming). The tweet points to
this list of programs possibly causing conflicts. The idea is to party like
it's 1999 and kill off these background processes, many of which are
specifically game related:
The following list of examples is not
exhaustive and advisory only:
Fullscreen overlays |
Overwolf |
Hardware monitoring software |
MSI Afterburner, Riva Tuner |
Peer-to-Peer software |
BitTorrent, uTorrent |
RGB Controllers or game optimisers |
Razer Synapse, SteelSeries Engine |
Streaming application |
OBS, XSplit Gamecaster |
Software impacting applications |
f.lux, Nexus Launcher |
VPN software |
Hamachi |
Video chat services |
Skype |
Virtualising software |
Vmware |
VoIP applications |
Discord, TeamSpeak |
We also recommend disabling experimental features available through NVIDIA
GeForce Experience and Radeon Settings.
