A Far Cry 6 player may have discovered a way to boost the game's performance, simply by turning off an overlay.
In a post on Reddit, user contrabardus said that while playing on PC, they disabled the overlay for Ubisoft Connect - the service that ties together Ubisoft's loyalty program and desktop app - in an attempt to get rid of a notification bug.
Doing so reportedly "bumped up and stabilized my FPS significantly [...] I went from getting just below 60-ish FPS with dips as low as 48, to around 70-ish and no dips below 60." The user says they were playing on a PC with some impressive specs, but that they've been playing Far Cry 6 "with every graphics setting maxed out."
To turn off Ubisoft Connect on PC, you'll need to open Uplay, open the menu in the top-left corner of the screen, and head to settings. From there, under the 'general' tab, uncheck the "enable in-game overlay for supported games" box. If you've currently got Far Cry 6 or any other Ubisoft game open, you'll need to restart it before any changes take effect.
