KB5066835 Windows Update slashes Assassin's Creed Shadows FPS

Performance crashes plaguing Assassin's Creed Shadows have been traced to Windows Update KB5066835, which Digital Foundry confirmed can slash frame rates by up to 50 percent on high-end hardware configurations. Testing on systems equipped with Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors and RTX 5090 graphics cards revealed catastrophic degradation that NVIDIA has addressed through hotfix driver 581.94, offering players immediate relief without requiring removal of the problematic operating system patch.

Ubisoft has simultaneously deployed Title Update 1.1.6, introducing limited-time Attack on Titan crossover content featuring themed equipment and a collaborative story mission. The update grants protagonists Naoe and Yasuke access to each other's signature combat techniques through a new side quest called A Puzzlement.

The title launches on Nintendo Switch 2 next week, following what the publisher describes as strong commercial performance.
