[2020] [Crash/Freeze]Performance issues and memory leak

So i am not sure what causes this. I myself only have 2 things as an idea to what it is but would like help solving it.
1. I am so far in the game that there are so many things for the game/PC to handle.
2. I dont have enough RAM. I have 16GB.

My system is as follows
I7 8700K at 5GHz
Geforce 1080 TI
16GB PC3000 corsair RAM
And the game and windows run on SSD (Seperate SSD's)

Hey! I'm sorry you're facing this issue, we will do our best to help you.

Your PC specs and your RAM look perfectly fine to me. RAM may be required more when facing a large amount of things onscreen, but 16GB should certainly be enough.

- Are you perhaps able to provide a video of this issue, with the FPS counter enabled? This can be enabled in Ubisoft Connect's settings
- Do you experience the lag shortly after loading your save, or does it take a long time?
- Using Task Manager or any other application you prefer, are either your CPU, RAM or GPU experiencing very high usage? (you answered this for me)

For troubleshooting steps, I would like to suggest the following -

- Update Windows
- Update video drivers: https://support.ubisoft.com/faqs/000025720/
- Disable background applications: https://support.ubisoft.com/faqs/000025721/


I hope that helps Coelbyte!
