--set TDP to 6W --set max GPU freq to 800Mhz

Game runs perfectly smooth at 60fps with these settings and should extend battery life drastically.

--Initial launch fails with an error after signing in to Uplay --Closing and launching again works, but it prompts for password in Uplay every time --Game then crashes due to Uplay overlay seemingly at random

--Due to 3rd party launcher workaround cloud saves do not work via Uplay --initial save data can be loaded prior to workaround (if you have a uplay save) --Steam does not provide cloud saves either

--game crashes constantly if the Uplay overlay is not disabled

Uplay prompts for password on every launch and the overlay crashez the game constantly

To fix... --launch the game in desktop mode, once launched, minimise the game and open Uplay --in Uplay, open settings and disable in-game overlay --also disable ANY of the other notification settings --now set Uplay to "offline" mode --ignore the warnings and once set, close the game and Uplay --launch in gaming mode and it should now work perfectly
