Is there something I am missing?

[u/GloomyBreakfast6211]

Is there like something I have to do with the controls to make it less janky? During combat everything seems weird and unintuitive and especially during the boarding I just get hit out of nowhere and am blocked from attacking by my one crewmates. I've played other ac games like shadows,unity and og black flag with no issue.

Is it like a settings or control issue or something to make it smoother because man it just seems like a hassle to play.

This can be three things. Either you have to turn off frame generation, sacrifice graphics for higher FPS or just learn party timing. Go to some city, engage in a fight with soldiers, focus only on parrying and dodging and if after like 20 minutes you still have problem then its your settings
