Wasn't there like this "workaround" to fix some of the lag issues where all you had to do was not go online to play it? I believe the console versions got 5+ fps and the PC version got like double the fps when people did that so if thats true, yes, it might not be the # of NPCs, but rather Ubisoft's bullshit DRM
