This game should have never been released on GOG in the state it came out back in 2008. As most of you may know the game was a huge flop on PC because back in the day DRM free meant "it's okay to pirate it" instead of "thanks, I'll support this company". As a result patches never came to the platform and the Epilogue DLC was never released on PC, Ubi just abandoned the game like it was the plague.
And this is where the problems come in: PoP 2008 shipped with a giant memory leak that makes performance worse and worse as times goes by + the CPU utilization is not good at all so even until the effects of the leak kicks in it can dip below 60 fps even on an older i7. You can also face lots of small bugs here and there, sometimes voice acting audio will cut off near the end of sentences etc.
The bottom line: fuck Ubisoft for not caring about the port anymore, 9 years should have been enough for fixing the issues and releasing that goddamn DLC. Also shame on GOG for allowing faulty products like this one being sold on their store.
