[xxxxTAT4NKAxxxx]

any solution?
i figuired out that the game chrashed (almost) every time i hit F12 to take a screenshot.
so....i dont take screenshots anymore.
but now it crashes randomly over time and the ubi launcher starts synch my save game. wth?!

[xxxxTAT4NKAxxxx]

yes. sorry but the troubleshooting is a joke...

[Josh Randall]

you don't have to blame Ubisoft....they put all the budget of the game, in the launch trailer...to sell dreams to people. The trailer...it's the only thing in the game that works...

it crashes constantly. AC Unity has the same issues!

[Pierry Chan]

Crashes Galore. Very dissapointing.

I can also confirm that my frequent crashes seem to line up with a " AchievementsDownload.cpp (237) Unknown file extension for achievement." line in my logs.

Had the same issue. I set the refresh rate to match my monitor and it stopped the crashes. Hope it helps.

worked fine yesterday now it keeps crashing over and over

[SupercanelP085]

I tried this, it worked for me
Youtube-Link
I also first uninstalled my c++ 2015-2022
Installed the one from Valhalla

and also set the property in the valhalla.exe to always run as admin

I had a problem yesterday and today I did one thing and for now, it's fine, but I don't know - maybe it's a coincidence.
So what I did?
First, you have to know that I have GeForce and in my custom settings, I set up max 60 fps for Valhalla. Yesterday I had a lot of crashes and I read that the game maybe has a problem with different fps between my monitor and the game (my monitor is 240hz but I set up 60 fps on GeForce settings).
Because of that I went to settings in the game and set up v-sync and max fps on 60.
Effect:
- GeForce settings: max 60 fps for Valhalla.
- Game settings: V-Sync on and max 60 fps.

Today I didn't have any crashes.
I don't know - maybe it's because of that settings and it will be working fine, or maybe I will get crash soon.

[krzysztof.rz.byd]

Ok, I can tell that it's not working :D I got crash once again.
It looks like that's a problem with Ravensthorpe and around

And last update from my side:
I have purchased GeForce now for a month in Ultimate Edition - I was wondering if maybe that game will be working fine on another PC and I will play by cloud.

Yeah... sure. I played for around 1.5h and... crash :D
Ubisoft, great work. Next time I really think before I will buy something from you.

it seemed to have started after a geforce driver update, so i rolled back to the previous version seemed to have worked at first, yesterday zero crashes. But just now i have gotten my first crash

[Beo]

Yo, after recent update of the geforce driver it keep crashing more or less, wtf is going on with the game ? even rollback help a little bit but not eliminated the problems.

Heres what I did to stop it crashing its a long list.
1. As said before cap frame rate set to 75fps.
2. In graphics settings reduce clutter to high or medium.
3 . In documents\Assassin's Creed Valhalla\ there are two cache folders delete them every time, before you launch the game.
4. Delete shader cache every time before launching the game. Its in global settings advanced in the AMD drivers. Not sure for Nvidia.
5. Disable Xbox game bar in settings for windows 10 or 11
6 Disable game mode in settings.
7. Got an overclock on your graphics card, yep remove it.
8. If you have the steam version do not launch it from steam. Load Steam first then launch it from Ubisoft connect.
Why this has so many problems I dont know. Far cry 6 which I completed was rock solid.
Good luck.

How do people even play this game with this level of stability? I just came back to it after a few weeks thinking it's about time I finish it and uninstall it for more games - it crashed within 10 mintues and that's the fastest I've ever crashed in this game
