Fixed my random crashes

Hey everyone,

Tl;dr: borderless windowed makes the game crash on Windows 10, switch to fullscreen.
Might be because of Gsync but not sure.

Like a lot of people, I had crashes in AC Valhalla, completely random, can happen 5 minutes into the game or after 3 hours of play, with some areas crashing more (Cent, Suthsexe, Hamtunscire among them). Had maybe 30+ crashes while playing the campaign so it's not a one-off.
On Windows 10 so it's not the W11 update related crash.

After fiddling with many graphical options, trying other methods found on youtube or reddit, I finally found the culprit. Borderless Windowed. Switched to Fullscreen and I could play 30 hours without any crashes, which never happened before.

PC specs:
Ryzen 5 7600
Rtx 3070 ti
32Go RAM
Display 1440p with Gsync enabled on borderless window.

Graphical options:
Mix of high/ultra, locked 60fps
Graphic drivers up to date
I ran the ingame benchmark quite a few time to be sure no ingame option would be the culprit.

As you can see my PC is not the problem, unlocking Fps I have fluctuating 80-100, so I didnt want to lock at 90 and have dips in the 80.
I play all my games borderless windowed. I have Gsync enabled for that mode. This might be the cause of the crashes ? But not sure.

Hope it helps.

Doesn't work for me on both NVIDIA desktop and Radeon laptop. I'm stuck and stealth mission where I have to storm a stronghold with fake vikings. On any machine with any settings it crashes anyway.

This location causes crashes on any hardware with any settings: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3394902023
