Crashing after AC Shadows release

[Dh'oine]

I swear to God this game worked just fine before the release of AC Shadows. For the last few days Valhalla has been crashing like crazy. I can't play 15 minutes without the game having a problem. Coming from Ubisoft, I don't think it's a coincidence at all.

Ye they want probaly force to buy new trash, or stupid always online DRM requere server resources for new ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, so servers are overloaded (yea offline single player games need always online DRM)

Try, turnoff internet if it works, if doesnt DONT buy Ubi game ever again

There are good historical/fantasy RPG games like WItcher 3 or Kingdom come 1 2 DRM free, (no online requirement or stupid launcher) , you can even tak it on USB and take it with u when u travel... try GOG com store for DRM free games

Game used to run fine for me as well then suddenly didn't with random crashes. If you have Discord running whilst playing it might be what is causing it, it was for me.

DIscord recently updated it's overlay and it silently reset all the overlay settings, so it enabled it for all games. Making sure the overlay was disabled for this game stopped the crashes completely. I'm guessing it doesn't play well with Ubisoft's overlay or something.

Lack of interpretation is a real problem these days

Hi Dh'oine,

Apologies for the late response. I'm also sorry to hear that Assassin's Creed Valhalla has suddenly started crashing.

If you are still experiencing this could you go please take a look at the troubleshooting listed below, and go through any of the steps you may not have tried to see if that helps:

- General PC troubleshooting[ubi.li]
- Clear Ubisoft Connect cache[ubi.li]
- Clear Steam cache[ubi.li]
- Ensure your game is running on a dedicated GPU[ubi.li]rather than an integrated GPU.
- Launch the game in Windows compatibility mode[ubi.li]if you are using Windows 11.
- Perform a SFC scan[ubi.li]
- Reinstall the support software[ubi.li]
- Ensure that the game is installed on the same drive as Ubisoft Connect and Steam, if it isn't already then you can move the installed files then locate the installed game files in Ubisoft Connect[ubi.li]

However, if the issue persists could you please confirm your PC specifications.
