Crashing after xx minutes
Any solutions to this crashing issues yet? I rather not play with borderless window mode, so don't even suggest it. :)

Game crashes after 20-23 minutes of play. Doesn't matter if I'm running dx9 or dx11. Also there is no way to re-install the game without downloading it all again which is unacceptable.

I've heard the 1.03 patch screwed many people over and no way to revert back without a full re-download.

Same here. Crash after 27-28 min. I have tested all possible fix (editing .ini, change gfx settings, dx9/11, reinstall...), but nothing work...

I just want to play, where's the patch who let us play, Ubi? Where!

SP or SvM?

SP. MP doesn't even work for me. Can't connect. Had that problem since launch on top of this problem.

I bought this game through Uplay. That's why it isn't showing in my profile.

Didn't know about this, single player is rock solid for me (3 even 4 hours straight when I'm trying to beat 5 or 10 waves of Charlie's missions). But SvM is another story, sometimes it works during the whole gaming session, sometimes it starts crashing every 20 or 30 minutes until I reboot my PC. Still don't know the exact reason.

It works if you set Uplay to offline mode.

Anyone crashing in Guantanamo Prison? I haven't had any problems up till now, crashes when transitioning to save points.
edit: got past it, jsut kept reloading and retrying. Cloud saves are off btw.

I have the exact same problem as the original poster. After 23 minutes of play, without fail, this game crashes.

I have changed the DirectX settings from DX11 to DX9.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Uplay.
Edited the videsettings.ini multiple times.

No matter what I change the outcome is no different. 23 minutes and crash. Anyone have anymore ideas for a fix?

As do I. Also tried all suggested fixes, to no avail. SP crashes after 25-30 mins. Contacted Ubi support via their website, was asked to send dxdiag and msinfo32 files.

On a side note, I also suffered the uplay crashing after registering DLC on DDE of the game. Ubi support deleted the DLC key from my uplay account, and I am finally able to play the game, until it crashes, of course.

If I may suggest, all who are having issues, please contact Ubi and let them know. The more complaints, the better out chances of them looking at the issue and issuing a fix.

I love the SC series, but every single one has had issues on PC, they are eventually worked out, and the game becomes playable.

Thank you Stonga! It seems that your suggestion of playing with uplay offline, has indeed allowed me to play for an hour and 10 mins! I actually got to finish Grimm's first mission! WooT WooT! A big tip of the hat to you, sir!

I'm glad it helped. :) Achievements is disabled in offline mode though I think.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I thought I was the only one who crashed at 23. 23 different flavors of rage and spite, am I right?

That and saves, but hey, least we can play the single player right? It's only half the game :c

Thanks though, beats the ♥♥♥♥ out of having something unplayable to enjoyable.

Yeah, I found out about the lack of saves when I fired up the game again. Started me right back at the very beginning. What a disgrace. Now gonna inform ubi and see what they have to say. Man this is infuriating...

Good luck with that! I've spent three weeks trying to explain Ubi tech support that their Uplay offline mode doesn't allow the game (AFAIK only Steam version of Blacklist is affected) to create/load/update a savegame file. They still don't believe me.
