New Glitch

[Ansgar Odinson]

Since the latest patch I am having an issue where the game hangs or sorta pauses while looting chests and opening doors. It doesnt always do it, but often enough to be an issue. Game was running flawlessly on my system till the latest update.

Anyone else have this issue and or figure out how to fix it?

So this is weird. I made a post about it 5 hours before the patch. Once the patch hit it stopped for me. So there is some problem that used to be there for some and not there now. It might have to do with overlays. Try to disable overlays including ubisoft. I still use steam overlay.

Tried turning it off, on, and back. No luck. I think I might be stuck with this glitch.

I have the exact same problem on the UBISOFT version as well. Hopefully they fix this problem soon.

Same problem random micro freeze when interacting, including stepping on to viewpoint.
Didn't happen for me before patch

This is happening to me, can't find a fix.

Temporary fix for me = Virtual memory (terrain) on medium in the settings = no more freezes when looting or interacting.

Hello everyone and thank you for reporting this issue for Assassin's Creed Shadows.

I am sorry that you're experiencing this problem since the hotfix was released.
I would like to investigate this further. Could you please let me know the following info:
- PC Specs (CPU, GPU, RAM, Windows version)
- Screen resolution and refresh rate
- GPU drivers version
- Are you using any third party antivirus/firewall?
- Have you attempted any troubleshooting steps?

@Sakuro thank you for sharing this workaround!

I would also like to ask if you experience this issue as soon as you start the game or after playing for a while and if this issue becomes more or less evident, depending on the season.

Thank you.

Thank you for your Answer.

Still have some freezes with this option but you will find the information bellow :

- I7-14700K for the CPU
- RTX 3080 with the last drivers installed
- 32 gb of RAM
- 4k resolution with DLSS on quality and frame generation on at 60 ips.
- No extra firewall with the last windows 11 up to date.

I did not have this issues with the first update (day one). I tried different settings lowering them but did not succeed. Just put the game on high priority with the task manager and lowering the terrain virtual texture seem to help...
