GAME STILL FREEZING

[Smokey <<AD>>]

Well the game is still locking up randomly, cannot play it for more than ten minutes, I have to go to task manager and stop the game, got all the updates, running an amd ryzer 7 or whatever it is , 16 gb ram, gtx1080, so it is not my system. Was this a waste of money? or is there a fix, UBI doesn't seem to care less.

looks like it has not been solved as yet, waste of money for what could be a good game. oh well, Last time I will consider UBI games for a while.

Hey man, mine is fixed. But I tweaked so much over the last month trying to figure it out that I can't be certan what fixed it for me. I still get occasional stuttering, but now in stead of freezing in those moments it just stutters and recovers.

The one thing I did that I am almost the most certain did the trick was removed any and all GPU settings (like basic performance tweaks in GPU tweak etc.) and then did a completely clean install of my GPU driver, restoring all settings in card to default. I'm pretty sure this is what got it working, but like I said, I can't be sure. Its no excuse that Ubisoft makes such fragile games, I agree, but at least you got hope of getting it working. Your system and mine are nearly identical in specs and power, and we had the same symptoms so I'm sure you can get it working.

I've put in around 30 hours of unfrozen gaming in now. I'm also hitting a more stable frame rate in game I noticed, with less graphical hitches and frame drops. So something with the drivers started playing nice.

one other thing worth mentioning I suppose, but most likely doesn't matter is I locked my PC power plan to high performance, just in case there was a strange issue with the game and the way the PC adjusts clock speeds dynamically.

good luck!

I completely reinstalled windows 10 and even the drivers etc for everything, a clean reinstall, loaded the game yet again, froze after a minute or so, no, I have given up on this game.

I really wanted to buy the game and this free weekend has helped me to reconsider my purchase. The game freezes all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time for a bout 3 to 5 seconds without any logic (on foot, driving, using the drone).

[lord.hamad]

I found a way ( somehow !!) , it limited the freezing to frequent hickups

1- Go to your windows firewall settings / if you have norton go to the settings ==> firewall
then block the game GRW.exe fom accessing the internet ( this will disable the online features sadly ) you have to pay a price for purchasing a game with poor customer service.
2- set your graphics card frequency static at full power all the time ( use for EVGA Percision for Invidia ) I am not sure about AMD cards applications, other guys might add any information about it.

blocking the game from the internet will not block Uplay and will still get game file updates

now every 2 days I unblock the game so it can sync the save file with the one online
Such a pain

same thing stutter and lag almost like the game forgets it a game or cant find a file and went thru the same with Ubi$oft, i7 4770 Gtx980ti 16gb ram 2 SSDs and 3tbblack

instaled to see if any one found a fix, if it happens again unstaling and forgeting about it like the division, too little to late, and went with a cod hord mode copied the wrong game should have been a gow rip off would fit better

Huh?

My game has been rather smooth so far with tweaked graphical settings and playing at fullscreen. You can use CPU-Z and then do a 'benchmark' then submit and compare to create a browsable link to see your specification online.

Unlike other people I basically just take the ultra setting of graphics and tone down various settings to gain back frame rates, then tune the resolution setting to 1.2 a bit to smooth the pixels, aiming for a sweet spot of fps that doesn't stutter under load.

I also do a undervolted tuning of my GPU at average level clockspeeds due to the game being GPU heavy than CPU heavy (CPU is at 20%), to lower the thermal headroom while keeping the performance the same or better.

A Sapphire RX 580 can be undervolted somewhat decently, if you have a good silicon lottery, to around 1040mV, from it's default level of like 1150mV max and you reduce the temperatures a ton.

My gameplay times are around 2-3 hours of play session so it's not a heating issue, I have a silent case too with modest airflow.

Since you are using a GTX 1080 (non Ti version) why don't you ask if other users with similar cards are experiencing the same problem with all GPU intensive games, not just this game.

Maybe something defective on your GPU is occuring, as there are some rare cases of GTX 1080 shooting out flames from a voltage regulator chip due to cheap parts being used. Because most consumers don't actually remove the PCB from the other components due to warranties, you can't tell if your GPU is physically busted until it's too late.

I have the same problem, I haven't completed even 2 Hours of playing and the game started freezing every time, sometimes at the start menu and sometimes within the game play, I hated this so much, its really frustrating,

I updated Nvidia latest driver, GTX 1080 on I7-6850K
I play the witcher 3 , rise of the tomb raider, Metal Gear Solid V with the highest settings and everything is fine, IT IS JUST THIS GAME !!!

I did notice that when connecting to the internet the freezing happens instantly after starting, when I disconnect the net the game starts normally then freezes after like 10 minutes

which means ( in my theory ) if I am not mistaking that UBISOFT planted something that regularly connects and scans your data and gives commands as well, in other words ( spying )
once disconnected; the engine will automatically tries to connect every 10 minutes or so and the freezing happens again.

in any case, the behavior is suspicious!

Witcher 3, Tomb Raider, and MGS5 are not 100% GPU intensive, they are all generally balanced with the CPU in optimal load level. Witcher 3 CAN be CPU intensive rather than GPU intensive based on the settings you choose.

If you want to see GPU intensiveness, play a Cryengine game and those freezing issues may occur again.

Speaking of which, Wildlands is on the same principle as the other games Ubisoft makes, so if you experience this on all Ubisoft game, try to disable the Uplay overlay?

Since the GTX 1080 is the only GPU that seems to be mentioned, the problem therein may lie with Nvidia's drivers since there is a lot of fishy stuff happening with this 'high end' GPU that RX 580s and Vegas has no problem handling, even if the TDP and thermal level is higher.

It's also funny... This game is a 'Nvidia Way to Play' optimized program, and it fails the GTX 1080 of all things, but Nvidia's competitor GPUs like the AMD Radeons have no problems...

Oh if you've heard about the GPP, it's basically similar to the 'Nvidia way to play' program that Nvidia uses to monopolize the software industry, it's not just 'GameWorks'.

I have Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 , its based on CryEngine , never had any issue with the graphics even tweaked GPU

for UbiSoft, I have FarCry 4 , never had an Issue either, only Wildlands have such painful issue !!

game is a pos when it comes to performance.

5:55 and 11:25 ^^ might be some interest for some of you.

Personally I've had a smooth experience with GRW at very high/ultra settings with a variety of gpus Rx 580, gtx1060 and gtx1070.

Same here, had an issue with an early GR game but we go that sorted out, no thanks to UBI who were no help at all, now I have reinstalled wildlands and played a bit the other night, so far fingers crossed, the annoying thing though is that I downloaded and installed the free one episode from UBI and played off of Steam and no issues, now we will see how it goes with the full paid for version, yet again, on steam.

try capping your fps starting from 90,85,75,65 and so on ... for me 85 stabilized it and no freeze/crash yet , also better temps
