Well, can’t play origins anymore

[Zenata08]

So I got bored of some games and decided to play some AC again . Origins then valhalla then odyssey( my favorite )

After a year break from origins (beat it all) I am trying to play through but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥…. The crashes! I can’t even get through a cutscene with Arya! Sometimes I can skip cutscene and that works . But then 2 minutes later I could randomly crash!

This ran perfect last year! My drivers are updated and everything is fine . Yes I already looked up solutions/ roll backs etc and it’s not helping!

How do you guys deal/avoid the crashes and wtf is it happening so bad after all this time? Sorry for the rant.

Update: going to try some very old driver rollbacks and see if those work. I really want to replay origins again but man the crashes :(

I would suggest using DDU. This will completely clean out your display driver and ensure a clean install of the driver you want to use. Just like it would be done for the very first time on a new OS.

Here is a link to DDU. It explains what it is and does. It also has a guide. Make sure to follow it if unfamiliar. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4387

You can also try DXVK. Which may help with the crashes as it has helped others. It converts the game to run Vulkan instead of DirectX. Here is link: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.1

Copy the following DLL's from the x64 folder to the Assassins's Creed game folder - d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll. Don't copy the Direct3D9 and 10 DLL's - this results in the game not starting up.

See if those suggestions help.

Also, please post your full system specs when asking for tech help. It will help the community and Ubisoft support give you better suggestions and things to try.

For example. If you have a NVIDIA GPU I would tell you to do not use display driver 531.18 or later. As there is an issue that directly affects Origins with crashes and has not been resolved. So others have reported sticking with 528.49 and can play the game again.

Lastly, If you are still using Win 7 it is no longer supported. You have to find workarounds. I am not sure if they still work, but here are some links to help guide you in the right direction.

i feel your pain, im stuck at the cutscene with the Soul Eater but i am no where near confident enough in myself to roll back graphic driver updates. RIP my solo game that was supposed to pass time until Survivor.

528.49 is the one you want. It's not complicated, promise.

You know...... This didn't used to happen...

When will people wake up?
