AC origins freezing!!

[JonWooh]

why the hell this game keeps freezing after an enemy attacks in the starting area. Ive been searching on the internet how to fix it turns out its all pile of bullshlht. This is the only game i got issues unlike odyssey, valhalla who works fine on my laptop.

Specs:
Ryzen 7
Gforce rtx 3050
16gbram

Because developers don't respect us. Also the game freezes, this is the only game with this problem.
Where can I go to get my money back?
ryzen 5600
rtx 4060

Same stuff.
Ryzen 9
RTX 3060

It is because of the windows 11
update 24h2, no problems on 23h2

My game freezes also (sound goes on..).

This is not a windows 10/11 problem.
It's a problem caused by Ubisoft.

Why can i be sure about this?

I played Origins in 2021 without problems on Win 7.

I tried this week to play Origins on the same PC with the same windows 7.
I didn' t do any update on this windows 7 since more than 7-8 years.
Nor did i do any update on my GFX drivers since 5-6 years on this old PC.

That makes it clear, that Ubisoft f**ked one of the updates in the last 3 years.

24H2 BRO...

I am using Windows 10 (specifically Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045) and the game freeze for 2 seconds, then unfreeze and I can continue. This happens intermittenly every time I play the game. So, if I played for 30 minutes, I'd face this small freeze for about 10-15 times. Pretty annoying. It feels like the old times when the game is reading from a slow hard disk, and so the game freeze but I am using a Samsung 990 Pro NVME M.2, so I don't think it is the SSD. I hope a fix is upcoming, otherwise, its pretty annoying to continue this game.

Odyssey and Valhalla also crash from time to time due to the latest Windows update. But truth is they did even before that for various reasons depending on the users config.

If you are on Windows 11 24H2 than you have bad luck since it doesnt seem like there is any working fix available outside of installing an older Windows version. At least none I could find. Its up to Ubisoft or Microsoft to fix it and wouldnt wonder me if they never. More likely some tech savy modder comes along and saves us at some point.

Had this problem too in 2018. Fix was to limit the framerate to 60FPS. These newer AC games or rather their engine seem to have a crap tons of reasons to run bad or crash all the time and Ubisoft is just like shrug.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. Do you limit in in NVIDIA Control Panel or within AC itself?

same problem here! so maybe apply to refund! T_T

It's not about 24H2, I'm using the normal windows and sudden stutter and freezing still happens, no matter what graphic settings I choose.

[Achieve2Receive]

I've just bought this game only to discover that I'm having this exact problem. I've had to restart the game twice now, and I'm starting to think that this will be a recurring issue with no resolution in sight.

I'm glad that I got it on sale, but I'm still tempted to refund it, at least until the problem has been fixed.

[sard3379]

Okay, as a temporary workaround, lower shadows and environmental details to medium or high. It won't fix the freezing completely but less likely happens.

I'm rocking a 4060 GPU and this game just will not run for more than a couple minutes. I've tried dumbing the visuals down, removing HDR, Dropping framerate cap. Nothing works. It's crazy to think my home consoles run this wayyy better.

ugh.. seems like there is no solution. i really want to play it so maybe i will dualboot windows 10 or lower version of 24h2

It certainly crashes quicker at 144hz. AT 60 it lets me play for a little while longer but will still end of freezing. This is on an Alienware r15, 4090 with newest Windows.
