PC Graphics

Cheers,

I got the game with my GPU and have had a problem with crashes ever since.

I believe this has to do with the driver, yet what I am going to describe happens in this game only.

Driver 19.12.1 (current, tried older ones)

Sapphire RX 5700XT Nitro+

[Ryzen 5 3600

MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon

2x8 Gb Corsair Vengeance RGB @ 3200 Mhz]*                                                    *these are not the problem, had                                                                                                                                  different GPUs, AMD & Nvidia in here

I can run around for something like 3-4 minutes (always about the same time) and the game will just freeze & crash.

At first I thought it was due to a corrupt save file, but it would happen with both, local and cloud saves.

Turnt down the graphics as I noticed my GPU was hitting 97% easily with the temps being still in a safe but not the best range; nothing.

When I went ahead and monitored the GPU with Wattman I noticed the very weird behaviour as shown in the attached screenshot.

With that data I strongly believe this is a driver-related issue, as it appears to just be crashing and pulling the game with it.

Also, as you can see the readouts on the left are stuck @ the usage right before the crash.

Note that I am using the stock fan profile since custom ones will crash the GPU (PC etc. still runnning but no output to monitors)

Are these the known high mountain/alps/snow areas issues acknowledged by game dev.

They're the areas mostly reported. Being looked into.

ps. I don't use wattman/3rd party oc/fan apps, card is running stock off vbios.

Thanks for the information. This explains a lot because this happened to me last night flying over a snow covered area and my screen was corrupted. Unlike other times I avoided a system crash.

Same here. Got the game as a gift with AMD products and it crashes with snow and high altitude.

Hopefully AMD pays notice and can contact UbiSoft for the lousy promotional offer.

[djwave28]

I can confirm.

I recently had some contact with UbiSoft about this issue and we tried some stuff like reinstalling the C++ distributables. Nothing helped, but they did confirm the symptoms and that the issue is addressed in the upcoming patch later this month.

[goodplay]

Yes, Ubi posted about the original patch being delayed until later Jan.

Thank both of you, yeah I eventually found out about it aswell.
Sucks that I have to get deep into the mountains for story progression, but at least I know when I can continue haha

Hi! I have the same problem using the same card (almost) RX5700XT Gigabyte Gaming OC, and same processor. I don't know how to fix this and it seems it's been several months since this was posted. Does anyone knows how to fix this?
