I've tried anithyng, it's buggy game
Havent heard anyone complaining about R9 290'sOriginally Posted by Meowbeast Go to original post
So far the complaints seem to be coming mainly from owners of R9 380 and R9 285 GPUs. According to their Wikipedia pages, both these cards share the same chip architecture, GCN 1.2.Originally Posted by andruh69 Go to original post
The R9 285 is the only Rx-200 series card with GCN 1.2. The R9 290s all seem to be using GCN 1.1. Also, RX-300 series GPUs mostly have GCN 1.0 and 1.1 architectures except for:
- R9 380
- R9 380 (OEM versions)
- R9 380X
- R9 Fury
- R9 Nano
- R9 Fury X
Of the Rx-300 series, if anyone owns the Fury, Nano or Fury X, I would be interested to know if they are affected as well or only R9 380 variants. Basically, if you don't own one of the above cards it sounds like the black-screen crash in northern Oros isn't going to affect you.

BTW, I'm still getting the crash with yesterday's 16.3 driver update.
Tried that and actually was able to capture an outpost in a snowy area. Took the game longer to crash and actually this time the graphics driver stopped and restarted, leaving me with just having to kill the game in the task manager rather than hard resetting my computer.Originally Posted by fvbmusikproduk Go to original post
I see this as a vast improvement already. Maybe a step in the right direction
R9 380X user.
Ok, people, I managed to do some test on my PC few minutes ago and here are the facts (sorry for some mistakes, I'm not English-native):
1. Someone suggested me an overheated GPU may cause a black screen (a.k.a. driver crash), so I remove my case's front pannel and cleaned up dust; there wasn't much, the inside was clean and all parts were dirtless.
2. I manually verified each and every single driver, to be sure nothing was outdated. Everything was perfectly up-to-date, nothing to be done here.
3. I ran Heaven Benchmark with maximum specs in window mode for 39 minutes with CPUID HWMonitor beside to check temperatures; everything was normal: MOBO temperature reached 49 °C (but just once, it ran very below that temperature for the most part), CPU cores reached 51 °C (but were normally on 19-23 °C), GPU [MSI Radeon R9 380] was almost stable on 63-65 °C. After that I did the Benchmark again for 10 minutes with v-sync activated. Everything was normal and ran fine.
4. I verified the game files with Uplay client.
5. I turned off every single program that could cause conflics: my antivirus, AMD Gaming Evolved, CCleaner, OneDrive, Pushbullet. Nothing was running besides the game, Uplay and CPUID.
6. I launched the game from UPlay, open video settings, put the game in window mode and set all values on balanced, which for my system means high-ultra; I lowered shadow, fog and water effects, turned off antialiasing and set Post FX to Low.
7. I loaded my game (I had saved in northern region) and it froze 2 second later. A sound from Windows told me something, probably that the graphics driver crashed. I hoped that, having the game in window mode, I could have return to desktop, but it was useless, I had to force-reboot my PC.
With all these tests I think I proved it does not depend on my hardware, it is not something I can repair by myself. This is a software problem, something Ubisoft or AMD must resolve with a patch as soon as possible.
I hope some of them is reading my message, I wrote to this section's moderators early this morning and told them about this thread. I suggest you to do the same and, if they do not listen or pretend not to listen, to turn to other legal means to preserve your rights.
What a nuisance.
I encountered something interesting.
Like i wrote before if i put out AA completly i can go in the Northern Snowy Areas for very long time.
It only crashes when i zoom in my bow (sometimes) and if Enemy AI is getting attracted to me in combination with fire.
Now i monitored with the Taskmanager on my 2nd Screen, that short before the Crash the System Ram usage is shooting up in the Sky to 1Gb to 1,8Gb.
Maybe Ubisoft can do something with that.....???
Hey you UBI programmers....read the S+++ we are monitoring and reportings to you an reproduce it, and way before that give a statement that you are working on that matter
