    Hi all

    The last few days have seen my game keep freezing for a short while and it keeps doing it for 20mins sometimes but then freezes completely, but i an unable to to get to task manager as it has locked up my PC so i have to reset the PC to restart..

    I have the latest NVidia card Driver from 11-04-19 have played this game for weeks so not just installed it and have completed it except for a few challenges and have had no problems until now

    Can Anyone help ?

    I Will reinstall it if someone can point me to the save file as I don't want to do it all again

    Hi crunc01

    I have just played it again in offline mode as you said to try and it freezes for about 3-4secs every so often and then around the 20mins of play locks the PC up and I have to manually shut down the PC to fix it
    My frame rate when it is playing is around the 50fps and when it freezes its down to about 8 if that helps ?

    you need to send a report to the tech support part of the forum..
    in the report include your version of windows.. full hardware specs and what drive and kind of drive you have the game installed on. also for windows usually when you get a screen lock.. you can simultaneously push CTRL+ALT+Delete and 3rd time of that in rapid succession usually will bring up task manager so you do not have to hard shut down the 'puter// Also if your computer is running any of the RGB stuff shut off it's software.. it is buggy and bugs a lot of games. of course make sure you are not running the game at too high setting for your machine.. or using the High Rez textures installed if you don't have the machine that can handle 4K hdri

    until tech support can answer you in that forum.. if you have not as of yet.. open the uplay app .. make sure you are in online mode and on the down arrow to the right of the pic of the game.. tell it to verify files... after the last update my game was acting wonky.. it seems to have corrupted some files when it installed the update.. after it verified that it found bad files.. and re-downloaded them my game was fine as before... I did not mention this at first as I figured you had done it.. but maybe not.. so ..

    Yes I did verify but didn't have any problems with my installation, but i have just lowered my setting and have played for 1 hour with no problems which is strange as I have always played this before on the high settings ?
