    Ubisoft Connect update to fix problem that doesnt exist

    Ran my weekly Summit last night, four hours, a bunch of challenges, not a hitch.

    This morning, Ubisoft Connect wants to update. Fine. Three times Windows security manager is prompted for permissions. Log into game, get on my alt, am standing in Haven at the vendor/stash area, doing inventory. Crash. Task Manager shows not responding. Took about five minutes.

    The difference between last night and this morning? Ubisoft Connect updated.

    Edit Update:

    Another forum poster suggested flushing the directX cache. I followed the windows control panel->administrative tools->disk cleanup route. Direct X Cache was one of the options. Did some farming for a couple hours, so works fine. Weird Achievement bug is still there though.

    Achievement Update

    After my crash, I went to check my settings and passed by the achievements category.

    Apparently, just today April 26th, I have rescued Emeline Sawyer at Grand Washington Hotel. Never mind that I haven't run any missions today. I regular farm that mission and test builds in there. So, this is quite inaccurate. The other achievements seem to match what I remember.

    Just started the game, Uplay performs an update. Unclear it this was for The Division or launcher. Then 3 minutes in the game, frozen and required end task with manager. Had zero issues in the last few weeks with this game. Why can't they just leave it as is or use decent tools/compiler that works 100%. When this season is over the next step is uninstall having completed almost everything by now except the current manhunt.

    Guess I should thank Massive for saving me a lot of money. Break Point, Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs Legion, Valhalla, or new Division game. Sorry no thanks, nothing but the same bugs galore.

    Starting from yesterday, i have experienced the worst streak of CTDs ever. I wasnt able to stay in the game for more than two minutes.

    Plus, the Connect Clients wants to update, but fails.


    At this point, i can only conclude that Ubisoft doesnt care, and i will remember this.

    Yea, I'm seriously jealous of the players that aren't having problems what-so-ever.

    Me and my bunch are still at the same place we've been for what seems like 6 or 7 weeks now...

    Some evenings we can play for hours at a time. Others some of us or all of us randomly crash straight to desktop or completely frozen, multiple times during a play-session. Just Sunday night, two of crashed mere minutes after getting into game 3 times in a row, and that was that. Moved to a completely different game for the evening.

    In my library of games, Division 2 is the only game that behaves like this. Horribly frustrating to say the least,

    Just for the crecord:
    - which windows 10 build are you using?
    For me thats 20H2 (just type : winver in your w10 search box)
    - which dx?
    I am using 11. Played a while on dx12, looks way better but was crashing.

    I know it blows when the game crashes, i had it with dx12 and god knows that i can throw a mouse thru my screen. I hope the game will get stable for you and your crew.

    When you play the game, and you play alone on dx11, is it then also crashing?
    When you play with the crew, are they all on dx11?

    So I'm one of the folks whose game has been crashing nearly daily since TU12.1 (increased to daily and during the character selection screen after the first Uplay update that they fixed).
    The following is not a crashproof fix, but I've been able to play for hours at a time and a crash every 2-3 days followed by more game time.
    I also can't say it'll work for everyone, but if you've noticed oddities when modifying settings in the game (long freezes before the game does NOT apply the settings and the *.cfg files often show nothing changed even after game says settings were applied), this might work for you.

    After Windows KB5001330 was re-introduced (it might've not been called that originally, but the basic cause affecting PC gaming existed in a prior Windows Update too), I uninstalled it. Someone posted that you need a restore point to do it, but that is incorrect. I used this method: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-u...ues-windows-10 .

    After uninstalling it, I deleted the contents of the shadercache in the game folder and deleted all of the settings files in \Documents\my games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2:
    *graphic settings.cfg
    *loading tips.cfg
    *persistent settings.cfg
    *settings.cfg
    *state.cfg
    *ui config.cfg

    (if you don't want to delete them permanently, you can rename each one to *.xxx (instead of *.cfg)

    Finally, I verified game files; no problems found.
    After those steps, I started the game. Note: do not use any game / video optimisation tools. So, don't use Nvidia, AMD or any other video / game settings optimisation tools.

    Once I got to character selection screen, I kept the default settings for Audio, Video, and Graphics. I did remap all of my keys to what I wanted again.
    Note that the game used DX11 as the default in my case; I don't know if this is standard or if it's DX12 for other folks; whatever it is, don't adjust it from the "default" setting.
    Then I started into the gameworld.
    No crash; was able to play for four hours then I quit because I wanted to do (not crashed).

    The next day, no problems again.
    Fourth day, the game froze but when I checked Task Manager, it was showing "not responding" so I killed the game then immediately started the game again. The game acted as if I had been disconnected and I did not reappear at the closest safehouse, but instead on top of a storage container where I had been doing an air drop open-world mission. Previously when the game would crash (silent crash, freeze or crash with report to Ubisoft), I would spawn at the closest safehouse.

    After that crash, I've had one crash every 2-3 days, but the next time, no crash and able to play for several hours (six hours has been the longest, and I logged out after that... not because game crashed).

    Best regards.

    PS: For Massive, the biggest change I've found is that the game's shadercache size is tiny. Prior to trying this method, it contained as much as 58,000KB. With this method, it only contains 8,000KB. Also, the game's two percentage "metres" each take 10-15 seconds at longest, not hanging on 9% for ten seconds, and in-game world loading doesn't hang or stutter the game much or frequently.
