A FIX for Odyssey Crashing Randomly
I found a Fix for this persistent Crashing every 5 to 30 mins in Odyssey
As I posted in my other thread .. it appears that Odyssey is not getting enough System/ Memory resources to run properly as they are being shared by Connect for its overlays, in-menu Adverts and sales pitches.. (Helix points, Season Pass sales and Other Ubi Product adverts)..
I think this is why we sometimes get 2 error messages reading "Connect has Crashed" and "Odyssey has Crashed"
FIX..
I recommend Pausing any downloads, uploads or streaming you have going on..
Start Connect > Start Odyssey > Load/Run game > Pause game (Hit Esc) > Press Windows Key and/ or Open Task Manager..(Ctrl, Alt, DELETE)
Along the top of the task Manager you will see Tabs.. at the right hand side Click/Open DETAILS..
At the top of the list, Right Click AC Odyssey.. In the menu.. move the Mouse pointer to "Set Priority"..
You will see options. "Normal".. "Above Normal".. "High" .. "Realtime"..
Select "Above Normal" .. and close Task Manager and return and enjoy Odyssey...
If the game Crashes as usual.. Run through these steps again, except Set Priority "High"....
In the Priority list... from what I know "RealTime" is a system takeover.. and requires "Administrator" privileges , which means every single resource is given to the game.. but you shouldnt need to use this setting.. although some websites say you should use it, but before you do or your interested, read up on it for yourself..
This should now fix and stop the crashing, basically your telling your PC.. when your play.. Allocate more PC resources (CPU, GPU, Memory etc) to the game over everything else..
The downside with this is you have to do this EVERYTIME you start Odyssey.. even if you keep Connect open and change to another game, the Priority is reset..
You can try this for ANY game on your system thats crashing and If youve had to make a few changes to your PC just to run this game.. and this fix works, you can probably put your PC back to the way you like it..
I hope this helps anyone struggling... if it does, Reply to this thread and share it to others who play.. and I hope UBI look into and PATCH how Connect is allocating system resources to its UI Overlays and in menu adverts and not enough when the game is running.
Have a Great day all
