Hey all,
I recently died near a river. Problem is, the game keeps respawning me in the river. My computer isn't necessarily the fastest, and before it finishes loading I hear the death noise. By the time it finishes loading I've already drown. I never have control over Ajay - it's just wait for load, die before load, see death animation, immediate reload.
I've tried kicking the graphics options as low as they go, and I'm running on an SDD, so I cant' think of what to do. I've got 21.5 hours into this game, and really, I'm pretty peeved that I hit a bug this large (if a bit random.) It's game-breaking.

Sorry to hear that you've encountered this. If you think this is a computer issue, please try accessing the game from a different PC with the save. Also, please try updating PC drivers to see if it helps with loading. If possible, please submit this and any other images or computer files (dxdiag & msinfo) to the tech team via "my questions" here: https://support.ubi.com. Again, sorry to hear this as it is not a known issue. In the meantime, please attempt playing on another save or attempting to pause the menu through pausing the game as soon as loading is finished.
Unfortunately I do not have access to a faster PC to see if it loads quicker so that I can swim to shore before dying.Originally Posted by Volfbane Go to original post
I'll update my drivers, though I believe they're mostly up to date, and I'll submit today.
You mention trying another save. How do I access additional saves? I looked in the Save file and I have two saves, both with the exact same timestamp, so that seems to possibly be a dead end. I'd love to revert to one prior - I'd only been playing about five minutes before this happened.
Pausing doesn't really help much - as you can see from the video, I'm dead before I get control. If you turn the sound up you can hear the death music playing before the load finishes. It seems the game world goes live about 15 seconds before the load finishes. The game is a slideshow when it does finish, too. I think the fact that it's spawning me underwater slows the load, but I have no other saves to try that out on.
21.5 hours in, and while I'm absolutely loving the game, I'm not really looking forward to replaying it all when I haven't even seen one ending yet. At this point, this is more one of those "uninstall" issues rather than "may as well start again" issues. Which crushes me - GOTY thus far.
