    Computer crahed when exiting

    OK so I played a little bit of the game (major overhaul and very goob job), then hit save and quit, then I hit quit to desktop, guess what happened next, go on guess, my computer blackscreened, crashed, then restarted (oh I am sorry I had to turn it off completely and restart my computer because it locked up that hard).............WTF, WTF, WTF. I know it's a new game and will have bugs, but, I have NEVER had a game crash that hard when you exit, WTF. Does this patch FIX IT, where's the download for it, I hope maybe there's a FIX for it yet or will I be waiting, just curious.

    UBI pull your head out of your *edited* and FIX IT, THX. Sorry no trolls or unintelligent folks can reply here.

    Hey Reddm4nn, sorry to hear about this issue.

    Please can you create a support ticket here; https://support.ubi.com, ensuring to provide a DxDiag and MSINFO of your system, as this will help with the support process.

    Thanks.

    On PC with the latest patch 1.5, minimize the game about every half hour and run Task Manager. Esc/Ctrl+Alt+Del/Start Task Manager.

    On Task Manager's Performance tab you can monitor RAM usage. If you have 8GB RAM like most do, it can climb to 7GB or more in easily under 3 hrs because patch 1.5 has a memory leak, which Ubi have finally acknowledged recently.

    I managed to rank up to 10 in the arena in one session on patch 1.5, but as soon as I tried to quit the game after exiting the arena, I got the same type of crash you mentioned. When it's accompanied by a black screen you can't see the error message either, which says it's a memory problem.

    I and many others have had numerous mem leak crashes on 1.5. With 8GB RAM the best you get is typically about 1 hour of decent gameplay before the performance degrades severely from accumulated RAM usage. Hopefully the next patch will actually be tested properly this time. Ubi needs to be far more accountable than they've been.
