    Game freezes at random during offline campaign

    Hey guys,

    My game has been freezing up at random when I'm playing the offline campaign. It happens anywhere from 5 minutes of playtime to maybe an hour or more. The sound will play for a few seconds after the video locks up and I can't do anything to resolve it other than hard restart my PC. Alt-tab, Ctrl-alt-del, alt-f4 don't do anything. I thought the memory leak was causing it but now, after the 1.6 patch, the memory leak doesn't seem to be an issue. The game will run perfectly fine right up until it locks up entirely. It usually happens at specific moments such as when I finish a mission, karma event, enter/exit a vehicle, etc. I've tried verifying game files in steam, disabling all overlays, running the game as admin, made sure drivers were up to date (Omega 14.12) and nothing seems to be working.

    Specs:
    AMD FX-8350
    HD Radeon 7870
    8GB DDR3
    GB 990FXA-UD3 mobo

    I appreciate any help. Thanks!

    Cannot play due to continuous crashing - Never buying UBISOFT games again

    This game in unplayable. I just bought it today at 1PM.
    It took 20 min to install from 3 CDs + 1 hour for Uplay to download and apply patches (v1.6)

    For the last 5 hours I've been trying to reach the bloody tower (1st quest).
    The game started crashing after the first cut scene (torture chamber).

    I am tired of listening to the same dialogues over and over and over and over again.
    I am tired of starting the game over and over and over again just so that it crashes after 1 or 2 minutes of play. Plus in the beginning you can't even save so I have to start from the beginning every time.

    This game is an insult to every person who spent their hard earned money to pay for this unusable game.

    I will never pay for another UBISOFT game again.

    game frozen in a specific mission in the same place

    I have the same problem the game freezes and the image remains frozen, I realized after several tests that happens at the same point, I started a mission of Sabal and I must go to a temple, when I get to a specific point on the map game freezes. I tried everything, I have a nvidia GTX 780, 16 gb ram, intel I7 ... then surpass the recommended requirements ... I had this problem previously on a secondary mission, I resolved not doing the mission, but now it is a MISSION main so I can not go on ... help ...: Mad:: Mad:: Mad:

    Same on Xbox 350

    The game randomly freezes on 360 as well, Picture freezes, can't even access the dashboard, only way is to restart console. This is not the first issue either, having audio problems too. Have never played a game with so many bugs, even after the patches game still doesn't flow properly.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the game through Steam, was able to play for about 3 hours without issue, left the game for a bit, restarted and played for about another 30 minutes before it froze again. This sucks.

    980 here. No freezing issues until 1.6, now the game randomly freezes as you described. Only difference with you is I don't have to hard reset the computer. Win8.1, ctrl-alt-del works for me. I've stopped playing the game because of it.

    Same issue. The game jumps to windowed mode with black screen. Pc won't respond to anything else than shutting off or logging out.
    I've also instantly logged out, back in and checked the temps of components. None of the components were out of the comfort zone. Not even close.

    i7-4790k
    gtx980
    8gb ram
    win 8.1

    Why ubi keeps f***ing us all the time. I think my next purchase from the company will be a game that's at least 6 months old. Get it cheap, get it ready.

    I know if Ubisoft is working to correct these serious bug? I got the game for a week and I still can not play due to continuous blocks, with the high cost of these products is really shameful to have so many problems.

    gtx980 + 4770k and also have a lot of random freezes.
    It happens more frequently during missions.
    I play with a 360 controller (it seems to cause some problems), so I don't know if it can be a problem.

    Same here. I can sometimes play 2-3h, but it bugs me that it's guaranteed that the game will crash at some point.
    I'm seriously taking the patient route from now on. I'll buy ubi games once I know they are finished. Why put money in game that only pisses you off, especially if you're not interested in multiplayer.
