Quick Suggestions

Please someone help??? I don't want to start all over again!!!!

Hello,

This issue started on Tuesday 06-28-2022. I had been playing just fine the day before.

The game will start up through Ubisoft Connect and reach the "press any key" screen.
However once a key is pressed, the game will crash and return to desktop. No error message of any kind.
I have run the usual troubleshooting steps (check drivers, run as administrator, check game files, reinstall game files, etc...) to no avail.

I have noticed the following:

When NOT running as administrator, the game will try to install DirectX (and the desktop splash screen will state "step 1/2" or "step 2/3") while the mouse cursor flickers with the sand dial appearing on and off.
When running as administrator, the game's desktop splash screen will buffer endlessly. No attempt to install DirectX. No progress made after waiting 15 minutes.
When waiting on the "press any key" screen for the William Miles intro video to start, the game will also crash in the same way.

Here's a youtube video of the "press any key" crash :

First I know it’s a minor problem for most players, but i kinda care about the my certain digits of player state in Social menu got reset to zero, digits like "Hours Played Online" ,"Full Tactical Ops Completeled" because I love this online game and for a long time i really grind for these digits even fewer and fewer players play this online i still accumulate these numbers till my numbers of "Full Tactical Ops Completed "and “Total Operative injures “ got reset to zero.

Second ,it might because of I changed my gaming platform from xbox one to Xbox series S, so it prob caused some sync error so if anyone have some tips or tricks to backtrack them ,i’m all ears.

It might sounds ridiculous these numbers are matter to me but hey i ve put my efforts, my sweat my energy on these digits . Even i grind and have fun at same time,these numbers are like medals and achievements to me. I play the game since the game was released so u can imagine how i feel when they were reset to zero even for the massive numebers of "Total Operatives injuries ".

Now It only gets more sad when every time i complete a full Tac Ops and I know it will never get fixed and have to deal with it but who knows i gotta ask.

In the end i knew there will be no further substantial support to this game, so if u guys wanna ubi-Siri respond to me ,plz don’t . i’d rather be ignored.

Hello, I'm playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey Version 1.5.6 on Xbox Series X. I defeat the cyclops in Forgotten Isle but Cyclops Arges & Bay of Nobody but they don't show up on my quest log or on my map, I just have the ability to fast travel to there location.

The key is back, I can now get it from the guard... but when I try to use it on the cell, the game ask me for the key ?!!! I tried two times...

After the latest patch, I'm getting huge fps drops and stuttering everywhere in the game while previously it was completely smooth. The problem seems to be server related. When I play in offline mode, the game works totally fine. So please Ubi, fix your servers.

I have 4 hel's scythe in my inventory.

Thanks to the new update two settlement decorations names no longer show. They are just blank. They're the two new rewards from the last yule festival.
They are called
1) winter warrior statue scheme
2) house bear scheme.

So you have built the new Armoury.
It was a grind but your pleased.
You can switch outfits with the skills and weapons you've set with them on the fly.

Fast travel to the Ragnarök map....... And they are all Locked!!
Smh....

As I'm way too lazy I almost never go to forums or such to comment on anyting, but this...
Anyway - please excuse my temper and my English - as you might guessed I'm not a native speaker so typos will happen.

This is the third time I'm trying to play this garbage...

Okay... where do we start here...

Lets discus the good.

The exploration in this game is great. It's not just above avarage - it actively makes me want to go around the game and explore new places. Some of the exploration puzzles are great. Props for the team responsible! For me personally this is the only thing that would make keep going. If tomorrow the game deletes all its "enemies" I wouldn't care for a dog fart.

The aestetics are also quite nice, not as good as the exploration, but they are okay-ish and I'd like Ubi to drop the "realistic-only" protagonists faces policy and make some really good looking human faces, but I guess its matter of taste. I like the fact that most of the visual details on your character can be modified, at least at the begining of the game. If you like that rugged look, or you want to be casual-looking the game offers a lot of options. If you want some more "corporate" or "militant" outlook there are some options, but they doesnt seems to be so developed.

Love some of the environments. Truly great looking and impressive to walk trough. Love most of the visual effects (shadows, sun glares, vapours, reflections at some surfaces)- nice, consistent visual outlook of most of them. Absolutely can be benefit for most of the enironments. They can be better, but even at this stage they are good enough and compeling to look at at most cases.

I just love most of the character animations - it seems a lot of work have been poured in them. Although they are not too varied, they are still quite good and mostly smooth (excluding the bugged ones of course, but I hardly saw any animation bugging to be honest).

The bad...

The user interface on PC... its hot garbage. The game insist to hold buttons left and right. This is not a tuch controll game from some of the mobile app stores - why do I have to keep holding buttons for mundane functions? I can't just grab loot from the enironment - I have to hold button to interact or it will just pop open a window with the contents in the middle of the fight in most cases. I think reversing the function (eg - holding shows the dialog instead of tapping or even better - configurable option) might fix this. I can somewhat understand the holding button when going from cover to cover, but still - you can just tap the button again and stop the command in mid animation or aiming your weapon can cancel the movement. By the way - why no animation canceling? Got killed on multiple occasions as I start reloading and my avatar in game keeps fumbling with the reload animation and getting shot at. Please no responses of the "its more realistic" type - there is nothing realistic in the reload in the game - might as well make it more comforatble to use. But I digress - I'd argue that "Genshin Impact" is better looter than "The Division 2", simply because in "Genshin" you can (and most often will) run at full speed and just pick and pluck all the loot around you.

The AI - the enemies have very simplistic behaviour pattern, no way around it. And that kinda leads to the next problem, but I will discuss it in the next point. In most cases the enemies are just fighting for my attention. Literally. The only other thing they will do is just crouch behind cover or rush towards me.

The clown car enemies. Ever seen a circus trick of couple clowns push a small car - whith a size of "Smart" for example and then like 12-15-ish clowns will exit from it. Its quite fun... if you are five years old and you and your parents are at the circus. It's complete garbage if that is how the enemies are handled in a "tactical" game. It removes the ability to plan any engagement if that is your first time doing it, but just the first time. After that it becomes stupid and tiersome. Personally I think this is the worst aspect of this game. It ruins most of the engagements and makes the enemies look like brainles zombies. The worst of it is that this removes any depth from the game. The combat in this game is passable (as at mechanical level you have passible options and methods to interact with your enemies), but the engagements are hot garbage, puked from a dog. All the battles are really cheesy. Especially in linear missions I can tell when a battle will ocure just by observing how the environment is set up. As the AI is really simplistic in most cases the game is placing you in bad starting position so it can cover up for the limited options of the AI. Every god-damned time... I had like 1 or maybe 2 times when that was not the case. It gets old really quick.

The ugly...

You might ask your self why the previous point (which is the absolute ruin of this game for me personally) is not placed here. Well its personal preference - I just dont like the "clown car" enemies effect, but other players might not care about it.

The engagements. I have touched on this in my previous point, but let me re-iterate on it for a bit. As the limitations of the AI seems to be the problem and this problem has to be covered by the previously mentioned methods makes most boss fights really anti-climactic. First - full disclamer - I have not raided in "The Division 2", none of my friends will ever touch this game seriously, therefore all my expirience is coming from the single player missions (and yes, I do played them solo). The first boss in the game is some sniper (can't remeber the name, to be honest) at the end of a level and its trivial. She (/it) is dumb as they get, the only reason I can remember this fight is that after you killed her, the game spawns like 5-6 "clown car" enemies. That felt so bad... Why? Why after you killed the boss? It felt really unnecessary - like "we want you to waste some more time here" unnecessary. These enemies had no real significance, flavour, explanation, reason for appearing. It felt like the game actively tries to waste my time and I really don't like that. Please do not do that ever again... I have long list of examples, but I think you get the point - the game needs more careful approach to spawning enemies (adds) in the boss fights, and needs some better scripting events in boss fights so the boss wont be just the next over-blown bullet spunge goon.

The AI (Isaac)... Okay... this one is a bit harder to explain. The ingame helper/context driver Isaac is actually quite good... except when it is not. I love the added context provided by Isaac - it is meaningfull and well placed. I would like to make it a bit sparce on obvius things and a bit more directed on not-so-obvious things. Let me explain. I don't need the constant "civilians in danger" reminder - once or twice is enough. I do need to be reminded where the mission objectives regions are in expeditions. "Sports club", "Pumping station", Routunda", "Cafeteria" is aboslutely meaningless for me. I refuse to remeber this trivial bulshit since I have a perfectly good AI (Isaac) with perfectly good AR to gide me. And I have plenty to remember in my real life, sorry.

The environments. Well how can you love and hate them in the same time? Well you can... I just don't like pitch black night corners where I can't see a thing (yes I know that pistol underbarrel attchment lighter exists, I know), often bumping in objects or unable to locate interactables or even aim at enemies when needed or when I'm in mission and two or even more direct light sources are pointed at me and there is absolute blackness behind them. It makes it dramatic and so on, but I end up with sore eyes and headache - I would like to not have to go trough that again please. Or when you are in bowl shapped arena and you are in the center/bottom of the "bowl" and everyone is pouring lead from every direction imaginable (and not so imaginable) every goddamned time when the missions decide that you need to be killed. I just want to have some more options in that regard.

This is all the time I have for now, will probably add some personal suggestions to this thread if I have the time.

Hello,

I am a twitch streamer and was attempting to stream Valhalla last night. I really enjoy the game and wanted to share it with my community. I did run into an issue where when I would enter a cut scene it would stop playing the dialog in the stream itself. I am playing on a Xbox X, and the game and my twitch is fully up to date. I am not sure if this was done intentionally or not, but I wanted to reach out to Ubisoft because I really look forward to sharing this game with my community more in the future. Here you will find a link: (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n03iM-x3rwXqeQxqH6ct1iWN3xPCeEVi/view?usp=sharing) to a recording that shows the issue.

If this was intentional, I am perfectly fine with that as I want to ensure supporting the game as much as possible, but I wanted to check with your team to ensure I am not doing something wrong.

Thank you,

I have found all the shelters as well as the Valkyrie Arena and they do not show up on my map which makes it impossible to fast travel to them. I’ve been searching everywhere and i can’t find any one with the same issue, therefore preventing me from finding a possible solution.

(PC) Today I bought Dawn of Ragnarok from UbisoftConnect, and it came with the Twilight pack. That's absolutely awesome .... just the Twilight pack does not appear in the Owned section of the store.

I checked the Owned section and neither the equipment, nor the companions are listed there. The store also shows the Twilight Pack as 0 owned. Does that mean I will lose it if something happens to my save? How do I get the equipment / companions to register as owned?

In German a finisher move is called "Betäubungsschlag". This means making someone unconscious. The way I see the finisher the opponents are more than unconscious. A word like "Todesstoß" would be more appropriate.
