For me it was 5 minutes only, but I agree, either remove the time limit or make it much longer e.g. an hour.

@Ubisoft, could we have an update on progress to fix this problem please?

I was just about to finish off the final boss at a level 4 control point for The Rude, The Bad and The Evil project, then bam, yet another freeze. Of course, the CP has reset back to level 1 and I have to redo all that work to get there once again. An update of any kind would be appreciated, thanks.

@ubi-keo The suggested workaround (re-enter the house then escape) did not work for me. I had visited this World Event earlier and had escaped the house, but the lady was far too powerful for me to kill and so I left it until later. Coming back later, the lady was singing on the other side of the small bridge near the front of the house and could not be talked to. The house was still unlocked, but escaping it again through the window did not help. Then I quick saved/loaded right behind the house. I saw the lady was now walking toward the house, and when I approaced her she became aggressive. I defeated her and the event completed normally.

It seems to me this World Event is not completely resetting as they should when you leave the area i.e. house door not relocking, movable barrier not returned next to the window, and not being able to talk to her initially.

I can't close with ALT+F4 or open Task Manager to End task

The trick with Task Manager is in its Options menu, tick on "Always on top". When TD2 crashes (as it annoyingly frequently does), press Shift+Control+Escape to open TM, which will now be on top of TD2, even in full screen mode. Then you can close TD2.

I agree. I tried it on my rifle, but both zoom factors are too great, it's better suited to the DMR weapon. Note that you can still equip it to your DMR weapon though.

@lelot3
new driver from Nvidia so instead to go for the 471.22 I downloaded the 471.41

I don't think that will make any difference. I did have 451.67 installed for my GTX 1080 and updated it to 471.22 the other day, and that made no difference to the freezing.

@LeLoT3,

the last one was in the transition between gameplay and cutscene.

It can happen anytime anywhere, free roam, missions, cutsecenes, in menus and so on.

BTW, please edit your post and hide the spoiler behind spoiler. I haven't completed the game yet so thanks for blowing the ending.

I have deliberately not delivered a final fish to the Fishing Hut (and thus not collecting the Swordfish weapon), waiting for this problem to be resolved. I saw that the Core Challenge had been re-enabled, so I collected the Swordfish sword from the Fishing Hut and wielded it, but the challenge still remains not unlocked for me.

@Adze:
If you are using NVIDIA cards please try debug mode to see if your graphics card is clocked too high by factory overclock:

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately this did not help. Even in debug mode I still get random crashes.

For me, where TD2 *hasn't* crashed has been the Summit. I have been playing this extensively for the past week and am now at floor 61, and not a single freeze while in the Summit. When I exit the Summit and return to DC or NY, the random freezes return.

Today TD2 froze after I started it - I started it from Ubisoft Connect as usual, got to the main menu screen, where you launch the game itself. While I navigated to the Settings screen it froze, i.e. before the game itself had been started. I tend to think there is a problem with TD2 talking to the servers rather than the game locally (I've had a previous freeze right when the Internet connection was dropped).

Any update on progress of a fix would be nice, thanks.

@the_Kettle - While I agree in theory, there is a simple workaround - while you do have to invest in the rifle branch at first, to unlock the Digital Scope, once you've done that you can then use the 'respec element' option to remove points from rifle and put them into something else, and you'll still be able to use the scope.

That isn't the case here. As soon as I respec the rifle buff, the Digital Scope locks out and cannot be equipped on any weapon. If you try to "trick" the system by first equipping the Digital Scope to a weapon, then respec those rifle points, the Digital Scope is removed from your weapon and replaced by its default.

Our June Update (TU13) should have improved the crashes happening on PC

Where do you see which version the game is patched to? For me the in-game Patch Notes only go up to 1.12.

@rage_therapy
every Nvidia driver after the June 10th 466.77 seems to result in graphic corruption

I recently updated from 451.67 to 471.22 and have no corruption at all. I have a GTX 1080 so it may be a problem with specific cards.

I agree. I tried it on my rifle, but both zoom factors are too great, it's better suited to the DMR weapon. Note that you can still equip it to your DMR weapon though.
