@korikori91 when ubisoft says improve performance, most certainly is graphics downgrade

well during a finisher i got stuck in the ground, lost all progress we talk about one hour+...I can't get how for the devs this intended behaviour was ok...bug free maybe, a scenario that is quite impossible...

same, noone is there to interact with

Archers have the most pathetic AI, they get stuck if you go near them, they don't even try to shoot

@dajizzarizza Immortal Phoenix Rising was made by Ubisof Quebec, the most talented people i've ever seen since Ubisoft history, i was surprised to find very few bugs.
Ac Valhalla was made by Ubisoft Montreal, not exactly the same pleasent experience from these devs...

Is there any plan to let us explore the other 2 tombs? we could explore and get the artifacts only on 3 tombs out of 5 needed to open the mechanism.
Forgot to mention i didnt' get the quest, but i could explore the first 3 tombs anyway.
I checked the location where the quest starts, but i couldn't find the women that give you that quest, guess because i got the artifacts before getting the quest? or just a bug?

@braudrist As i could see, it autosaves when you enter in the game, and that makes really no sense, since i just loaded a save.... than everytime an event triggers, like a completed objective, new loot, a purchase, after a dialogue, everytime it needs to load something. Sometimes takes quite a lot before an autosave, sometimes is a contnous autosave, depends what you do basically.
I would be happy also without autosave, we have the quicksave after all. But since people have the right to choose, make it optional or good idea also to gain control of the autosave choosing after how much time it will trigger.

I'm on pc, and i'm pretty sure is not machine dependant. It's just the autosave that is buggy. If during the autosave you move or press a button excluded turning tha camera that seems to be the only action not triggering the crashes, the game will 99,99% crash. If i see the autosave symbol in time and freeze on spot, the game will not crash.

@azullfr It was probably my post:https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/153024/pc-please-ubisoft-disable-the-autosave-feature-it-will-crash-the-game-99-of-the-times/3?lang=en-US&_=1651626097483

@azullfr yes i didn't mention the right stick, but pretty sure if you move the camera with the mouse is the same, the game won't crash.

@ubi-milky Hi. i solved with the clean boot, don't know what,but some service or start up element was interfering

@ubi-mark nope, looks fine for me

When you dive in a water mirror, you get rightly wet, but why not the same if it rains? is rain dry? why the terrain doesn't get muddy when it rains and if you step into it you leave the footprints? this ruins the immerison of the rainy weather.
Also have to see yet a proper storm with thunders and strong wind, but maybe i was just unlucky.
Ac syndicate wet effect of the floor was pretty.Go to 5.03 minute

@prophe Now looks better maybe?

@ubi-mark i've done all troubleshooting in my previous posts, looks like it's the same issue as the birds: https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/153187/weird-birds-animation-on-pc/8?lang=en-US
here one more evidence:

here you can see this is not affecting the torches:

The fire of the ship tip has not the issue too, is smooth:

Graphics settings:

@azullfr what's the point to save before if i lose everything i got anyway? the only annoying thing to do, is to return to ravensthorpe after each succesful raid so it saves the progress, but would be simplier if when you return to your ship, after completing a raid you can save. Living with the constant fear to lose everything, a game should help relax not to get anxious...

Hi, as the title suggest, i did some raids in various spots but i got stuck in the ground and had to reload...the result is none of the progress has been saved. I think it's better it autosaves after each spot, so at least you don't lose everything you got till now.

This is ubisoft optimization process: as soon as people complain for bad performance(sometimes those people don't even meet the minimum requirements), nerf graphics, it always has been like this, they always denied it, but at the end the truth came out ...:). And who will be damaged by this? always who has good machine, Yes there are various quality presets, but ultra is not really that ultra, i'm sure if they would open the acvalhalla.ini to modders, here you would see the real max graphics.
But hey, i tried to set texture quality to 4, it reverts to 2, while setting charcters quality to 4 stays 4, so they locked some settings and left unlocked some others. Did you know that rain and SSAO can be set both to 3 instead of 2, and won't revert back to 2? I think you got the message....
