Before you start bashing me, Yes the game has issues/bugs/glitches whatever you want to name it, but in my honest opinion, this game is by far GOTY, one of the best games i have ever played and deserves love, the development of a game at this massive scale during the pandemic is something to give huge credit for.

i know some are frustrated and disappointed of some game breaking bugs, but last year was hard on everyone especially when lots of studios in different countries are involved in developing this game.

i'm in my second play through with female Evior now, didnt encounter any game breaking bugs and feel sorry for people who encountered such problems and i know its kinda sucks to be patient and wait for a patch but its the only option for now unfortunately, i hope the next patch would resolve most if not all issues and people with problems get to enjoy the game as its intended.

Last, i would like to thank everyone who worked and still working on this wonderful game.

let me add my voice to this thread, i finished the game using onboard realtek audio with 5.1 surround speakers setup, the audio was ok and leveled, nothing fancy with the crappy onboard audio.

i got creative AE-5 Plus sound card recently, set encoding to Dts connect, and launched the game, audio levels are all over the place, Npcs voices are too low, background music and sea chanties are too low, evior voice is loud, special effects like when getting skill points and combat finishers are too loud, and so on.

i tried many configurations in creative command software even disabled encoding all together, but nothing helped, its all the same

@yazx_ You forgot to use "In my humble opinion, ..".

so you just came here to troll kid, if u dont agree then its fine but at least learn to respect and accept other opinions.

having same issue, here is the steps to reproduce (at least what i did for it to trigger):

1. Complete Asgard quest line and exit through the door.
2. Go and gather Materials for Valka's next potion.
3. Drink potion and travel to Jotunheim.
4. Wake up by click the eye icon and leave Jotunheim.
5. Drink the Asgard potion again.

you will travel to Asgard and get Stuck, no Eye icon to wake up and no door to leave, please check the image below:

me personally beat the game 3 times now on PC, its so good, if you follow the story and explore regions after playing the arc in that region, you will not hit any issue, probably few minor glitches here and there. the game is huge and massive.

odyssey and origins had better support in terms of fixing issues and free content, this one takes a while when releasing a patch , yah we all understand the situation and what COVID caused, for me its a kudos for the team to release a game with such a massive scale at this period of time.

Set AA to low in Graphics settings, this one in particular is tanking performance, however, its not needed because the textures are sharp enough and low is good enough. another thing is to set volumetric clouds to high.

Strange, i'm playing @1440p with 3700x, 1080 Ti and 16GB 3600Mhz, latest Nvidia Drivers, Windows upto date, no stuttering whatsoever on 3-4 hours sessions, steady 60+ FPS all the time, here are most of my graphics settings:

1. FOV --> 100
2. Depth of field and Motion Blur --> OFF (Motion Blur tanks performance, either ways its a bad effect)
3. AA --> Low (this setting tanks performance, to be honest on low its great as i couldnt notice any aliasing especially @1440)
4. Adaptive quality ---> OFF
5. VSync --> OFF
6. Shadows/Refelections --> Very High
7. Clouds --> High
8. Resolution Scale --> 100%
9. Everything else ---> Ultra

@diegogamer97 While in game, press F1, check your CPU and GPU utilization and post back so i can try to figure out the problem, if you cannot decide, then take a screen shot and post it showing the usage metrics shown by pressing F1.

@fedonpv2014 i believe this treasure is part of a quest since there is an arena, i went back to get it, got stuck and couldn't get it LOL, similar to your story, i guess you return to Asgard once you finish Jotunheim and have a battle with the big boss, i didnt read about it to not spoil anything. anyhow loaded an older save and i will not go back to Asgard unless if the game tells me to.

@reboir24

tried that, it doesnt let you leave it, its totally locked. did you unlock/complete Jotunheim ??

Lazy loading on mobile doesnt work unless if you scroll past footer.

another issue on mobile as well, when writing or editing a comment, the mobile keyboard covers the text editor, so you cannot see whats being typed

@chadwick_ the last thing that comes to my mind is to try and use Paypal at checkout since it will be the middle-man and eliminate all of these issues that the store has with your credit card.

@chadwick_ then you need to contact ubisoft store support

@chadwick_ purchase it from the web store website but make sure to login with the same account you use for uplay client

@chopperinhand1 to remove the buzz, set your physical speakers volume to 30%-40% and raise the volume from windows sound settings

@chopperinhand1 hold backspace, the game should show you that if the stones are stacked properly above the blue circle

its most probably driver crash that alot us are facing, check event viewer after the crash, see if there is an entry for display and driver crash and report back, and also post your system specs

@sorry_dunno i've just had it with these TDRs, i rolled back to 442.19 driver (Feb 2020) with clean install and so far so good, to my surprise, these drivers work alot better than the new ones, i get higher FPS, if you are on 3000 series then you are out of luck as these drivers will not detect your graphics card.

@sorry_dunno it has nothing to do with your hardware, the issue is wide spread, the game does something that causes drivers to crash, might be the game, drivers fault, or DX12 fault.
there are no workarounds or fix, older drivers dont crash as much as new ones but they still crash randomly.

i noticed that frequent crashes happen whn playing at the bottom left regions of the map, it crashes every 15-30 mins, in other areas its much less frequent. thats why you see crashing reports after playing 50 hours as you dont get to these regions until you are leveled up and match the required level per each.

Nvidia knows about these crashes and tried to fix and posted in multiple release notes about the fix, it but till today its not actually fixed.
